POLL: How do you feel about Martin's departure

[Aesius]

Meh.

Was average. Except for a few hot streaks he underachieved. Recruited decently but wasn't a great in-game coach.

UT can get a better coach.

Agreed. The Sweet 16 run may have been the best thing to happen to both Martin and UT.

Saved us $1 million and saved him from getting fired.

Elated… Save for a late run against an 11 seed, an overrated 6 seed and a Cinderella 14 seed, he really never did anything while he was at UT.

That option even sounds like a joke! All those excuses.. who's to say we wouldn't have made a similar run last year had we gotten in? Then you guys would REALLY be upset.

I can't defend everything CCM has done during his tenure here, but he was a bad call away from taking this program as far as it's ever gone. He would have done it sooner than precious Bruce too.

 

[Dave1967]

Happy as hell. The effer never really liked UT and I'm glad to see him gone. I'll be rooting for every team that plays California.

there's a church choir in Knoxville missing their bass

Ask me after the new coach is named. This could be a great opportunity to upgrade, but I have my doubts that will happen.

3... he is good at best

 

[butchna]

For years, we complained about Chavis and he finally left. We kept saying that no other coach wanted him to coach their defense, but he went to LSU and did well for a couple of years.

Now, we have been wanted to get rid of Martin. Now, he is gone!

"Now, we have been wanted"? :huh:


Oh yeah! MEH...DOUBLE MEHERS....by a mile! :good!:

I was hoping he landed the Marquette job. I'm glad he left on his own, another 2-3 years with CM would have just set the program further back on its heels.

This :rock:
The University also gets 1.3 million for him leaving on his own.

Glad we found some common ground.

Now, watch us hire someone from Comrade Putin University or Iowa Lakes Community College.
