February 25, 200719 yr That I agree with you about. I would agree and disagree with you here. He knew what he was getting into when he took the job. back in 98. He knew how the UK fans were and how they would react if things got bad. Unfortunately for Tubby he hasn't done anything in the last 2-3 years to help himself. Like I have said previously; You can get all the MCD's all americans you want. It comes down to developing talent once you get them to the school. I don't know I have mixed feelings. I like Tubby as a person but it may be time for a new face.
February 25, 200719 yr ^ I think he will leave....he has taken more heat than he deserves.. :thumb: Exactly, I feel really bad for the guy because the junior class could care less about the program...
February 25, 200719 yr :thumb: Exactly, I feel really bad for the guy because the junior class could care less about the program... And that's exactly what it's came too. It used to be an honor to wear a UK jersey and now certain players are making it a joke. Kentucky needs to start fresh. Rid of Morris in the worst way, and for UK's sake get rid of Tubby. Not that he's a bad person or coach, just not the right fit for UK. I hope we can get it together soon but unfortunately I think we're in for a long ride.
February 25, 200719 yr ^ I think he will leave....he has taken more heat than he deserves.. I don't know if he will leave or not, Imo he won't.................I do agree 100% on Tubby has taken more heat than deserved.
February 25, 200719 yr :thumb: Exactly, I feel really bad for the guy because the junior class could care less about the program... :thumb: I still will support Tubby, I supported all the previous coaches from Rupp to OTS and will support the future coach/coaches. That does not mean that I don't question some things but OTS is getting a lot of crap that is not deserved and imo you are correct about the jr. class. They could give a crap less, at least that is what shows on their play most of the time.
February 26, 200719 yr I would agree and disagree with you here. He knew what he was getting into when he took the job. back in 98. He knew how the UK fans were and how they would react if things got bad. I actually disagree here...when Rick took over the UK fans would take anything deemed as moving towards success, than he made them the #1 program in the land (mid 90's).....the UK fans loved him, and never showed the ire that they do now......Tubby won his first year....and then the demise started....and this is where it lies now.
February 26, 200719 yr Did anyone notice Tubbie's blood curdling screams when KY was on defense? It was distracting to my fat butt trying to watch the game, I could only imagine how distracting it must be to a player. Should a college coach need to scream like that at this point in the season?
February 26, 200719 yr If he does leave, on his own free will, he won't until at least April 1st. He gets a 1.5 Million dollar "Loyalty" bonus if he's still head coach at that date. He won't be gone until April 2, if then. He is a nice guy, but the classes he recruits seem to end up full of thugs or malcontents about every 3 years. (Chiles, Sears, Carruth, et al was the last time we had a problem like this, but we did win then.) We can recruit talent, but for some reason we can't find heart. The freshman class has heart. That is at least a building block.

OINK!!!
February 26, 200719 yr They shot 59% for the game, but turned it over 10 more times than Vandy. Like I said in the update thread, I'm not watching another game this year. I'll follow it in the recaps and the postgames, but I am not going to waste two hours of my life watching this crap again this season. There you go, give up on them. That's exactly what this team needs. I watched Cincinnati football for many years and wasted 4 hours of my life, but I still watched every Sunday...
February 26, 200719 yr I don't know if it's technically giving up on them when they may be giving up first.
February 26, 200719 yr The Cats let this one get away from them. Morris must pick the games he wants to play in, he sure did not show up today.
