Annnddd -- the typical "I don't know how to search" post when you are pulling straw man positions out of your ass and attributing them to me. Which I think we all knew was coming.

The fact that we aren't better now is the root of the issue.

The root of what issue? Being worse now doesn't make before "good enough".

Lifetime contract? You are now attributing positions to a shockingly large percentage of our fanbase.

One record better than 9-7 in a floundering SEC in the final 8 years. Yet, here you are, THREE years later pining away for a guy that is long since gone -- while wishing ill on the current regime and program. Otherwise, you'd show up to talk about it in good times and bad and actively pull for the team -- but you only come around during the struggling periods in order to grind your ax about water LONG SINCE under the bridge. We beat LSU and Tennessee at 10 point dogs -- you are nowhere to be found. Yes, it's safe to say that you felt "a lifetime contract" was in order for basketball. And if you'd been posting on these boards for long enough -- you would have been one of the very ones bitching about Cohen and wishing for Raffo too. You fit the profile to a T.

No, it isn't. And no it wouldn't be. This is only obvious if he loses out or goes 1-5 in the final 6 in ugly fashion and bows out early in the SEC tourney. That's unlikely.

He isn't getting fired for 8-10 in the SEC(the most likely scenario IMO) -- and to suggest that it's a "no brainer" is ridiculous. It's not going to convince anyone that he's 100% the guy to take us forward -- but it's enough improvement that firing him for it would sabotage another coaching search on the front end. No thanks. I'll get Weatherspoon, Tookie, Strugg, Hicks, and Simonds(and a couple more to come) into school/signed on the dotted line first. And then revisit the topic at this time next year when the cupboard is in better shape than it has been at any point thusfar...
