Should Coach Lee Be Fired?

_ That's exactly what I was thinking. If the University was to come out and "he's our guy for next season", that would emply that the thought was there to let him go. I'd be surprised to see them do that...They should at least put a fire under his ass and make it known publicly that his contract will not be renewed if next years results are _____e. (It would be an a** ho** move, but I'm just say'n). _

Decision may be made today with the public being informed tomorrow.

That would be totally unacceptable and I hope doesn't happen. UL will lose a lot of fans if they keep him another year, including me, for basketball. That would also be indicative of no changes over the previous administration and would be a morale killer for alumni and fans, not to mention the negative effect on recruiting.

These are the reasons why I would bet a good bit of money that he will be let go in the near future.

Should he be fired? Yes.
Will he be fired? No.

And with that, I move on and look forward to the 2009-2010 season.

You really think so?? I understand the economy is really bad, but wow. If we don't make a move we risk doing the same thing to basketball that was done to football a decade ago.

I think I agree which scares me...I'll looks forward to the 2010-2011 season because I will not watch a game next year.

I don't know what to think will happen. I know he needs to go, but on the other hand, this university gives me NO reason to believe that they will actually go through with this tough decision.

Will believe it when I see it!!

The sad thing is that we are even having this discussion. Whats even sadder than that is that we are part of an thletic dept with the second highest student body enrollment in the state and we cant afford to buy one year of a coaches contract. To me that is unexceptable. Until we can afford to run an athletic dept, we will continue to be mediocre athletic dept. I see this as a domino effect throughout the entire athletic dept.

Unfortunately, this will be the case for the most part because we are hampered by the lack of state funds provided. We cannot buy coach Lee out with funds appropriated through the state meaning his buyout along with Errol Rodgers buyout would have to come through private funding. So for everyone out there that continues to bang on the administration, it is actually going to come down to how many of us put up and shut up about the administrations lack of guts in such matters.
