I'll give Texas credit they will pull that fire trigger often. Shaka got fired for same reason as Barnes...wasn't winning tourney games....NIT doesn't count that just shows your team underperformed
He had every scholarship player back and added a 5-star recruit to a team that finished 3rd in the Big 12 and won 19 games. So this year should have been better but it really wasn’t. They win 19 games and finished 3rd again. They did win the Big 12 tournament but only had to beat Texas Tech and OK St to do it as Kansas didn’t play Texas in the semifinal game, giving UT a day between games and a huge advantage over OK St. Smart simply wasn’t getting it done. He hadn’t won a single NCAA tournament game in 6 years and won less than 56% of his games.Was he on the hot seat? I know he had a first round tourney exit, but I thought his year was decent. Asking seriously as I dont follow the wrong color orange that closely.
He is correct about adversity and younger people but I’m not so sure that’s unique to the current generation. But I agree that kids shouldn’t be restricted on transfers. Schools can choose to not sign the kid if that’s a concern for them.I'm so sick of the double standard with coaches and players. Coaches do it all the time. And spare us the pearl clutching about what you're "teaching the kids".
Just heard the College GameDay crew mention Pearl's name might be mentioned in the Texas job mix...Mentioned Musselman too.Speaking of pearl clutching, Beard may be their target right now but don't be surprised if a very familiar name pops up who reportedly is bored with the "loveliest village on the plains" lifestyle.
I hope Bruce gets the Texas job and leaves AuburnSeth Greenberg pitches Bruce Pearl, Eric Musselman for Texas job
