Why doesn't Billy Kennedy just quit so A&M can hire a real coach?

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Cocks.

 

[Clayton]

I thought Mizzou cleaned up a lot of issues and were improving over the course of the season but they were just over performing. This team is going to live in the basement this year.

Legit comment.

reminder that Texas A&M was in the Sweet 16 last year and destroyed UNC in Charlotte.

Alabama up 3 on Tennessee at the under 8 timeout. John Petty is on fire.

What's your point?

 

[lilchi721]

If A&M doesn't win this game today than Billy Kennedy's job is in jeopardy cause they will have a hard time finding wins from here on out.

He has a third of your all time sweet 16 appearances. I'm not sure why you've been so insistent on firing him. I get they've been bad this year, but he's still been wildly successful for A&M standards.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Man...we've had some really heartbreaking losses this year

 

[Hitman Hart]

What's your point?

what do you think? Your school has been to the Sweet 16 in two of the past three seasons.

he was doing the same thing last year, too

No he has not
1.Billy Kennedy's conference winning percentage at A&M is .476 compare to his predecessor Mark Turgeon who had .576 in a tougher conference.
2. He won a share of the conference title in '16 b/c the conference was week cause only 3 teams got into the tournament that year.
3. He can't keep a true point guard on the roster and that's why we struggle every year cause of roster mismanagement.
4. The coaching staff for the past 8 years can't seem to prevent the team from making the same dumb mistakes.
5.Pre Kennedy A&M finished in conference under Gillespie 7, 4 and his final year at A&M 2, Turgeon era 6,T-4th,T-2nd and his last year 3 whereas if you look at Kennedy's finishes in conference standings 9 (Big 12).11,9,T-3rd,T-1st,T-9th,T-7th we have regressed.
7. Coach Kennedy is not a motivator and his teams are lazy and don't play with a sense of urgency.
8.Since '06 A&M made the NCAA tourney every year which was one of the few schools to do so until Kennedy ruined it.
9.His sweet sixteen teams were no shows against Oklahoma and Michigan.
10.A&M should not be a team to make the NCAA every other year.
11.SEC is no longer a weak conference although he wasn't good when the conference was weak.
12. The crowed will not support Aggie basketball if it's losing which majority of the time under Kennedy it has been very bad.
13. His first year at A&M he had a roster that was projected to win the Big 12 and ruined it by going 4-14 and 14-18 overall.
14. It's unacceptable to lose to SWAC teams, and to North Texas and Rice which Kennedy has lost to during his career.
15.Doesn't learn from his mistakes.
16. Makes excuses.
17.2/8 years Kennedy has made the dance at A&M compare that to Gillespie 2/3 seasons, Turgeon 4/4 seasons.

Face it it's been bad basketball under Kennedy

It's Texas A&M. He hasn't been as consistent as Turgeon, but Turgeon also never made it past the first weekend. He's also had some bad luck with losing guys early, that clearly shouldn't have left early, at least in terms of this particular season. I feel like you've been calling for him to be fired for like 4 years now. He's got a good class coming in, so now wouldn't be the time to get rid of him. Also, I'm not sure who realistically, A&M could get that is better?

Doesn't matter when you put up stinkers

if A&M fires Kennedy, the college hoops coaching fraternity is going shun that job and your AD

A&M made the post season every year under Turgeon compare that to Kennedy. I don't care whose coming in next year Aggie fans are tired of losing under the watch of Kennedy. A&M can go and get Buzz Williams, Eric Musselman, Bob Huggins anybody they want since we got money.

I doubt that

Yes, I agree. And Turgeon is a better coach, which is why he left A&M. Just like Gillespie. They left for better jobs, because it's A&M.

And no you aren't getting any of those guys. I seriously can't remember the last time A&M got a coach from what is considered a power league.
