    Rodney Terry must be given a fair shot.

    We don't know that yet.

    We haven't been to the Sweet 16 in seemingly ages. If Terry can get us there (or beyond), that sounds like a pretty good answer.

    Correct on the tournament issue. Shaka just never got over the hump and not sure why. Beard was headed there this year until he fubar'd. Terry is a career 500 or less coach. Texas deserves much better. We tried the experiment with charlie strong & binder boy. Not even sure Sark is the answer but he is at least not a buffoon! We need a legit, deep in the tourney coach and Terry has never been that. Some may wish for that but it doesnt make it so. Texas is loaded with talent but that kstate game should concern everyone.

    We'll see in March (and hopefully in April).
    Until then, we don't know.
    And we had better give Rodney Terry a fair shot!

    Devil's advocate here. Why? If Terry was the answer, why wasn't he already the head coach?

    I get what you are saying, just curious.

    Before this incident, there was no reason to dump Beard. Beard was an exceptional recruiter and a good game-day coach until all this happened.

    As for Terry, he was a really good assistant under Barnes. As a head coach at some mid-majors like UTEP, Fresno, and UNCW, he did above average, but nothing exceptional. Now Terry gets his big chance on a huge stage. He's been dropped into action and he's going to be head coach until the end of the year. Does he make it, does he bust, ... I don't know yet...

    If he doesn't do much, then yeah, we should hire some hot shot coach after a nationwide search. If Terry pushes us far in the tourney (something that we haven't done for a long time), then why not stick with him?

    And we're entering the meat-grinder of conference play in one of the toughest conferences. We'll see how he does allright. Maybe he's got it. Maybe he doesn't.

    I get the feeling that, despite the large $$$$$ paid to a UT head BB coach, the best of the best won't be lining up around the block trying to get the position.

    Why:

    1. Football school (in theory at least...)
    2. Admin headaches greater than most places
    3. Alumni politics MUCH GREATER than most places

    Nobody get me wrong, if Terry stinks up the joint the rest of the year and/or in the tournament, then he should be sending his resume to places like Texas State, SFA, and Hardin Simmons at the end of the year.

    I was going to add Abilene Christian to that list, but, ummmm, welllll, you know....

    A&M manages to get good coaches, on paper, and it is a Meat Judging school.

    i bet cdc let’s Terry finish out the season but then we look elsewhere. Beard assembled the best pool of talent Terrys ever had access to. He’s a serviceable coach that could probably get us through 2 or 3 rounds of the tournament imo

    George Bailey No beans in my chili, thank you

    Give me Frank Martin. If for no other reasons, than to watch his sideline explosions and for him to scare the piss out of people.

    Can he recruit elite talent? I don't care what he does with Beards team this season.

    The team is not playing defense since Beard was suspended. It was not just K State but the last 5 or 6 games the opponents have shot 50% or better.
    That will not win many tourney games and most certainly will not get you into the sweet 16.

    if we do not get back to playing good D, we may not even make the tourney.
