Kids clearly love the man, think a 6-12 finish in a rebuilding year should be commended.


I’m rooting for him

He's out. But they aren't in a hurry.

I don't think there is enough motivation from the people in charge...
If Billy Donovan was canned by OKC I see making the move.
No other coach is worth the buyout.
Mainly because aggy historically has been a horrible to average basketball program. These last few years have been their best run in history.

Why buy him out?
Buzz Williams coached at a historically strong program at Marquette.
Va Tech is a flash in the pan. They are a Sweet 16 every few years team under Buzz Williams.
Why buy him out for a similar product?


Haven't heard one reputable A&M person say Kennedy is out.
It is only certain parts of their message board fanbase.

Kennedy is not worth EXTENDING (which would have to happen if he is retained with only 2 seasons left).

He still has a chance to finish with a worse record in year 8 overall than he had in year 1 (he has 11 wins so far and had 14 in 2011-2012). Remaining games are Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, LSU and Arkansas.

The only win out of that group is Vanderbilt, leaving him with a record of 12-18 (5-13) at the end of the regular season and likely 12-19 after the SEC Tournament.

This is like hiring bball coaches from Murray State, or Houston for football coaches. You're probably being sold a bill of goods.

SEC coach of the year from two years ago, who has won the SEC and taken A&M to two sweet 16s.

The buyout is only two million after like May 5th.

At least get the basic stuff right, man. We are already at 4 conference wins. Vandy would be 5. We might get some more. (Don't get me wrong. I suspect Billy is gone regardless. If I'm wrong, I'll still support him.)

Going after Kermit Davis would be a very Texas A&M thing to do.

Kermit Davis


Last time ol Kermit was here the entire athletic program almost got the death penalty.

No thanks. Been there, done that. Keep Kermit where he is...that school will be on probation soon.
