Holy frick. Dude gets like $3.5 million a year. Wow



Will Wade was clearly the reason for VCU making the Final 4 in 2011.

Yet you can’t get rid of him after being a 3 seed

Sure you can, but they won’t.

Sure you can. The Raptors shite canned Dwane Casey after a 59-23 1st place finish. I know NBA and college are different, but if the guy isn't right, you make the move. Shaka's teams used to press like crazy and run wild and now that they're not doing it, he's a very mediocre coach.

Problem is you fire Shaka you better have your guy already hired

I’m not sure who would be that guy though.

I think UT needs to stop fricking around with Mid major guys and get a NBA retread or throw the Brinks truck at Underwood

That would be known as the 6th Street stimulus package.

Maybe Shaka will find a soft place to land first.

0-6 in the tournament and makes 3.5m/yr. I know they just paid a shite load to can the football staff, but Shaka's time might be up.

Texas played this game in football and McWilliams Strong and Herman screwed them over with it
In Baseball they did it and again look what’s happening

In Basketball the only guy that was seriously in title hunt was Rick and he was at Clemson when hired. Shaka, Penders, Abe, and Wentzel all were busts. Penders was only one of that group that even had Texas fans interested.

it takes a proven big time HC to handle everything at Texas, regardless of the sport. yet they refuse to go out and hire that type of coach. I wonder why?

That was a bad loss tonight. Upsets obviously happen, but Abilene Christian didn't even hit 30% of their shots. Texas should've buried them.

Smart won't be fired, but you can make the case he should be.

Personality of the boosters and DeLoss isn’t there anymore. Say what you want about DeLoss but he understood it was a coaches show and stay out of their way. Hire the best established one out there from a monster

If I’m running the search I call 3 guys until they put a restraining order on me

Stevens
Underwood
Billy Donovan

If all those fail

My next 2 are
Mussleman
Enfield

If those fail go get
Mike Miller away from Memphis. Apparently Miller is the recruiter at Memphis

Bad example. Dodds wanted Gary Barnett (he was at Northwestern at the time) and the boosters overrode him and chose Mack Brown.
