5-7

8-4 in his second season at a perpetual 2 win program.

 

[BruinVol]

5-6 isn’t close to AP norm.

But 5-6 years aren't going to get the next guy a D1 HC job either

 

[bignewt]

Yeah so lock is announced but not enos?

 

[BruinVol]

8-4 in his second season at a perpetual 2 win program.

That's what got him hired I agree but it's never a good thing to see a coach slip by 3 games in one year

 

[BJSforVols]

I have no opinion on if he should have taken the job.

I was discussing the fact that it’s no longer impossible to win there.

It is though. What was Healy’s record for his tenure at Peay? What was Healy’s record in 2018 at Peay?

I grew up 20 minutes from Austin Peay. It has always been the Vandy of the OVC and remains that today.

 

[BruinVol]

Yeah so lock is announced but not enos?

head jobs are very very different than hiring for an assistant job

 

[chavisut]

But 5-6 years aren't going to get the next guy a D1 HC job either

No but I’m not talking about that.

 

[butchna]

He won 1 season. He lost the other seasons he was there. A huge deal was made of the one season (rightfully so) but the team regressed this season back to the Austin Peay norm. Healy has spiked as the hot, new rising star.

Your opinion. UNC-Charlotte doesn’t share it. This was a two win program...and he won 8...but “only” once.

 

[BruinVol]

No but I’m not talking about that.

Ok that's fair

I just think taking that job would be very unwise for Tee

 

[BJSforVols]

Yes it is if you look back at their history.

 

[butchna]

But 5-6 years aren't going to get the next guy a D1 HC job either

No...his 8-4 season did tho.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If Doug Matthews is correct, then these "interviews" have been pick the brain sessions. It would make some sense. We had trouble with these offenses this yr. their names being out there allows them to get up their price to other schools.

It seems far fetched to me but Doug isn't the type to go this far with something. At the same time we all did find it strange that everyone he was talking to was uptempo

 

[butchna]

Ok that's fair

It displays whether you could handle being a HC or not.

 

[Ace]

Because it’s sports. I don’t care who Dell hires as the assistant to the regional manager for their Nashua branch. But millions of people have a vested interest emotionally but more so, financially.

So basically, it should be open because you want it to be public. Ok

 

[chavisut]

Depends on the coach.

 

[BruinVol]

He can't win enough there to prove that imo

 

[Nashvegas31]

Ok that's fair

At least Tee is aware he is overrated as a coach. He knows he would fail at Austin Peay. He has to go somewhere that he can win with Jimmys and Joe's because his X and Os is lacking

 

[BJSforVols]

No but I’m not talking about that.

We’re talking about why Tee should or should not take the Austin Peay job. How is it not about thT then? Are you saying Tee has no desire to be a top name for a HC one day?

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

I’m cool with Eons

I was willing to wait a couple of weeks, perhaps even into 2019, for Pruitt to trot out the new OC. But if we're talking eons I say it's time to fahr Pruitt.

 

[chavisut]

No, I wasn’t talking about whether he should or not.

 

[LA Vol]

Did the Bama OC head on to Maryland or did he hang around for the playoffs as Pruitt did?

Locksley has been in MD since he was hired. He won't return to Bama until they resume practice-- next weekend, I believe. He'll juggle both jobs through the playoffs.

 

[VinnieVOL]

Some gifs are timeless and I chuckle every time I see them.

 

[BJSforVols]

Your opinion. UNC-Charlotte doesn’t share it. This was a two win program...and he won 8...but “only” once.

How? They hired him didn’t they? That was my point. He had to jump now because he had already regressed from the season which had gained him interest as the hot, rising star. Another season such as 2018, and even a new program such as CHARLOTTE is most likely no longer interested.

 

[StoVol]

so basically the argument is that Tee is not as good of a coach as healy if he should not, in fact, take the job for the reasons y'all are enumerating

 

[BruinVol]

Good info
