don't worry, it'll be an easy transition. there was a call to fire the head coach 5 mins into the first game.

Its actually possible to follow multiple sports at once.

Which is why I stayed off this board during the game. Of the sports boards this one is the roughest.

Thats interesting coming from someone who is one of the most adamant "fire the coach" types on the football board.

Ive always found it strange that some of the most anti sumlin posters are also the most vocal pro kennedy posters. You expect some ags will always defend every coach and other ags will want to fire all the coaches, but i cant see how soneone who thinks sumlin is has been a terrible coach here would think kennedy has done a good job here.

And to clarify - he meant the first, last-minute, scrimmage; not the game we eventually won by 23 against the preseason #11 team (it happened then too).

Look at the resources and support given football versus basketball. It's night and day. Sumlin was given every advantage and squandered it. If we devoted the resources to BB I would, like many other, expect more from the program.

The zoo is fun during a football game. It is so overloaded that it's difficult to even keep up with all the reactions. This place is more like a slow burn during a meltdown.

Come on now. You just said the hoops board during a game we are losing is worse than the football board. Now you are Eric Hyman and we need to manage expectations?
Sumlin had top 10 salary and resources and performed at a top 30 level so it isnt surprising he is getting fired.
But BK took over a team with 6 straight tourneys and 7 straight yrs of an RPI of 35ish and gave us 3 seasons of 120-150 RPI. Season 4 we had 3 NBA players as junior starters and got blown out at home in the NIT. Season 5 was one of the 2 or 3 best in school history but then season 6 was terrible again.

My point would be that relative to the talent and expectations, both coaches have performed similarly, and it would be one thing if you were ambivalent about both guys but you're one of the most vocal anti-sumlin and most vocal pro-kennedy.
