Tubby to Memphis

[jericho]

Thats being reported as he is leading candidate. Any reason why he leaves TX Tech?

[UKMustangFan]

Really tough place to have sustained success (Texas Tech that is).

 

Memphis has unlimited resources. He'll do really well there IMO.

Maybe Lubbock Texas isn't his kind of town...plus it's on the middle of No Where!!!

I was thinking its to get Saul a fresh start after that nice little DUI he had while in Minn.

I totally agree. Would be a great hire for Memphis and a great final stop for Tubby. The city of Memphis a hotbed of athletes and basketball is king. Great city for Tubby and his family. Hope he is hired and wish him and his family great success.

Did someone actually use the words "great city" to describe Memphis? Is Memphis really a great city for anyone? Not trying to be funny either, being absolutely serious.

The actual city of Memphis may not be the greatest, but there are a lot of very nice neighborhoods around it, like up around Cordova.

 

I would like to see Tubby land there.

Coaching basketball at Memphis vs. coaching basketball at Texas Tech? No brainer.

Seems like it could be a good gig for Tubby. I was excited when Tubby left Kentucky, but never had any hard feelings towards him. By all accounts, he's as classy as it gets, a great guy and a very good basketball coach. Hope he goes to Memphis and does well.

Such an upgrade from Josh Pastner. Memphis fans should be ecstatic. They aren't. But they should be.

Memphis is a cool city to visit and go to party for a couple days. "Great city" would not make the Round of 64 in assigning Memphis superlatives.

Anyone else shocked Tubby landed a gig like this?

Been several several years since I have been to Memphis, and I didn't care for it too much then, have been told it's worse now and that even for a couple of days of partying it's not such a cool place to do that any longer. Been relayed to me that even Beale street and the "cool" places aren't worth going to visit any longer. No first hand knowledge of that though.

The answer to your question is no.
