Vandy fires Bryce Drew

[RoyKent]

Wow, Bama and now Vandy

 

[STL_Cat]

He was really awful there.

 

[RoyKent]

 

[akaukswoosh]

Wow, Bama and now Vandy

That was quick.

 

[HagginHall1999]

That is a promising career that went up in flames...tough break this year losing Garland but you cannot go 0-18 in league play...pathetic.

 

[Mr_GG]

Wow, Bama and now Vandy

Texas A&M too. Now if we can just add Arkansas to the list, I will be happy.

 

[MarvinHagler89]

Lol loser

 

[BBUK_anon]

A BCG comeback in the making??? Which team?

 

[UKWildcatT]

Truthfully, no excuse to go winless in conference play

 

[RoyKent]

This is odd -

 

[GonzoCat90]

It's like they didn't learn anything.

 

[RoyKent]

A++++++, hilarious!!

 

[katwest]

It's not surprising in today's game, even at Vandy in basketball you can't lose every league game. I didn't like Stalling's but he gave Kentucky fits every year and the Memorial magic was always a factor.

 

[thefolker]

Pitino to Vandy.

 

[UKWildcatT]

This is odd -

How is that even possible?!

 

[JordanJ21]

Lol

A++++++, hilarious!!

I live in Nashville and this is news. Vanderbilt is going to empty their pockets to sign coach Cal. The are also throwing in the Biltmore Mansion as a summer residence. Cal loves the honky tonks downtown. He wants to turn a program around. He says this all started when he was leaving Memphis and there was some thing about “The Door”. It made him want to be a ‘Dore.

 

[GoCats1998]

Must have been his excessive positivity

[TankedCat]

If Bryce Drew is surprised by this, then he doesn't need to be a coach at the college level.

 

[bbnkat02]

This is odd -

So Vandy’s AD has had the job less than two months, has never even met with Drew to set expectations, and just fired the guy.

Either the new AD is a boss from Hell or Drew has been found cheating or something.

I know if I’d been fired by a boss I’d never even had a meeting with Id be pretty ticked.

 

[poppycat]

Pitino to Vandy.

Avery, maybe? with Pel.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

I wouldn’t mind having Neismith and Shittu as transfers.

It depends on which school can make the best deal with a Pop Tart and a bourbon company(5% will have to figure in there somewhere.)

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Wojo to Vandy. :joy: Get it done.

Ike is out, at Vandy he will definitely have to participate in a spelling bee....

 

[John Henry]

None of us are surprised. Vandy was one of the worst teams in SEC history this season. Not one victory to brag about.

No you can’t

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

1st team in 65 years to go winless in Conference play.

[Cawood86_rivals]

Vandy or Bama should be calling the coach at UNCG imo.

He can spell loss for sure and hey music lover down at Arkansas you're next

 

[rick64]

A++++++, hilarious!!

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are that's funny right there.

 

[KYCAT78]

Will not surprise me to find out Vandy may have given extended benefits to a couple of players. Firing seems suspicious since this is first time AD met with Drew.

I think this is a mistake. Bryce Drew can coach basketball teams, we know this from his track record, this year excluded. My question surrounding him was, could he recruit at a high level? After seeing the class he got in, I saw a bright future for Vandy. With the Garland loss, and the needed adjustments that come with having elite players, I think he needed a little more time to get it pulled together. So now, they've lost a solid coach, and their recruiting progress will evaporate. If they'd given him another year they'd be ahead of where they are today after this firing.

 

[Cindog28]

[laughing]

"Drew reportedly had three years remaining on his six-year contract."

 

[Mr_GG]

Stallings's reaction

 

[bbnkat02]

And he had three years left? Vandy s AD better have some solid evidence of a murder or something because he’s not winning any popularity contests with their fan base right now. Just. Dang. What a way to start your tenure. He will either be one of greatest ADs in the nation or be a stellar pain in everyone’s butt.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I don’t understand why they are trying to assign him to a different position so he can’t leave. Why would they want to pay out the contract and pay another coach? Is the buyout that much?
