Mike Anderson Watch...

[N HOG]

Following road wins at Texass and Iowa State,

20-4 overall, 7-2 in conference play.

[mizzouman]

Won at Okie St as well, but we had bad losses at Nebraska and K-State.  Overall, however, very pleased so far.  3 conf road wins so far, not bad...

And, to reference Larry Johnson in his famous comment to Nolan -- you have some MENS.

Wish him well, but sickening at the the same time. To think we passed this guy over for Heath.

And Pel.

[Coondog Hog]

I love me some Mike Anderson

[Ouachihog]

Ok I'll say it...

The question is, would he ever come back?

[Table Rocker]

Pel won 20+ games last year with a veteran team too

[TuckerRay]

Would take Mike in a minute over present coach.

I want a chance to coach this team. And ill take two other people on this board with me. I bet we could beat auburn with the hogville coaching.

[N HOG]

Compare Mike's C-USA record to Pel's Sun Belt record and get back with me.

[Table Rocker]

Yes because how the coaches performed in the c-usa and sunbelt should determine which is a better d1/bcs conference coach- great logic.

Whats the beef with Mike A

[Table Rocker]

Nothing against mike A but I think its ridiculous to say we should've hired him before pel even finishes his 2nd season. How'd mizzou do last year?

[Coondog Hog]

I agree its too soon to boot Pel, but Mike would have had us together better than heath would have and we wouldnt have needed Pel. 

This year biggest problem is Inexperience(Coach and Players) and size.  Pel is not a lame duck yet this board is full of fickle fans that dont know the difference between their butt and a hole in the ground when it comes to coaching.

So how long do you stay with a bad coach?

[Table Rocker]

So you want to fire a coach after 2 seasons tucker? Yeah, coaches would come crawling to come to a place that will give them 2 years (and one year of their own recruits). Firing pel after this year would make us a bigger laughingstock than anything we do on the court.

So assuming you know more than the typical poster on here, you think this is a well-coached team?

Cosign firing Pell is not going to help this

[Coondog Hog]

I know enogh to know that this is Pels real first year with his players, do you remeber Nolans first couple of years or Eddies?  I'll hang up and listen.

So let's let him stink for five years then fire him.

[Hoggy Bear]

For Christ's sake people, we went to the tourney last year, won a tourney game which we never did under Heath, then lost the top 6 scorers and all the inside presence off the team last year.  There is gonna be a dropoff.  Yes, this year isn't going like I hoped it would, but is it unexpected?  I don't think so.

did i say that?

[Niels Boar]

K-State has won five in a row.  In fact, both K-State and Nebraska have moved a half game up on Texas to tie for fourth in the Big 12.  They are #68 and #69 in the RPI.  They would not be bad losses to the NCAATC at present.  I'm looking forward to the Missouri-Kansas matchup Monday night.

[N HOG]

I know enogh to know that this is Pels real first year with his players, do you remeber Nolans first couple of years or Eddies?  I'll hang up and listen.

Okay, I'll give it a shot:

Second year conference record:

Eddie -- 9-7
Nolan -- 8-8
Pel (so far) -- 1-7.

Are you still on the phone and listening?

Let's see in Mike Anderson's 1st season the mighty Tigers went 7-9 in the little 12 & 18-12 overall...2nd season had to be alot better right...WRONG...6-10 (little 12) & 16-16 overall.  How about if your going to be ignorant at least post this CRAP over there where you belong...On the Missouri board, im sure they could use some new fans

I'm having trouble linking it, but it's in the Arkansas basketball media guide:

Eddie Sutton conference record in 1975-76 -- 9-7

Nolan Richardson conference record in 1986-87 -- 8-8.

They didnt compete in the SEC though.   They played in a bad basketball conference

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Very glad Mike A. is doing well.  The problem isn't that we hired Pel over Mike A.  We didn't!

If we were going to hire Mike we would have had to fire Heath a year earlier.  Mike wouldn't have left Mizzou after a year.  He's just not that type of guy.  Also The relationship with Nolan was still very strained so there is still no guarantee that Mike would have left UAB to come here, possible, but I'm not sure if possible.

Could have kept Mike A after Nolan was gone.  If we would have done that, might have avoided the whole lawsuit thing altogehter, but we will never know.  Mike A may or may not have been successful.  The best thing Mike did was go to UAB build his rep on that level and then move up.

What Mike's situation at Mizzou is teaching us is that you might need to give a BBall coach at least 3 years.  He really didn't start to get things going there until this year.  He was taking them in a whole new direction with the fastest 40 minutes and it didn't happen over night.

[razorbackfan]

Forgot to add that Mike & the Mizzou Tigers failed to make a postseason tournament in the first 2 years

Uh....don't know if you noticed it or not, but we are 1-7.

[Table Rocker]

you didn't address his points.

why weren't you crowing for MA the last couple years on here? he gets 3 years but pel doesn't? makes a TON of sense.

[MF]

4 true freshman
2 redshirt freshman
1 sophomore
2 juniors

If you guys think a team consisting of that lineup is going to win in the SEC, well it shows why you think Mike Anderson should be our coach.

Okay. Give him three years -- fine with me.

There's always football, where we have an established, proven coach.

but, but, he went 5-7 last year!?!?!

his 41-9 was done mostly in the weak C-USA!!!!!

[N HOG]

Okay, you're right.

I think any reasonable person would look at the records and accomplishments of Pelphrey and Petrino and conclude they are about equal.

[mizzouman]

Dude, good one.  Give Pel a chance.  If there's no improvement next year, then you need to start to take a look. 

[Table Rocker]

Petrino's first season compares very much to pelphrey's second talent wise. Why don't you have the same patience with pel?

[N HOG]

but, but, he went 5-7 last year!?!?!

41-9

44-40

Roughly the same.

[Table Rocker]

I was mocking you.

[The Galloping Ghost]

Tuckerray,
Since you're so concerned with the program, and I'm sure you want what's best for it, let me give you some advice...gather all the pseudo-fans that think and talk like you together...road trip down to White Rock...scurry on up to look-out point...tie logging chains around your necks, and JUMP!!! That would be BEST, under the current conditions!!

[donewithdale]

Another weekly Coach A thread.  His butt was right there next to Nolan's recruiting and coaching while our program went to hell yet some of you want him back?  I guess this is the only semi-realistic option to Pel that many of you can come up with.

[N HOG]

I was mocking you.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Let me get this straight.

I noted that Pelphrey went 44-40 in the Sun Belt and you countered that Petrino went 41-9 in CUSA-Big East -- and that was mocking me.

You REALLY got me on that one. I'm totally embarrassed.

[Table Rocker]

You haven't answered my question about petrino's 5-7 vs. This years bball team. Petrino gets a pass his first year but pel doesn't in what is essentially his first year?

[Table Rocker]

By the way you don't need me to embarass you, your posts are doing the job just fine.

[N HOG]

You haven't answered my question about petrino's 5-7 vs. This years bball team. Petrino gets a pass his first year but pel doesn't in what is essentially his first year?

Okay, forget the records altogether.

If you can't see that Petrino is a proven coach and Pelphrey is not a proven coach, then I can't help you.

Nolan never quit recruiting, sanctions cut into our schollies and he refused to kiss the arse of some AAU pimps coaching a few good players.  He was starting to pull better players in his recruiting his last two years and has proved thus far to be the best thing the UofA has or ever will see as a basketball coach and 2nd isnt close.
