Looks like he will be given another year.

Although with changes on the staff (yeah, that'll really work). Like I said earlier, we'll have a lame duck coach next year who will continue to drive our program into the depths of the abyss making it even harder for the next guy to rebuild.

This speaks volumes for Stricklin IMO. For those of you who were hoping he'd be Byrne clone, you're going to be disappointed. I'd venture to say he probably lies in the middle when comparing Byrne/LT, which still isn't very comforting.

What is it about Mississippians (emphasis MSU fans) that make it so hard for them to accept change? There's a reason our State is last in so many categories and it all starts with an unwillingness to adapt and be proactive.

This will be the Croomsituationv2.0. This will go on a year too long because no one is comfortable firing orretiring. Stans' lame duck term will be painful and the administration's indecisiveness willultimatelyhurt the program. Good thing is he knows and we know what the upcoming season means in to the program moving forward.

Can we keep hope alive or is all lost?

I also don't think he gets another two years on his contract, so after next year his buyout will be cheaper. Scott has no backbone, and it is obvious that he is just a puppet for a few big donors. This Cigar Boys Part 2....

trying to change history (get liberal stuff out of history books) and stricter abortion rules on the one clinic in Ms. It's a sad day when a coach with TWO first team SEC players is a number 17ing four in the NIT. If grasshopper doesn't get rid of him, he should be on the fan hotlist.

"be careful what you ask for". Their position it is a crap shoot that you can find a better recruiter than Stansbury and he has won for us. I am officially ambivalent at this<div>point.</div>

There's no real reason we should necessarily do any better than LSU, Auburn and Georgia have done with their recent hires. But I'm to the point that if we're not going to be making the NCAA, I'd rather miss out on the NIT too thanhave the team be anational embarrassment to our school. And yes, when the national media is always harping on how we have the most dysfunctional underachieving basketball program in the country, it is a national embarrassment.
