When you have a contract structured such as Fran's there is no reason to leave. Not to mention, he has Barta's full support at this point. And quite honestly, if Barta's still around, not sure how hot the seat will be if they struggle next year. It will no doubt be hotter but would Barta be willing to pull the trigger on a firing? Meh, not sure I see that but....

If anything were to happen in that situation, it would probably have to start by firing Gary. Buyout Barta is never going to fire Fran.

People will say we shouldn't take chances on another mid-major coach, but I wouldn't have any qualms with hiring Forbes.

If you can be both a major publishing mogul and know a lot about basketball, I mean, who could fault us for that hire? Clearly he's smart

I think the fact that he was on the Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Wichita State staffs, 3 really good programs, really helps. He's been around big time basketball in the SEC and Big 12.

Jon wrote about him 8 years ago when we were looking for Lick's replacement.

You act like you don't remember that his name was floated around for the HC job back then.
Mine too. He's going to be successful wherever he goes and he actually gets transfers.

He’s a mid major coach, but he’s recruited the best of the best at Tennessee. He understands the caliber of player it takes to win at a power 5.
