I actually agree with the decision. I’m sorry, but after 12 years, I think an NCAA tournament appearance at SOME point is not unreasonable.

Also not unreasonable: an NIT win or two.

There is more expected from UT and there should be. I therefore applaud the decision, and I hope UT will find someone more able to help them reach the NCAA tournament goal.

My only problem: does the UT AD know who that coach is? NIU’s AD didn’t.

WHAT????

I always figured UT coaches had a deal similar to the Ohio State football coach (beat BG and we’ll let you stay). Even I, being of an admittedly weak sports constitution, can see this is a major fruckup*. If they hadn’t already torn the seats out of Savage Hall, rioters would be ripping them out and setting fire to them in frustration and puzzlement over this decision.

*Yes, I had to add a letter to the traditional F-bomb to describe how horrible a move this is.

This is an absolutely horrible decision! I will be writing a letter to the Athletic Director. My family and friends have strongly enjoyed the entire coaching staff and seasons that Stan n’ company have provided. Very dissapointed! I have been a UT student for 4 years, and a few other members of my family have attended UT as well. We are all EXTREMELY dissapointed in this POOR decision!! Whoever pulled the trigger, should be fired from their job. HORRIBLE, JUST ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!

Unless they announce at tomorrow’s press conference that Stan is Client #9 in a local prostitute sting operation, UT has really screwed the pooch!!
