Things will get better eventually!!!! Don't pay that much attention to the media

In year one or two for CCM at UT, I would have been thrilled to win the NIT. Then obviously expectations go up from there. The team and coach must show improvement. It was great when our beloved Vols went to 6 NCAA tournaments in a row, but things change.

Year one was a mess because of what Pearl left so that shouldn't count,should have made it in year two and a bad call away from elite 8 in year 3.

So when Roy Williams won the the big dance in 08-09 and then the following year they went to the NIT, does that make him a bad coach?

Tennessee fans would take that scenario in a heartbeat.A championship would be a 10 year pass

No of course not. The Martin haters had been making that argument his whole tenure. I'm pointing out if it wasn't good enough why hire someone who did it and has less experience on top of that?

Get off your soapbox media writers...Cuonzo left, he wasn't fired!!! He did it on his own terms, sure the fan base wanted him gone...honestly this whole thing has been broken down and scrutinized way too much...on a different note, we as fans deserve the right to ***** and moan if we want. This talk that he had the 3rd winningest % in the SEC is all subjective to me. Fans I.m.o. should never be the ones to blame because in my eyes there such a broad spectrum of types of fans that you can only please a small %...so to the ones who stood their ground with Zo I salute you...to the ones who criticized (not chastized like I have) constructively I salute you...I for one am glad Zo is gone...its best for all parties. Now maybe we can get a guy in here that don't have a shadow cast over him by a former Coach. A guy that will be admired by a larger % of the fan base...I have no names, I'm personally glad that it won't be Zo, for the simple reason that it was time to cut ties and everyone new it...

I owe you an apology....I thought you would have a different take

How is he better? Tubby has multiple bids and a NC. He made the round of 32 last season there. Pitino made the NIT with the same program the next year. According to the ones who wanted Martin gone that is terrible. No matter what, if the team before you goes to the NCCA and you don't the next year you are trash as a coach.

Now you are starting to understand, took a while, but you'll figure it out in time.

Spot on, Reporters no longer exist its a bunch of little Jerry Springer's running around creating as much drama as they can to get reads and tweets. This reality tv generation falls right into the "oh no media said something bad about us dram drama drama" bs

I couldn't have said it better Loco
