Should be fired.

No reason for the UTK Bruins to ever miss the tournament.

No. He is walking in to an awful, awful situation thanks to Cuonzo's recruiting.

There will be no pressure until year 3 in all likelihood.

Fire him immediately. Elite 8 every year or better or he should be fired.

You joke. But on the flip side of this coin, Ole Miss is entering year 9 of the Andy Kennedy era with one NCAA tournament appearance.

I think there's already a petition to fire their next coach... 20,000 signatures already

To be honest, there is very little risk in dumping Cuonzo. You can hire the worst coach in the world and still be more than competitive when you're competing in a league that employs guys like Billy Kennedy, Rick Ray, Johnny Jones, Frank Haith, etc.

Are you happy with Kennedy? Hell, Grant has taken Bama to the same number of NCAA appearances in half the amount of time and I'm pissed that Bama didn't fire Grant this year.

I heard they are hiring Cal away from Kentucky and Donovan is their plan B

That's only if Phil Jackson and Coach K turns them down first.

Holly Warlick will have them ready to go next year so I don't foresee a problem.

The fact is Cuonzo is leaving the school with a lesser roster than the one we had when he joined.

The next guy will be given time to clean up Zo's mess.

And more SEC tournament championships than Tennessee in that time period.

We're the worst program in the SEC. We don't have unrealistic expectations like some delusional programs.

We might have the worst roster in the SEC next year.
Josh Richardson will have to play all 5 positions…That is why Cuonzo sucked and had to go

It isn't Cuonzo's fault if the next HC doesn't know who to utilize the talent on the roster to achieve results.

Tennessee has good talent on their roster.
