Shaka Smart

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

what's your beef against Shaka Smart?

I have no personal beef, but I do use my extreme powers of observation to suspect he's a massive buffoon.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Texas isn't a good fit for him at all.

 

[ralphiewvu]

I hate that he doesn’t keep his suit coat on when he coaches.

 

[theboardref]

Has been pretty mediocre at Texas so far. Was a really hot coaching name just four years ago.

Meanwhile, his predecessor is lighting it up at Tennessee

Not to mention Wade is doing great things at LSU right now. Smart led VCU to the Final 4 if I’m not mistaken. Ever since he took the Texas job I haven’t heard a ton from him. The Longhorns are usually pretty good but not Final 4 good.

fwiw, the only years where VCU finished in the top 30 were with Smart as the HC.

it's become clear with the success Wade and Rhoades are having at their respective jobs that Smart's staff at VCU was loaded with coaching talent

 

[ralphiewvu]

He is going to need a few W’s in the B12 tourney to get a bid. They open with Kansas. Not impossible but not ideal.

looking like another mediocre year

Gotta say, it's interesting as a UConn fan.

The rumor was that was the job he wanted. But Calhoun's move forcing them to take Ollie for at least a year delayed any options.

But Ollie delivered a title and then fell off a cliff. Smart might've been more mediocre, but arguably no banner. But maybe a shorter rebuild to the next title.

Baffling how the trainwreck of Ollie might've been the better hire.

and lulz in the comments section of every "Shaka Smart not looking too good @ Texas" tweet is some dummy popping off about how Shaka is going to be the next coach @ Wake Forest

nah, not happenin'

Shaka's floor would have been much higher, but i doubt he delivers UConn a title like Ollie did

Exactly.

UConn isn't the trainwreck it is....but banners fly forever.

shh, don't tell Louisville's 2013 team that

Heard his buyout was at 10.5 million but yeah he needs to go.

 

[ralphiewvu]

I’m enjoying Shaka at Texas.

But I was honestly shocked he left his run at VCU for Austin. Has tons of potential but this isn’t football.

He's not white?

No we fired him

Rod hates white people

just look how he talks about Freddie Freeman

it's disgusting

lost by 29 points to Iowa State today

Texas is 14-11

Shaka Smart's failure at Texas has become so pronounced that i would be uncomfortable if Wake hired him

 

[GoldRusher]

Texas had about 137 people in the stands for this evenings game vs TCU.

Really thought he'd do better at Texas but... not to be I guess.

Hope they hire Beilein, make the Big12 better and add some spice to WVU v Texas.
