In consecutive years traditional SEC powerhouses in their respective sports have been rumored to be pursuing UofL coaches. Yet both have continued in their roles at UofL. Glad to continue the progress of UofL women’s basketball and men’s baseball.
Walz makes 2...
- Thread starter Knucklehank1
- Start date
Rumors of the demise of UofL athletics have been greatly overestimated
Walz staying ruined the “zipp” summer b**** tour.
LOL...luv me some Jeff Walz if that's your definition of "ruin".
And I esp. enjoyed the "we have a contract" recruiting pitch that his boss kept articulating. Words I'm sure to make Walz feel loved by "Vince" as well.
I gave your AD credit for retaining McDonnell--even though I was told he wasn't going anywhere. We faced a genuine threat with Mississippi State openly recruiting him.
The Tennessee threat was in the media and among talking heads evidently. If you spotted Phil Fulmer's plane in Clarksville, IN, let me know.
Can't wait for the next Jeff Walz Show at Chili's next Fall. That guy's worth the price of admission...
Happy to see the renewed enthusiasm! It’ll be fun to see if Jeff or Dan gets a championship first.
Zipp , maybe give it rest. I’m with you, I thought the world of our previous AD and coach. Like you, I’m not sold on our new yeekay/Bevin appointee. However, you seem like you want UofL to fail. We’re all Cardinal fans! Let’s celebrate the good, and put the past behind us! Remember, it’s us against the world. I admire you for fighting the good fight, but can’t we look to the future?
Go Cards!
Go Cards!
I'm not against anyone at U of L succeeding--and for sure not the institution--as long as it happens for the right reasons.
You shouldn't just hold your nose and write "Vince" a check if he's not the guy for you. Find the right guy, and support U of L with 100% commitment. Otherwise, we're just enablers.
That BTW is why "Vince" is having problems. Too many people have issues with him and his management...
I agree if people don't like the athletic plan and the execution of the plan they shouldn't write checks. We know they didn't like leaderships plan for Jurich and execution of that plan. Time will tell if Tyra will be successful---winning big in football and basketball will help.
You were jumping for joy earlier that Walz was going to leave and Tyra lost another coach. Now the the threat wasn't real cause Walz is staying. That is some serious mental gymnastics.
There is only one bigger Jurich fan than myself. I know this because of a certain someone that has his head planted firmly up TJ’s - - -.
However, I am now willing to open my eyes and admit many of the faults and mistakes that TJ had during his tenure. I’ve moved on, I’m a Cardinal first. I even think it’s fine to criticize our current AD, coaches, etc., just not everyday. A certain someone can’t do that, won’t do that. Had he been a follower of Jim Jones he’d have been first in line for the kool-aid.
This certain dude who shall remain unnamed (rhymes with “trip”) I liken to many loyal church goers. They jump churches to follow a preacher or priest, not the Lord.
You're not connecting dots again. No one knew where this was headed, whether Tennessee's overtures were going to be real and out in the open. They were not.
"Vince" gets no credit from me for fighting off fake threats. In fact, it's an indictment of his management that a coach like Walz is in play. Funny how that didn't happen in his first ten years as basketball coach.
And WTH kinda encouragement is "we have a contract"? That's a joke.
I don't predict most things I get credit for. I simply tell you what I'm observing and how that's gonna be viewed, as I did this time...
Damn Im glad we have you to point these things out. I’m not sure any of us are capable of doing that on our own. As far as we know Vince didn’t have to do anything, which by the way is what TJ would have done. So this was a big ole nothing. I’m not going to critique Vince on every word he says. Vince has done plenty of good, but he’s had miss steps too just like any AD or human. As I’ve said many times Ole Man Grissom is the pink elephant in the room. Until he’s gone I will have concerns. But Vince isn’t one of them.,
I'm not addressing everyone in this space with every one of my posts. If you're looking at "Vince" objectively, you have no arguments with me.
We have too many Kool Aid slurpers--like the OP--willing to assign ANY news as good news for "Vince". Those are the posters in my crosshairs...
No you are connecting your own dots. You said the TN overtures weren't in play, I can buy this was a social media created story. However, if that is true then TN was never in play, therefore Coach Walz was never in play. The last I checked there hasn't been a TN, UConn, Or Baylor job open up the last 10 years. Why would his name come up? It is obvious his name was tied to only the TN rumors which you said were just that rumors. I am confused how this is an indictment of his management.
Then you take one statement out of several statements and lose you mind over it. I agree there was nothing to win here or lose because he was never in play.
You’ve been nothing but anti-Tyra and anti-Mack since day 1. My goal has been to rebut your one-sided agenda driven narrative. It has been yeoman’s work but fortunately most on here have seen your silly agenda. If Tyra or Mack deserve criticism then I’ll give it out. However I’ll also let them do their jobs understanding the boulders they faced walking into the job. Your tacit refusal to admit that there were these huge obstacles isn’t because you are dumb, it’s because you obviously have some personal animus towards Mack and Tyra.
If Tenn wasn't really after him why have you spent the last couple of weeks complaining about how Tyra can't keep coaches and his best coach Walz was going to leave?
Perhaps then you should just delete your post “Walz makes 7....”. If it was a “fake threat” then Walz wasn’t “in-play”.
I don't recall Jeff saying he wasn't interested in the Tennessee job until the last day or two. Maybe you can find me a quote otherwise. He kept himself in play...
You're a new regime apologist, and you're always been one. "If Tyra or Mack deserve criticism" is a perfect example. Even I have criticized the former regime...
Maybe it's because in less than two years, EIGHT of his coaches--or about 40%--are either no longer in their jobs or at risk of leaving. Simple math. And that's the coaches we know about...
Actually, I could have said Walz makes 8 since McDonnell was in play previously as well. It's getting hard for even me to keep track...
Wow Zipp, talk about changing the narrative on your own posts…
This discussion started because you posted (prematurely) that Walz’s departure would make the 7th coaching change since Tyra took over. He didn’t leave, so the total is 6. Now you claim that since both he and McDonell were apparently “in play” at some time, that the real number is 8. You didn’t just change the goalpost, you’re trying to change the game.

Nothing has changed. "Would" and "if" don't equate to "will" and "when".
I understand English unlike the lightweights that troll me...
Ask the people who asked him that question. He evidently wasn't with Tennessee, maybe because "Vince" scared them off with his compelling statements...
Are you saying don't pay attention to non-denial denials? Where were you the last couple of weeks giving us that advice??
And find me a few coaches saying they're interested in other jobs while they're coaching in the postseason...
You can read between the lines all day long, but at in of the day it is only your opinion. Your opinion was formed by a rumor that fit your agenda.
Again, where were you with this sage "don't worry what Jeff says" advice the last week or so? I must have missed it.
The only people who evidently didn't have Walz in play were at Tennessee. And it takes two to dance. "Vince" was standing at the side of the dance floor hoping no one was going to dance with his hot girlfriend. That's how our department is managed nowadays--hope...
