Surprising resume I must say. I wonder if he could have lasted that long at Arkansas with those results?

[Atlhogfan1]

Stallings coached 1/2 of Vanderbilt's 14 NCAAT appearances with 2 of their 4 SW 16 appearances.  A reason why he stayed there so long.  He has done a good job based on the history of their program.

He shouldn't have.  7 NCAAT appearances in 17 seasons, 2 Sw16's and never past the Sw16.  Only 2 seasons out of 17 with single digit losses.  60% win percentage. 

When Stallings took over Vandy, the Hogs program had been to 24 NCAAT's, 6 Final 4's with a NC and at least as far as the SW16 10 times.  Even after this down period, our program's win % all time is 64%.  Ark basketball wasn't V basketball.  By V standards, Stallings did pretty well.

And only threatened to kill one player that we know of.

If he changed his name to Mike it wouldn't have to be that good!

[Inhogswetrust]

In that regard he's got a long way to go to catch up with Bob.

[husker71]

If he is fired they must already have somebody lined up because to me that is not a great job    a good job yes but the entry requirements I am guessing are tough

[HogBreath]

Wow...in year 5 for Stallings, he took Vandy to the sweet 16.

Well, we're going to Spain.

I cannot respect any coach that lets mike sanchez single-handedly beat his team on their home court.

Something about this thread title, combined with your avatar, makes me think of the French open.

Stats are for losers when their analysis is static.

If you look at these numbers in the static sense as was done in the quoted post, you would mistakenly believe that Vandy has always sucked. The problem with this theory is that until 1975, if you didn't win your conference automatic bid, you didn't get to go to the NCAA tournament. There were no at large bids.

There have only been at large bids for the past 40 years. Even then, there were 40 teams until 1980 with only 15 at large bids at the most during that time. In 1980, the tournament expanded to 48 teams until 1982. It would be 1985 before the tournament would take on it's modern form of at least 64 teams. That means that it has only been 30 years that the tournament had significant numbers of at large bids.

Prior to expansion, if you were in the SEC, you had to beat Kentucky out for the lone bid from your conference. Vandy could have been very good many times and had to stay at home. How would Arkansas have fared if the path to the tournament had meant you only got to go if you won the Conference tourney? We have won it ONCE.

Vandy has made the NCAA's 12 times since the field expanded to 64. They only managed 2 appearances prior to that because they played in the same league as Kentucky.

If you simply took the quoted post at face value, you would think Vandy has been an irrelevant program except for Stallings tenure. However, Vandy has made the field 40% of the time since the field expanded to 64. In 17 seasons, Stallings has made the tourney about 47% of the time. Prior to hiring Van Breda Koff, who Stallings replaced, Vandy was making the tournament 50% of the time.

The assertion that Stallings is out performing historical averages for Vandy is incorrect when you look at it with the ALL the information.

In fact, since 1980, Vandy has had 7 losing seasons. Stallings has 2 of those AND 2 .500 seasons. Stallings is almost dead on for all the Vandy numbers since the tournament expanded to 64 teams..............................NOT SURPASSING THEM

Stallings has only had SIX winning conference records in 17 years. Vandy had 5 winning conference records in the 13 seasons prior to Stallings. Again, pretty much dead on target for historical performance.

The notion that Stallings has done a "GOOD" job given Vandy's history is bunk. Vandy has had 4 coaches over the last 30 years. Arguments can be made for Stallings being as high as 1 on that list or as low 3..

BASED ON VANDY'S TRUE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE.
