Go Gophers!!

I agree, I think this is Tubby best chance to get out of Lubbock, he did a good job of turning chicken **** into chicken salad and needs to cash in. Memphis won't put up with his recruiting style so he will need some energetic recruiters to bring in talent. With the way he can coach defense, if he could bring in top 30 type classes I think he could do well there for the next 5-10 years before retiringI think this is a very fair assessment from Wolken.
I hope Tubby is offered and takes the Memphis job. Lot better chance for him to have success there than Lubbock.

Tubby Smith will be 65 in June. I have a hard time believing Memphis will go this route.
Saul will be ready in 5-7 years!
Saul and Beale Street would be a disaster
What kind of job is Memphis considered now? They've won just 2 tourney games in the past 7 seasons. I know it would be a step up from TT, but probably not like it would have been several years ago.
Would be a great move for Tubby. A lot of local talent and a lot easier to win consistently in the American than it ever will be in the XII.
Better job. Worse conference. But I guess I'd rather be top 3 in the AAC than fighting for 6th in the Big XXII.
Good for Tubby but this is one of the reasons I didn't mind his dismissal from Minnesota.
Right or wrong, it always seemed that he was perpetually auditioning for a "better" job. If he won bigger at Minnesota, he would have left for a "better" job as soon as he possibly could.
Pitino (and most coaches) may be the same but Tubby did a very poor job of hiding his interest in other programs.
I was all for dumping Tubby but hiring Tim Brewster 2.0 wasn't the U's finest hour.
