Frank Broyles hiring Pat Summitt

[BigPapaVol]

I think Broyles is about to set the basketball world on its ear with a landmark hire as his mens basketball coach - PAT SUMMITT.

She won't be singing Rocky Top with Bruce any more. It's all about calling the Hogs with Frank.

wow...

Papa, you're going to have to lay it on a little thicker, I'm afraid.

 

[GAVol]

Double wow . . . I'm not sure it gets much thicker.

Thicker: Pokey Chapman has been hired as assistant head coach.

Clearly I'm kidding, but thought it would be amusing and bring out the best in some of our posters here.

 

[Sudeepvol]

well i mean it COULD happen....im sure some men's programs want her.....

 

[Jaytrain5]

even Frank Broyles isn't crazy enough to make that move.

 

[BigPapaVol]

c'mon. I was lampooning the situation AR finds itself in.

The old joke for years was that they should just give her the reins of the men's program at UT. I don't know how that would work out, but I'd pay the price of admission to watch it.

 

[cibai]

that would make for one funny moment when Ark gets turned down. Its almost becoming Bama-esque over there.

Apparently BigPapaVol is just a pseudonym for Skip Bayless.

I don't think that was a joke.

Didn't Pat Summit turned down the job to coaching the men's BB team in the 90's?

I believe before Houston was hired.

That was my understanding. I don't know if it got to the point where she actually turned it down, per se, but supposedly at one point she was approached to see if she'd be interested in coaching the men's team.

No question she could handle the coaching part of it, but the recruiting might be another story. I just can't see a woman getting the players she'd need to win.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Player respect would be a big challenge

It will only be Bamaesque if they actually get Billy Donavan some time in mid-May.

ricola ridiculous

Even Pat isn't crazy enough to go to arkansas & take a step down....there is something serious going on over there...altman saw the writing on the wall & got out!

 

[jcolli30]

Even though I think Pat would do just as good in men's as in women's, I don't think that she could pull the recruits. It would make a really good Disney movie though.

I'm glad I scrolled down a little before I responded to the title of this thread because that is exactly what I was going to say!!

Skip Bayless said yesterday that Broyles should hire Summitt
