Should A&M fire Billy Kennedy now?

We gave him 4 years and nobody in Aggieland is excited to play in the NIT especially when we had a shot to get to the NCAA's this year if we would have not blown leads against teams we were supposed to beat recently and other stuff. I know he's got a good recruiting class coming in next year and some fear we may lose these recruits but to me even with a new coach I don't think we will lose recruits since going back to Watkins firing A&M still has kept their recruiting classes together.

I definitely wouldn't fire him. A&M returns their top 3 scorers, 5 of their top 7 players, and have their best recruiting class coming in, in the program's history. I think he had them play to about what their capability was. They were nothing more than a bubble team at the start of the year, and that's how they ended.

Depending on who leaves at Kentucky, I think they could win the SEC next year.

Dude's got Parkinsons so I would give him some slack. He's a solid coach. They'll be better next season. But so will LSU and Florida. Of course Kentucky will be there.

I always say you need to give a guy 4-5 years, so 1 more year wouldn't be out of the question. Looking at the roster, seeing what is coming back, plus what is coming in...1 more year. If he can't win with the team he'll have next year, then you can make a move.

UK will be very interesting to watch next year. They could easily lose 6-7-8 guys. Florida should rebound, but the SEC will still be 'down'.

The radio people are comparing him to Mike Sherman

I agree, give the guy another year or another chance.

Of course if A&M fires him A&M would pay him $750,000 through May 16,2016.
