Phil Cunningham has taken himself out of the running to be next HC

11-20 last year at Troy

6-7 this year

I'd post Robert Kirby's record- but he doesnt have one

Good thing Scott isn't crazy enough to consider either of them.

Hopefully Bailey Howell doesn't want either to be hired.

So we have breaking news that...

1) Ray won't be here next year

2) It won't be Cunningham

3) It won't be Kirby

Is your source a homeless person in Jackson? Everybody with a brain can guess these 3. No offense.

Wake me up if you hear that we are canning his ass before the season ends.

Dont be a dick my friend- there will be a little push for Kirby

Not trying to be a dick. More so saying, why the hell is it taking so long for this to be news? Ray should already be fired and anybody pushing for Kirby should be forced to never post on bball again.

Since you have mentioned rehiring Stans multiple times, I think you should be banned from these type of discussions.

We aren't going to hire a coach with a history of NCAA violations and debauchery. So you might as well give it up.

If this is true, I'd call Michael white or Archie miller (Dayton)

"Pitino's salary annual salary starts at $1.2 million. This is broken down into a base salary of $500,000, which will go up by at least five percent every year, and "supplemental compensation" of $700,000 per year, which will remain constant."


"Coach Pitino- this is Scott Stricklin at Miss State- how are you? We would like to talk to you about becoming our next HC. We are prepared to offer you a package worth $2MM plus incentives if we feel it's a good fit for us. When would you like to meet?"
