    What does Ray have to do in order to get another year?

    The termination papers were probably already drafted until he beat FSU.

    Not a monumental win, but did stop the bleeding. Can he save his job with an 8-10 SEC season or does it take more? Or can he survive winning only 6 or 7 SEC games?

    people that have talked to the AD say that word is he will get both of his remaining 2 yrs. Stricklin gave him an extension of 1 yr after first year.

    With recruiting picking up- I think if he gets to 7 SEC wins he will surely be back. 6 or less and there is going to be some real talk of a change.

    That's not based on anything I've heard recently- just my guess.

    I know that's the plan- but a 4-14 SEC finish and people are going to get loud.

    The SEC is so horrendously bad right now, a .500 record shouldn't be unattainable.

    I agree coach - at some point it becomes apparent when it isn't going to work out. If the team from the losing streak shows up there is no way he stays.

    If the team from the Utah State and FSU wins shows up then I think he gets to 7-8 wins and makes it another year. He's got to win a road game though at some point.

    an extension after that first year is firable offense.

    What does Ray have to do in order to get another year?

    Change his name to John Calipari.

    I've seen enough. Time to pee on the fire and call the dogs.

    To me he has to finish at or above .500 overall. I haven't been asked though. ***

    What I'd do is call and threaten to cancel my subscription. They usually will give you at least a few months of free service. Don't know about a year though....that's risky. But hell, worth a try.

    For me...he needs to go .500 in SEC play.

    I think 8-10 in SEC play probably gets him his 4th year. And that's the absolutely worst case scenario for us. It's best for all involved for him to either go 6-12 and take it to the house or 12-6 and start to win over the fanbase.

    That concerns the hell out of me. Why are they making any plans/expectations for him to be here beyond next year. At the very least, we should be firmly in the judge it year by year phase of Rick Ray's tenure.

    a) Make the NIT. Tall order at this point given the four awful losses.

    b) Get Malik and at least be in the NIT conversation.

    Regardless, the month of December needs to turn out to be a slump that we show TREMENDOUS improvement out of.

    I don't think ray has to go .500 in sec play. If he's 7-11, but we're in close games with all but kentucky, he'll probably be ok.

    If he gets malik, he'll be back regardless. To get malik though, he probably has to come close to .500

    We will be lucky to win 5 in the league, that would put us at 12-19 overall.
