Coach Tinkle

What are people's thought on the theory that coach Kennedy was brought in to mentor and bring coach Tinkle along so he can take over in a couple of years. The idea being that Holst was not going to move on to another program, and Tinkle was not going to stick around forever, and bringing in Kennedy he could learn more than he was getting from Holst. This is not a rumor, just a thought.

Obviously this has some problems, including the fact that tinkle was let go along wiht the rest of the coaches, but then agan he was brought back.

Let's hear what people think (say anything, we need to get some interest and excitement in this section of the board).

No, I don't think so. I think Kennedy will stay too long and permanently hurt the basketball program. Then Krysko and Tinkle and DeCuire will all try to restore its former glory for decades. Attendance will be less than 50% within 18 years.

:lol: :clap: Good prediction, GrizPony...except for the attendance, which was pretty dismal during the Kennedy years.
 
Funny to recycle this old thread, but one cannot blame Pat Kennedy for the current Griz program.

Torvik rankings currently give the Griz a 7% chance of winning the BSC--that's the fifth best percentage in the conference. Some would argue that the Griz should never be lower than 1-2 in this league.

Weber 38%
SUU 18%
UNC 15%
MSU 13%
UM 7%
PSU 5%
the rest are under 1%
