People rip that guy on here but he obviously is an excellent coach. I love his confidence and fire. That game was 30-30 H.
Who rips him here?
I remember people not being happy when we were undefeated and ranked #1 in 2014 and ESPN had him in the studio anticipating a Pitt win [spoiled by Ennis's last second heroics].
I don't remember who but a few posters have definitely labeled him as a douche type because of his perceived arrogance. For the homers maybe that's all it took. A Pitt W prediciton from him.
He was actively cheering for us to lose. I've never seen a situation like that. Loved watching his team lose to Kentucky that year.
Regardless, he's a very good coach that built a very good program.
Also he was on national TV trying to diminish our accomplishments. It was totally unprofessional. Think about any time you have seen that. Also consider how unseemly it is for an upstart relatively obscure coach to go on national TV to takes shots and tear down a 24-0 and #1 ranked perennial power program coached by a hall of famer. Just to agree to that scenario and then play it out showed him as douche level 12.7 on my scale.
that guy can coach.
Vandy gave their critics plenty of ammunition. They did not look like a tournament team.
Hard to forget his presser quote about "Wolves do not fret over the opinions of sheep."Also he was on national TV trying to diminish our accomplishments. It was totally unprofessional.

what critics? They all were bashing Cuse and Tulsa
He's an ass. I don't care if he can coach. Coaching is a large fraternity. You might not like everyone but you either say something nice or nothing at all.
