Yeah I get it. Just didn't think today is the best data point. Oxford (along with Starkville) are really poorly positioned to be big attendance venues for basketball (especially midweek). Oxford and Starkville metro statistical areas are the smallest population towns in the SEC with the major...

The only people in Oxford are in that building. The rest of the state is in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl

I'm interested to see the Florida and Mississippi State games early in the SEC. On paper Tennessee should win but both opposing coaches have seen the "system". I think you may get some indication in both games how easy it is to pick apart and/or whether it has actually changed since last year.

Maybe. I wont dismiss it totally out of hand. But in this new era with as much money as is involved time is not her friend. If this system requires 2-3 years to pay off then it was the wrong hire.

Nope but when you've got as much money invested as they do, especially in comparison to the rest of the competition, today is a BIG problem.

South Carolina was a Chevy pinto when she took over. Tennessee wasn't in great shape but that analogy is a big stretch.

I saw initially that Bates resigned at UCLA...I wondered what she was up to. Texas gonna be a power soon.

Arizona, California, Nevada are not the midwest. Those are baseball hot beds. The Oregon and Kansas guy are primarily midwest. Totally different.

Vaughn is the only acceptable candidates out of that group of alleged names. The Kansas and Oregon guys have minimal experience in the southeast--mostly midwest guys. The Murray State guy is a nice story but I hate hires from mid-majors based off one time gems. He may turn out awesome but...

I hear you, I'm just saying if DW didn't like Tony he won't like Wes either.

Wes Johnson is hilarious. If Tony wasn't DW style, then Johnson won't be either.

You can't keep everyone happy. But alienating anyone that spends money as a Vol fan in this day and age is a mi$take. There is an easy play/risk averse if he can get out of his own way. You hire the assistant. If he fails...wish him well and move on. Its not on you. Furthermore, this is...

Your analogy is off bud. Its more like the CEO of a company having no communication with one of his division leaders thats a direct report. The CEO doesn't have contact with the Brand Analyst, but they do with the Brand Managers and Chief Marketing Officers

Which is in itself a problem. Its his responsibility to know whats going on.

Minion? Thats not even the artillery.
