That is the difference between a coach who can promote his program and one who can't. Coach Martin could not / would not sell his program to the fans so there was no sense that he had us going in the right direction. Coach Jones on the other hand had a 5-7 season and a good recruiting class and...

I totally agree. It is the fleecing of the Big Orange Fans that makes me so mad. They expect the fans to pay out money like drunk Indians but give them a low budget product in return. I just wish one time they would show a little commitment to do what it takes to get the job done.

If White turns us down then I would say anyone on the current list right now will also. If Hart is squeezing the buyout money so hard none of these guys will take a chance on this job. I can't wait to hear Hart's spin when he does hire someone. It will be who he wanted all along and is the...

In my opinion it would be money spent wisely to maybe over extend the budget a little to get a coach that would create a buzz with the fans and potential recruits rather than hiring a budget friendly coach that every one is like, ok we will see how he does. You would most likely get a quicker...

I don't think Hart has any plans to spend the money to get a top coach. However he does want it to look like they are willing to spend the money so I look for news to surface that he offered the Job to someone like Marshall but got turned down. The bottom line is if they were serious about...

Results are what matters but you can't thumb your nose at the fans either and act like you don't need them anyway.

I totally disagree with the statement about the out of bounds play at the end of the game being a good play. It really wasn't even a play. I have seen better plays drawn up in that situation in men's league games at the YMCA. First of all why would you give Stokes the ball that far away from the...

You are exactly right but in my opinion if he wants to be successful here he needs to make more of an effort to be liked by the fans. He won 24 games and made it to the sweet 16 this year and almost had to leave. The ride would be much smoother for everyone if he would connect with the fans...

I'm glad Coach Martin is staying because we would have really taken a big step backwards if he had left. It has been said Coach Martin is a players coach, well if he really wants to be successful at UT he needs to work on being a fans coach as well. At this level of college sports there is more...

Jones may as well keep his current staff. If he did decide to replace someone the administration would not spend the money to go out and get a difference maker coach so he is better off keeping coaches he is comfortable with.

That was the first thing I thought of

I agree with everything you said. I'm just saying if Dave Hart is still in charge after 3 years he will give Jones at least 5 years to be succcessful. I guess it is a matter of opinion as to what is considered successful. Who knows, we could improve the play on the field greatly and still only...

I think Butch Jones and staff would have to be a complete train wreck for Dave Hart to pull the plug on them after 3 years. Hart will give him every chance to turn it around because he is his guy. He will give him at least 5 years.

Read Marvin West's columns in the Union County paper.

We "reached out" to Gruden, we "reached out" to Stoops, we "reached out" to Gundy, we "reached out" to Strong, we "reached out" to T Martin. We "reached out" but I think it was like Justin Hunter reaches out for a pass over the middle, with aligator arms!
