Tubby Has Got to Go (Link)

[CatDaddy]

Enough is enough.

It’s time to flat out tell it like it is.

Like it or not, the simple fact is Orlando “Tubby” Smith has got to go, and he’s got to go at the end of another disappointing season.

Or, instead of calling this year another disappointing season, you can just refer to it as yet another choke job by the UK coaching staff, because that’s what this season has been.

There’s an old sports cliché that says you’re only as good as your last game.

If that’s the case, then this year’s UK hoops team is downright terrible, and an embarrassment to the Commonwealth.

The UK program is no longer the top dog in the SEC, and that decline has happened on Tubby’s watch, therefore, he’s ultimately responsible.

Schools like Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, and now even Vandy, has passed us by.

And, it’s got to stop before it’s too late.

If Tubby remains at the helm past this season, it’s only a matter of time until North Carolina passes UK as the all-time winningest program in the nation.

Is it just me, or does anyone else out there think that’s a crying shame?

There needs to be a change, and soon.

WOW!!! If he has been on FireTubbysmith.com he might be quoting alot of what we talk about.

The bad thing about this is you can't argue any of the facts. You can, but you would just look foolish.

I just don't like talking about it until the season is over and our recruiting class is complete..then I think that any opinion is valid.

The problem is, he is making no new arguments here. They have been around since 2000.

I read the article and there were things that I agreed with and things that I disagreed with. He said he doesn't think Tubby can coach a lick. Really? Whether or not you think that Tubby is getting it done at UK now, I don't see how anyone could say he "can't coach a lick" and be taken seriously. I have long wondered if Tubby was the right man for UK, but I've always known he is a very good coach. Also, the article wasn't written very well. IMO I read stuff on here from FBB or B2DB and this article seems quite amatuer.

now that the Media is starting to talk about it..... it may be inevitable for Tubby

Do you mean no new argument here ( at this site ) or here ( as in the firetubby site )

What I mean is, he is making the same arguments we have all been hearing and/or making since 2000, the only difference being "we haven't been to a final for in _________ years. Obviously, that has gone up every year since 1998.

10-4. That debate will always be one the oldest.
