a) Will he succeed or fail @ Cal

b) Who is up next?

c) I was actually hoping the Vols would schedule the Bears in football. Does this make it more probable or less probable with the Martin hire?

A) he will do moderately well @ Cal, if he gets five years I say he makes the tourney once but he won't ever be awful I don't think

B) I have no idea, if I had to guess that Doyle guy who was an assistant for us

C) played a home and home with them ~2006, I don't think it'll have much effect. I don't think our AD is to upset about losing him and they know that's how these things work

Inherits a very good roster. He will do well until he has to rely on his own players. They should be very good next year.

If he doesn't get out by year 3 he will eventually be fired. His staff is horrendous which really handcuffs his ability to get players.

Not hiring any coaches with ATL or Memphis ties was asinine and he is making the same mistake at Cal by not hiring any west coast guys.

I thought that was one of the downfalls of this upcoming team? Barren cupboard scenario like in football.

Who do we have coming back that can carry us? Didn't we just lose two highly regarded recruits? (I don't follow basketball too closely, so this isn't a, "What the frick are you talking about?" statement. Legitimate questions
