Memphis Could Have Avoided This Mess

In most cases if John Calipari were to stay quiet for this long, someone might want to shove a cell phone under his nose to see if he showed any signs of life.

This is different. There can be only two reasons why he has maintained public silence for such a long period:

1) He’s seriously considering becoming the head coach at NC State, but it’s a tough decision because of the great team he’d be leaving behind;

2) He’s torturing the Memphis administration with a long wait because certain people were foolish enough to believe he couldn’t/wouldn’t leave for another job.

    my educated guess is that one day there might possibly be an opportunity for the chance that theoretically blah blah blah…I want someone to tell me a friggin fact.

    I agree that if JC doesn’t pan out we should hire an interim coach and test the waters again next spring

    BINGO

    I think we should hire Rick Majerus if Calipari doesn’t work out and in three years…when he re-retires we should go after Barnes…again.

    interim coach is going to do all the recruiting??

    interim coaching staff??? are you nuts?

    hire my buddy Rich Yoniker, he never get no credit at UNC. he might have looked like an idiot running to free throw line, but no worse than State going to look after getting ditched by Barnes and Cal. burb

    Majerus says oh-fense instead of ah-fense, i can’t stand that

    Think about it, Ced’s gone, recruits antsy. Eat next season and make us more competitive for the long haul.

    I bet Eddie Biedenbach would do it for a year.

    just talked to my buddy Sam perkins, after doing some cocaine he say he saw Dean taking state job in a vision.

  14. JimmyVguy 04/11/2006 at 5:02 PM #

    I think that an interim is what we just had for the last 15 years.

    Anyone remember what Majerus did to USC a few years ago? I’m not interested in this tub of lard for a second

    Forgot to mention, earlier today on 850, some guy that played baseball at UNCW (where Cal played for 2 years) said, in not so many words, that he didn’t have the balls to come here and face Coach K and Roy multiple times per year.

    Unc mafia not going to let Cal take job, look at what UNC mafia do to Hodge. burb

  18. NYPack 04/11/2006 at 5:04 PM #

    Dickie V could be our interim coach. He’d jump at the opportunity to get even a few feet closer to his heroes K and the Dookies
