Why is everyone so down on Tyndall?

[TeazyT]

You have to get it through your thick skull is that the big name coaches WANT to come here...But the school does not want to pay them what they are demanding...So they go after coaches who make a little money and give them their big break into big time college basketball...I will bet anybody on this board that if Hart went to Marshall right now and said we'll pay you 3 mill a year to coach Tennessee he would be on the first plane out of kansas.

Just get that spare 3 million dollars we have lying around in TBA. Who has the thick skull again?

Sparty's post has me tickled. Cracking up.

 

[Tux]

I'm not down on Tyndall. I am disappointed that no effort was made to land Marshall or Howland, two of the best coaches in the land.

 

[SDV]

He looks awkward, but someone put up a pic of him with Jones and Serrano and honestly he looked like he fit right in (no neck brothers).

Martin was probably the best looking coach we've had in a while.

If thats the reason,lord help this fan base... you can put Quasimoto in an orange blazer,as long as he wins,I don't care...

What is it that people have said they didn't like about him? Honest question. I haven't really read.

if any place needs levity, we do and this place does

its not there...it was under my seat at the OW game...
I'm keeping it... Hart will have to work with what little he has now...

 

[dsvol]

No 1 reason why a lot of fans are down on any coach we get is because we are all die hard, misguided Vol fans. Dave Hart can be interviewing Phil Jackson and there would be about 20-50 Vol fans complaining why he shouldn't be the coach. There's no pleasing us, doesn't matter who Hart hires. Someone on this board is going to go all crazy and the next poster is going to put up a smiley face eating popcorn. Just go with it man, and enjoy the ride!

Go Vols!

My anger is more directed at an ineffective and egotistical AD than it is at Tyndall himself. Tyndall is just the result.

It is also the inconsistencies. Tyndall left Morehead amidst major NCAA violations. But we won't take a call from Howland?

Or re- hire the coach that would walk barefoot 300 miles to get here, Bruce Pearl

I thought you were saying that people said he looks like Terry Bowden in drag and thats the reason they didnt like him... I was just saying our fans are ef'ing crazy if thats the reason...Main reasons I've seen is because a bunch who don't watch basketball,have never heard of him,he's the #2 choice,and he's a mid-major coach...

they only want people they have heard of,no matter if its a good fit,he's a good coach,etc...they just want someone they've heard of...I've heard of Kevin O Neill,doesn't mean I want him to coach UT...stupid reasons are stupid...

 

[jdogvol]

can I be honest? Because he looks a little awkward, is one reason. People won't admit it, but I think its a reason. His track record is solid and his style is something UT fans seem to like. He kindof looks like a womens basketball coach. just sayin. Like the one Vandy or somebody used to have, with a mix of Terry Bowden, who I wouldn't want because I think Terry with a wig looks like a woman.

man...I hope this is sarcasm

 

[GOVOLS94]

Because everyone is jumping to conclusions without even realizing that they do not have all the facts. We only know what has been reported through the media...let this thing play out a little bit.

Kind of looks like a nose tackle to me.....but I like him..

Lots of homely coaches out there.

Coach K looks like the human form of a rat, but players love him.

 

[UTProf]

Cause Hart wants to go after all these mid major coaches whose name you have to google instead of going after well known coaches whose had success everywhere he's been.

That's not entirely his fault. We still don't have the money. We will have but don't have it yet. We are still paying for Hamilton's mistakes (aka Dooley and his entire staff) plus spending all of our money on facilities and general mismanagement.

 

[patrick]

I think it is because they are emotional and can't handle the national backlash we are facing. In the end when we are still going to the NCAA tournament most years we will be the ones laughing.

I had to listen to South Carolina radio today bashing OUR basketball program...I wanted to smash my car into a tree, but I remembered that in a couple years when we beat them for the 9th year in a row I will still be smiling and laughing at them.

Everyone needs to think big picture and calm down.

Should have smashed your car into the radio station......

looks like Orgeron to me....

It doesn't fit the agenda some have so they will not admit it. UT fans love mediocre coaches more than any I have ever seen, half out fan base makes cult heroes out of them.

 

[1985Vols]

man...I hope this is sarcasm

Yeah, kind of. I find it amusing Hart would hire a coach that left a school amidst major NCAA violations as the OP stated but wouldn't give CBP a second chance when we had an opportunity to do so.

 

[calban]

we need another guy like him (Pearlesque), very energetic, sells the program, etc. The fans will definitely get behind another coach like this

Tyndall is a high energy guy. Even looks a little like Pearl.

 

[vol66]

WOW.

When exactly did Hart have the opportunity?

I'm no Hart defender, but geez...

Southern Miss Basketball Harlem Shake - YouTube

Made me laugh.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

None of the big time coaches want to come here. You people need to get that through your thick skulls. We got turned down by La. Tech's coach. Let that sink in. He makes 500k. You really think a big name would come here when he wouldn't?

Thanks.

I am measuring the distance between my toe and the trigger as we speak now.

 

[maddux5150]

I like Hart he's doing a great job. Hammy left us in a no win situation. He's still cleaning up hammys mess.
