Maybe he won't work out for A&M, but it's honestly WAY too early to tell. He hasn't even finished his second season, yet you're acting like you know he's a terrible coach. He may well prove to be one in time, but give me a break.

It's not "way too early to tell".

Final year of Watkins: 7-21 (0-17)
First year of Gillispie: 21-10 (8-8)

Net change: +14 (+8)

Final year of Gillispie: 27-7 (13-3)
First year of Turgeon: 25-11 (8-8)

Net change: -2 (-5)

Final year of Turgeon: 24-9 (10-6)
First year of Kennedy: 14-18 (4-14)

Net change: -10 (-6)

Kennedy still has to win 1 more conference game this season to reach the mark in conference wins that Gillispie and Turgeon AVERAGED. (he has 9 total conference wins in 2 seasons, they averaged 10-11 a season)

Losses to Pomeroy 100+

Gillispie/Turgeon = 0
Kennedy = 7

Nonconference home losses

Gillispie/Turgeon = 1 (that includes games against Arizona, St. Louis, LSU, and the one loss was in the NIT against St. Joe's)
Kennedy = 2 (Rice and Southern)

Basketball isn't played in a vacuum. Each situation and squad that each coach inherited was different.

Again... He hasn't even finished his second season. It's too early. If you fire a coach two years into a rebuilding project, you're setting a pretty scary precedent. He may not amount to much, but you have to give him a third year. A&M isn't exactly the school that can afford to fire a coach after two seasons and still expect coaches to want to coach there.
