[razorhead94]

Dean smith would have won 20 by now

[The Original 69]

Wow just wow. Dumbest thread today.

[Jek Tono Porkins]

Nolan is gone.
Shut the hell up, enjoy the win and be glad we're on the top of the SEC West.

He already has another year. Move on.

[Blue35]

Who is this Nolan that you speak of?

[The_Boot_stops_here]

get over it

[QuadHog]

Pel wouldve too,if the team had been together from day one.

[thirtythree]

These are the people that w all speak of when it comes to being a fan or not.

[TuckFexas]

Now is not the time to bitch. STFU or GTFO. AYSM?

[SolarHog]

New guy here....not sure how many post I'll do since I had to type a 100 word esssay to get this on....just wandering if the OP's other 552 post were this dumb?
Oh jezz!! while I was typing a new reply has posted...I may want to review before I post? The way I type I may never get a post on here........now 3 new replys OMG!... stay tuned..I may get to comment on how proud I am that Mallet went No 1 in the draft.....

[jdevers]

Pel would have probably won 17 or so...but of course most of those losses we didn't HAVE the team we have now...we were missing the most important piece of the puzzle until conference play.

[Wild Bill Hog]

NR wouldn't have had this team.  It took some recruiting effort to get several of these players.

[twistitup]

Considering the suspension of Fortson for 14 games and seeing how much he means to the team....I don't think any coach would have done much better.

Coaches can't play and without Fortson there just simply is not enough talent to win big.

There was more than one year that the Hogs with Nolan and Mike on the same coaching staff did not make it to the NCAA tournament.

As much regard as I have for Nolan,a truer post hasnt been posted.If that karma thing wasnt so gay,I would +1 you.WTH,I will anyway....

[ttownhog00]

Nolan Ryan? What does he have to do with our basketball team?

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

or does pelphrey get another year?

[Hot_Town_Hog]

Very few would listen, but this is an NCAAT team with everyone playing.

Pel could have won 20, but "this" team was not complete with Fortson on the sidelines. Of course, you know that and are just trying to stir the pot.

[Farrestor]

sad thread... and i'm sadder for reading it

[omahawg#17]

Too bad Nolan is coaching girls basketball now, huh, gene? You're an idiot. John Pelphrey has always had my support. I just didn't complain when times were tough because the situation our program was/is in takes time to bring it back to what it once was, we're making great progess, and actually winning now. I know that what im telling you is hard for you to wrap your brain around, so thats why you ended up making a childish thread. WPS bitch

[JONAS]

I love Coach Richardson, but I do not believe they would have won 20 games by now if he were coaching this team.  I do think that if Fortson had not been suspended, we would have won at least 4 more.  That would put our record at 16-7.

[hawgsav1]

While I am still on the fence when it comes to John Pelphrey, I do agree with the original poster's statement.  Nevertheless, while I would have loved for Nolan to finish out his career here, I do accept that it would be difficult for him to come back, and most likely will never happen.  If John Pelphrey fails, by all means, go for Mike Anderson.  However, Pelphrey has not buried himself yet.  If he manages to do well with this year's team, then he has certainly earned another year or two.

There was more than one year that the Hogs with Nolan and Mike on the same coaching staff did not make it to the NCAA tournament.

Also more than one year that the Hogs with Nolan and Mike went to the
finals of the Ncaa tournament. Or did you forget while trying to make your
point.

Hey stupid!  Go away!  Think before you post.

Nolan would not.  He would ask for his money if the administration didn't like his results.

Actually it was 3 times in 11 years.  This is Pel's 3rd year. 

[M L (bassplayer)]

If only Gene Hackman could be our coach.
WTH?

[pigture perfect]

Nolan had stopped caring about basketball except for the fact that it gave him a forum into activism. If he cared about basketball as much as he did at the first, maybe. The reason he hasn't gotten back in to coaching until now is that he loves to play the victim. It became hard to do that when you're one of the winningest coaches in history.
