Stop lying. Projections and rankings are facts that are easily verified.
Not one person thought the first time p5 coach inheriting a team picked LAST in the conference was supposed to go the the NCAA each year. The only ones retroactively claiming he should have are those trying to twist things to fit an agenda.
Pearl had already let the team fall off the cliff. His last year the regular season was worse than Martin's first. Losses to College of Charleston, Oakland, and Charlotte . He had a much better roster with a one and done NBA All Star and got a bid we didn't deserve then got whooped by 30 in the tourney. Then we lose all the good players off of that team. The program was already in a downturn with Pearl buddy.
Pearl' s last year 19-15 8-8 SEC. Martin first year 19-15 10-6 SEC.
Dude stop making crap up. No one thought the team coming off that Pearl season and losing all the good players would even be .500.
Martin was probably tired of death threats to his family. I know I wouldn't put up with it. Then add on the expectations that only existed for him and he was probably right to go. Just look at the way Barnes is beloved and people hate Martin despite the same situation and Martin winning more.
I didn't bring up race pal. The one who did has the problem, not me. Just like you. You have "coincidentally" hated every black head coach, coordinator, or quarterback.
You can't make up things. Fact is both were picked in the same spot. Both had no returning good players. Martin won more in the same time frame.
Barnes is a better coach. Martin did well here too for the situation he was put it. Anyone that can't acknowledgethat has an agenda.
Perhaps the most reasonable post in this thread.
