    I don't want Ray fired (yet) but I wish we could get Derek Kellogg. Probably a long shot.

    I already listed my top three and they would all be legit and would come here with the right salary:

    Michael White (Louisiana Tech)
    Kermit Davis (MTSU)
    Robert Kirby (Memphis Assistant)

    Those three would all be big upgrades to Ray. Trust me.

    We had a chance last time around and didn't want his top assistant. His top assistant and best recruiter (Joe Dooley).

    Our admin refused to interview Dooley. Actually, hired Ray the weekend of Final Four in New Orleans without him having been on campus.

    White is on Auburn's list

    and aGAIN I mention- our AD worked with Kirby and knew him well. And didnt even consider him for the job.

    Dooley lost today in the conference finals, but he should have at least been interviewed.
    Mullen was hired never having been on campus, and I have no problem with that, if it's a competent hire. Ray was a desperate hire. By our empty suit AD.

    I gave Croom, Dan, Cohen, Polk II, etc. time to turn things around, and Ray is going to get the same opportunity from me.

    Tubby Smith liked coaching in the SEC, should have hired him to begin with. Not sure he would leave TT now though. so I wont include him on my list... Bruce Pearl would fill the seats and would win but our AD and Prez are too scared to hire him so I wont include him either.. my list is the most unusual you have seen but yet it is a simple one..

    Russ Springmann- Texas Assistant
    Blaine Taylor- Former Old Dominion Head Coach
    mike Rhodes- VCU assistant
    Kermit davis- MTSU head Coach
    Scott Sutton- Oral Roberts Head Coach.

    before you jump all over this I challenge you to do a little research on every one of these guys.. I'd trade ray for any of them.

    Kermit Davis has as much baggage as Pearl.

    Quite an interesting post. You dare those to somehow predict the future. Although simple reason can accumulate a long list of candidates with experience and W-L records far greater than Rick Rays. So that excercize seems futile.

    Better yet, you list the accomplishments of the esteemed Mr. Ray that proves he should be retained.

    What about John Brady and Him bring Butch Pierre? That way you get the best recruiter in the big 12 and a HC that has twice been SEC coach of the year plus been to the final four.. But , I would take Elmer Fudd over Rick Ray
