    Final 3 down to Final two- Davis or KFP

    err, I forget, how much has Indiana accomplished pre-Knight. Oh, that would be nothing for 20 years. Indiana was no powerhouse from the late 50's to the Knight years, and had not mattered much since their Championship in 1953. Then Knight comes in , wins 3 National Titles, which is only 1 less...

    Final 3 down to Final two- Davis or KFP

    MD's is sort of middle of the pack, and his record is simlar to RS. Since RS got 14 years, have we learned enough from that to only give MD ~5?

    Final 3 down to Final two- Davis or KFP

    Well, if you look at numbers that is at best a lateral move. 5-12 in making the NCAA Tourney Versus 6-14. <div> </div><div>Give those choices I would take the "potential" of Payne, over the experience of David in a heartbeat.</div>

    Well Coach.........

    <div> </div>Well, honestly without the right breaks (The Baylor disaster), even Stansbury would be hard pressed to meet or exceed Stans' physical numbers. Shoot in terms of actual accomplishment (versus pure numerical accomplishment) Stansbury never met or exceeded Richard Williams. (Please note...

    Well Coach.........

    Yes, I missed the difference in numbers, I apologize having done the research in the past I counted and confused Alabama numbers and Mississippi numbers. It's still wrong to say Mississippi is the smallest state.<div></div><div><div> </div><div>My error was in the difference between the two...

    Well Coach.........

    Err, according to the census Mississippi has about 1 Million more people than Arkansas. <div> </div><div>Mind you the competition (due to UM and USM) is higher, but if you are going to play the "poor me" card at least get it right.</div>

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    You do know that Pelphrey was near the bottom of Arkansas' original list right? And Dana Altman was not their first choice either. Pelphrey had one good season and his Kentucky pedigree before Arkansas. In his second season he had several NCAA secondary violations, the worst was one he was...

    Is Sidney now officially the biggest bust in MSU history?

    No way fish, David was first injured, and then got so deep in Felker's doghouse he couldn't make his way back up. A bust has to have a decent chance too succeed and fail miserably. So Fair doesn't qualify. <div> </div><div>Bubba Wilson on the other hand, while he did have an injury, he never in...

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    Kenny Payne is 46. That's awfully old to be bucking for your first head coach position. If we are going Assistant coach route Chris Collins looks way more attractive. He's 37, and has been very active at Duke as the recuiter, both he and his Dad have a rep for being evenhanded but firm on the...

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    I beg to differ. I believe we needed to change directions, but there are so many bad coaches to choose from in the SEC that RS would have clearly landed in the middle of the pack. <div> </div><div> </div>

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    Well and to be honest, had Croom been a little more focused on getting quality assistants instead of the appearance of rewarding friends, we might have never been in the position to need to have to find a coach. Not knocking Coach Mullen, but I believe that was how close Croom was to being a...

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    Hi Pat, <div> </div><div>Not trying to burst your bubble here, but programs left hosed from a personnel and discipline standpoint like we have had the past two years have ended up with very bad coaches.</div><div> </div><div>Consider Arkansas. After Stan Heath had recruited Gary Ervin over...

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    Come on now, it's not like the bar was particularly high. Claiming to the "win-ingest" coach at all time at MSU is somewhat akin to claiming to be the all-time passing leader for Nebraska under the Tom Osbourne years. And it should be noted that when MSU hired their all time winner, it was whne...

    So if it's someone that we haven't really talked about..,

    Oh my, this would be a clear step down. If you want an Arkansas re-tread, then Stan Heath is a far better choice. <div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; font-family: sans-serif; "><table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 12px; margin-top...
