UK. It comes from Mark Bradley's article in which he calls for an end
to Felton's tenure.
It's hard to argue with Woody's comment given how well the team played
during the Tourney in terms of tempo, aggression and general
competence vs now.
Right now this team is a total mess. They have fewer field goals than
turnovers in the past two games.
The questions in my mind are:
1. would a mid-season termination hurt us in our search for a
replacement for Felton?
2. Would a mid-season firing do anything more than put us and him out
of our collective misery?
3. Doesn't an SEC Tourney title count for something? No matter how
absurd the tourney was it is still a title. Doesn't that buy him more
than half 3 SEC games?
4. I'm not interested in any of the assistants as replacements long
term so what's the point of giving them a chance?
5. What will it "fix?" Now?
The best reason to remove him would be if you thought the existing
players would play better with Hermann or Jones as head coach.
I can't defend where we are and no one else can either. Not with a
straight face. It's bad and it's inexcusably bad for year 6.
The dates to watch for a possible mid-season termination are next
Monday if we lose to MSU, Feb 12 after the 4 of 5 road game swing, and
March 8 after the last regular season game.
The real issue isn't who coaches next week. The issue is who coaches
next season?
Can he save his job? Sure....if he can deliver 2 months of what we got
in the McThriller Dome. Tallest of orders. It will be interesting to
see what David Ching says on this topic.
