Fair question my good man. I was just going by what the Kentucky fan said.

It's ok if the guys doing the work and sweating are black, but some want the guy giving orders to be white.

Well Memphis has the capability to be a basketball powerhouse every year. With the right coach.

Tubby could do very somewhere else, but, at his age, why not take the money and retire to a very comfortable life?

The thing is... at Memphis, you aren't going to get the good recruits running a careful and cautious program. I'm not just talking about the kickbacks... I'm talking about the style.

Memphis is very much go big or stay at home when it comes to basketball.

Honestly, his teams scored out of every time out situation when they had the ball. It was like magic.

Shame on Tiger High for the way this played out. Those fans make Kentucky basketball fans look reasonable. They think they’re blue bloods

theres still a lot of closet racist out there who never accepted Tubby in the first place but he was a great coach.

Because they don't mind slaves on the plantation but they don't want someone with dark skin in a leadership role. Kinda like how people used to stereotype quarterbacks. If you don't believe there were fans that never bought in on Tubby just because he was black then you live in a fantasy world.

It’s the same sort of people who thank Melania for “bringing class and dignity back to the White House” even though her husband likely cheated on her with a porn star while she was tending to their newborn son. People only see what they want to see

Saying a fan base has a lot of closeted racist sounds an awful lot like I can’t handle criticism so play the race card. Standard response in today’s age to just blame racism for everything that negatively harms you because it’s an easy excuse.

Also here's a little known and almost always overlooked series of facts:

Tubby was never fired from UK... he went behind their back and got on at Minnesota... where he was then fired.

Then he got on at Texas Tech and went behind their back and worked a deal to get on at Memphis where he was just fired.

Guy deserves everything he gets except the millions of dollars and idgaf what color his skin is.

Careful Kentucky fan, you can’t critisize that guy or you’ll have to come out of the closet as a racist.
