OT: Pastner to Georgia Tech?

Another school begging someone to take their coach off their hands so they don't have to pay a buyout.

 

[caw]

That might be a good example of failing upward. Not that GTech is great but Memphis is becoming a dumpster fire right now.

 

[BUHusky]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

This could be a dream come true for Memphis.

 

[tcf15]

Looks like it is actually happening...

 

[kobe]

Meth prices at an all time high in Memphis tonight. Tiger fans on cloud nine.

Why would GTech hire Pastner? Ever? Memphis will be a nice open job for someone willing to eat crud for two years or so until they straighten it out.

Their AD stayed Xavier for 15 years. He clearly isn't a good decision maker.

Brian snow from scout is on Twitter claiming Memphis is a better job than uconn. What a clown. Guess who agrees with him?

They did this with Brian Gregory. The fanbase at Dayton celebrated when GT hired Gregory away.

 

[A10 fan]

I'm hearing that Memphis is going to go hard after Greg Marshall. If they landed him, the roster of coaches in the AAC would be eye opening.

 

[champs99and04]

He will be eaten alive in the ACC. At least Stallings found a partner for the 12/13 game in the ACC Tournament.

I have to believe they forgot about UConn. That said Memphis is probably the second best job in the AAC and probably pretty close to UConn as a job, not close as a program though.

 

[caw]

Also some GT fans think if Pastner takes the job he will try and hire Sharman White as an assistant. I think White would be the better coach of the two.

They didn't forget. It was pointed out and they doubled down.

Edit:

To be clear they are talking solely about the job, not the program? I do think it is pretty close actually. I give UConn the advantage due to practice facility but I could see the argument for Memphis based on arena and recruiting area. It's actually pretty close when discussing the HC job which is more about money/recruiting/facilities and arena. I'd argue money and recruiting are pretty similar with UConn having a huge advantage in regards to practice facilities and Memphis using a better arena.

As programs UConn is way ahead. That is a record/history comparison.

 

[willie99]

does anyone else think a Memphis booster donated a large sum of money to Tech? maybe even paid off their AD?

Memphis is a very good job for all the reasons mentioned- Solid history, excellent facilities, strong alumni and university support, central recruiting area and NO academic restrictions on recruiting.

But you have to live in Tennessee.

I think Josh should stay in Memphis a much better fit...

A few years of college life in Memphis isn't the worst. Plenty of nightlife.

Mississippi and Arkansas are a short commute. I guess that doesn't help.

Not really. A strong Memphis program is good for UConn as long as they are in the AAC.

I liked beating them and Josh helped make that happen with his inability to coach. Good recruiter, not too good of a coach so good for GaTech I guess?
