If I was a Cincy or WSU fan, then I can see the appeal of keeping the Tigers mired in mediocrity. However, a powerful Memphis is in the best interest of the conference in the long run.

I honestly think Tubby is a better choice at COACH than Penny. So I am more afraid of mediocrity with an unproven coach. So for me I would rather you keep Tubby unless you go grab an upgrade in a proven D1 coach.

Now I understand this is money and fan driven. But if I am talking pure wins and better coach. I think Tubby > Penny.

I think the best solution for Memphis before all this crap started would have been to convince Penny to join the staff as HC in waiting. Recruit and learn the ins and outs of D1 coaching including NCAA compliance from Tubby for a couple of years. Then Tubby retires or moves on and you have a smooth transition with a better prepared Penny.
