I swear to god I am done with Mississippi State basketball if we hire Davis. I live in Birminghamand watched him suck the life out of the only sport UAB gets excited about.AgDawg said:If Davis gets hired I will simply just forget about Mississippi State basketball. Thats Croom 2.0 if there ever was such a thing. If its so bad you feel like you have to hire Davis then you need to walk down the office and tell Cunningham that its his show now and be done with it.</p>

err, I forget, how much has Indiana accomplished pre-Knight. Oh, that would be nothing for 20 years. Indiana was no powerhouse from the late 50's to the Knight years, and had not mattered much since their Championship in 1953. Then Knight comes in , wins 3 National Titles, which is only 1 less than the number of times in 29 years he missed the NCAA tourney. <div>00Dawg said:Davis has very little in common with Stansbury as a coach. Rick could recruit to small-town Starkville with very little basketball history. Davis couldn't recruit to basketball power Indiana.
He also is as exciting as oatmeal, and failed tomaintain eventhe UAB fanbase.
This would be a significant downgrade.</p>
Why does that come as a surprise to you?? In case you didn't know, Mississippi has a national reputation of being the most racist state, fattest state, most uneducated state, and poorest state. Starkville, the land of strip malls, doesn't have that much curb appeal either. I don't care what you think, location matters when it comes to a job and Mississippi is a terrible location for outsiders.DawgBot said:South Carolina...a program that has not won an NCAA Tournament game since 1973 managed to get Frank Martin.
We are maybe going to hire a coach that could not hack it at UAB or a guy that Calipari is trying to pawn off on us.
Can we get an AD for the big three and just let Stricklin stick to hiring for women's sports?
You have been calling for Stansbury's head for almost a decade and the only difference now is you are relying on the most dysfunctional program BS. The dysfunction is no longer here said:HD6 said:Because that wasn't your line in 2004, prior to those issues when you still wanted Stansbury fired.
I pointed out his flaws to the Apologists like you and others- I didnt call for his firing till 2009-2010

if you can get the base so fired up against one of the lasttwo candidates....the one you reallywant but not seeing a lot of support for externally otherwise will be more widelyaccepted....because that other guy didnt get it.....either one of them will suckDAWG61 said:Coach34 said:I think we end up with Davis because of his experience- but that's just a guess
to sway this board on liking Kenny Payne. No way possible Stricklin is dumb enough to even consider Mike Davis. Nice try Coach but I see right through it. Looks like a bunch haven't though so pretty damn smart on your part.
