    Don't fret. As soon as we lose by 15 to Houston in Kansas City and get knocked out by UConn or Purdue the weekend after the bitchfest will resume.

    Lmao, you think winning one game against an unranked team means RT is the guy. Yeah fucking right. This team is inconsistent as fuck. They were as likely to lose by 20 as they were to win by 20. Consistency is a coaching issue. If they beat Baylor on the road, come get me.

    The stupidity of this post is mind bottling. Everyone on the planet realized Shaka needed to go, including Shaka himself. And Barnes wasn’t pushed out for on the court issues. The University had no choice but to let him go due to off court issues they’ve chosen to not publicize. It’s obvious you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. You’re a real genius alright. 

    Can you elaborate at least a little bit here?

    I have a lot of problems with RT, starting with him being our head coach, but that ain't one of them.  He shouldn't have done it, but our mediocre future was already full steam ahead by that point.

    Agreed

    and he's done a much better job than anyone is willing to give him credit. Texas had 2 returning players after the season was over and no incoming HS recruits. If there was a new coach, then you are probably looking at a team without Disu, Abmas, Shedrick, Weaver, Hunter, and Mitchell. Maybe that would have been better alternative, but there's not a lot of success turning over entire rosters in a single off-season in college basketball. Beard's 1st team had some dreadful performances and lost the best a guy now predicited to go in the lottery and another needed big before the season even ended.

    I am begining to think that the majority of the people in this thread would have gladly traded the EE finish if it meant Rodney Terry wouldn't be the coach today.

    If Texas plays like it did vs. Kansas State and West Virginia and at Baylor and at Oklahoma, they will likely beat Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
    I'm not sure how "regressing" is being 2-2 in the last four games -- including the biggest blowout of the conference season against a team we lost on the road to -- with road losses to a pair of Top 6 teams.

    we played them at home you dipshit

    Shaka went 11-22 in year two. So pull up a chair, get comfy, and impotently wave your pom poms for the next two years. 

    Shaka had been to a final four and actually had potential. Also, we wanted him to be the coach. Big difference.

    It was a mess left by Beard. He put little effort into HS recruiting last season outside of Johnson, Holland, and Stojakovic and had a team that was going to be losing most of the experienced players. Terry's biggest mistake was bringing back Hunter and Mitchell.

    Is this satire? Did i miss the blue font? You are joking right?

    Seeing as we're playing two teams we've beaten (Baylor at home, Oklahoma on the road) in addition to a home game against an Oklahoma State team that's 12-15, 4-10 I'd be happy to take your cash. 
    And that's excluding Tuesday's game at a team that's 3-5 in its last eight including losses to UCF, Cincinnati and TCU. 

    If you think we are beating Baylor in Waco, I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska I would like to sell to you.

    Cool. Let's let them call the shots then and quit our bitching.

    That is what CDC is paid to manage. He lets them have input without calling the shots. He is the CEO for our sports. BTW, I do not believe that our BMDs think RT is the right guy for the job. They will give him till next year and if it is more of the same, they will turn on him.

    I must have missed that post. Is it the mess that RT created or some mythical mess created by someone else?

    Beard. Obviously Beard was pulverizing this program into shambles before Saint Terry saved us all from eternal mediocrity.

    He kept the team together and got it to the Elite Eight for the first time in 15 years.

    He absolutely earned the job.

    Did he earn a five year deal? Well, there we're in sort of a gray area.

    I could've kept that team together. It was a bunch of seniors, they weren't gonna quit just because their coach was a POS. In the real world, you thank RT for his efforts, he goes somewhere else to prove he can hack it at the highest level, and if he succeeds maybe you hire him back if the next guy doesnt work out. But no, we are so concerned with optics we tied a deadweight around our necks for 5 years so people wouldnt write mean tweets about us. #winning

    CDC better be making moves behind the scenes. We can’t take this bullshit into the SEC with a new gym. 

    We are stuck with him till the end of next season even if we lose out by 30 in every game.

    Based on his performance as the interim head coach. He earned the job.

    So he coached someone else's team, someone else's recruits, and a team that was all senior led btw, to a tie game in the round of 32 with Penn State (a 10 seed) with less than 2 minutes remaining and we pulled out a squeaker. Then we beat a team we were seeded higher than before choking a 20 point lead to a 5 seed. You call that "earning" it. No the fuck he did not. Penn State hits a couple of buckets and everything is different. You really think RT made the difference on that team last year? Haha no

    Idk that’s a tricky one. I think Texas didn’t have to but they played it safe. You were really going yo fire a coach who won the conference tourny and got you to the elite 8?? 
     

    that’s a slippery slope, ESPN and socials would have had a field day with Texas had we fired RT

    How would we be firing someone who was in an interim position? Lol
