All I did was state factual numbers on the program's performance since 1983, and never said I accept mediocrity. Go back and read/comprehend my post before making an ill informed post that I accept mediocrity.

What does a minor amount matter? How about an I told you so? Or let’s wager something big, which should be easy for you right? Since you are so confident you are correct?

Interesting comments from the AD just 6 months before dismissal, wonder why he didn’t start talking about firing the coach in May? This coach had a massive buyout

How many years left does Marlin have under his current contract? I’d hate for the university to wait any longer to make a change but I understand finances may dictate that. Giving contract extensions before the current contract is up is something I have never been a big fan of. Get paid for what you have done not for what you may do in the future.

It is my opinion that after 11 seasons completed that he will have been given a complete do over and have 1 NCAA tourney trip and 1 title and the natives will be restless. I would love for him to prove me wrong but i don’t see it.

I don't bet.

Marlin is a good coach.

He is a good coach. A lot of good coaches don’t succeed. Coaching isn’t the only aspect of a successful program. Recruiting isn’t the only aspect, graduating players isn’t the only aspect. Several things go into a successful program. What i want to happen and what i think will happen arent the same thing.

We paid Hudspeth less than he was owed due to a provision that the one time payment was less than being paid on a per year basis. I think we paid around 500 m$ total. I bet that applies here. Comments from Maggard were before a game had been played in 2017. Of course he would say that. I also understand that he would not say anything different in regards to basketball at this stage. As far as betting something big, what does that mean? I can tell you 1000 dollars is too big for my taste as my confidence in being right is not that high. I do have confidence in 100 dollars. We can revisit this in 15 months.

I think he has three years after this one. Buyout gets reduced in every succeeding year. That is why no one is suggesting a change will be made after this season. Some believe a buyout will be affordable after the 2019-2020 season. There are a few predictions a change will be made then. If a losing season occurs next year I would agree with those people. A 20 win season against an average schedule at best followed by a loss in the conference semi finals is a scenario which has been common recently. What happens in April of 2020 if that occurs is what this debate centers on. Without the extension, he would have had only one year remaining following this season. A decision would have to have been made in March as it is rare for any administration to let their staff plan for the following year with only one year remaining. I would have been more than OK with waiting until then and I don't know why we did not let this season conclude to make a decision. There would likely be less controversy had that path been followed. Extension likely would have been granted but terms may have been slightly more in the school's favor depending upon how this season turns out.

You don’t sound too confident if you need to see the end results of 2 more seasons. Obviously i would change my prediction if marlins manages to accomplish things in the next 2 seasons. That’s where the prediction comes in.

That was me and that’s exactly how i see it, they both moved the program forward and got it out of the gutter. They both will he held on probably a little longer than normal because of the men they are and the relationships they have built and their character. That eventually runs its course.

I understand that viewpoint as this is a very minor issue in the big scheme of things. However, I did not think we were arguing. I see it more as a debate/discussion. I agree that Christmas being upon us is a time to appreciate each other and the reason why we will celebrate this coming Tuesday.

CajunCrazy said it, he was wrong.

Bustle's best (6 FB wins) is not in the same league as 27 MBB wins.

Reason I said two more seasons is because of a prediction we would change coaches in the spring of 2020. I was including this season in the "2" year figure.

You are right, bustle took over a way bigger dumpster fire with way less winning history, was never near the top of the conference in support or facilities and had tougher schedules...bustle might still be here if he made his own schedule.

Well predictions would become a little easier with the results in front of us. That’s not a very hard prediction. If he gets in the tourney or wins another title it would be pretty easy to predict he stays.

I am not predicting that. I am predicting he stays with a D1 winning season and reaching tournament semifinals in 2019-2020. That occurs again in 2021 and things may be different.

Is being mediocre your definition of good? Mediocre in a bottom tier conference? Marlin is an average coach. I guess you have to be considered good if you're mediocre, but not me. Good is winning your conference often. Great is also winning conference and deeper than the round of 64.

Mediocre coaches only keep their jobs if the university has decided that’s good enough. There’s plenty of those, I just never thought we would become that in basketball.
