Most likable rebel coach in history? Cutcliffe maybe? Kennedy has never bothered me like most of them.

I like him. He gives State credit where credit is due and burns State legitimately where there are problems. He is probably the only um coach to leave without being on record as openly cheating, nailing a hooker or having crosses burned in his yard, forcing him to leave (that we know of, at least).

Guess we didn’t bend our knees. Must have said that half a dozen times.

Seriously though he’s entertaining as an announcer.

I hear he is not a good back seat driver and he has trouble pleasing his wife.

I don't like him and never will, from when he was being recruited. I'll be glad when he gets a job coaching at Savannah State and falls off the face of the earth.

I've mentioned before here that Andy and I are distantly related (we've not met-- but our fathers have-- genealogical stuff) so he's tolerable. I used to joke before Ole Miss won a SEC tournament title a few years ago that he wasn't the most successful basketball coach I'm related to (another cousin coached multiple state championship teams).

he referred to some loud boisterous fan behind them last night several times. Even thought the guy was hollering at him.

"Waterbug, waterbug, waterbug..."

He's obnoxious and not a good announcer. Has decent insight about players/coaches/etc...but as a LIVE tv sports announcer, he should stay away from it. Especially rival schools.

He seems fairly impartial as a commentator but...

He did repeat that spiel about bending the knees and making a quite a few times & presented it every time as if it was the first time. Reminded me of an Alzheirmer's patient. As I recall the situation every time he said it was as we brought the ball across half court on offense. Must've been his 'trigger'.

My favorite thing he did was call out his underachieving, quitting, cheese eating-surrendering, millenialistic drama queen black bear shark players on his way out the door.

He also said one of the reasons he was on TV and not coaching was his inability to sign Q.

He nailed Croom's coffin shut.
We owned him in the Egg Bowl.
He was never really one of them.
He also did some other stuff more recently.

How the 17 did we miss this one?

I definitely had problems with Andy when he was coaching, but it was because I thought he was a good coach and he was coaching OM. He was run out in Oxford. And I can promise you this, when his talent leaves Oxford Kermit isn't gonna look like a home run hire anymore.
