Texasgrip Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Mark Adams may be headed out the door, possibly a casualty of the current "woke" America culture. I can't speak to his intent (or well-intended use) of Biblical scripture to encourage his players, but the "inappropriate, unacceptable, and racially insensitive comment" accusation comes from a position of ignorance...as usual. Still, probably not a great idea to quote verses about slaves/masters in that setting. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35791167/texas-tech-coach-suspended-racially-insensitive-comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how comments like that become critical when you're an AD looking for ANY excuse to fire a struggling coach "for cause" to avoid paying-out on his contract. Will Texas-native Paul Mills make their short list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle88 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Texas Tech is and should be on the suicide watch list. From what they did to Mike Leach and now this coach is inexcusable and will most likely negatively impact their program. They may want Mills but would he even consider them after this incident? I predict not. Go woke and go broke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORU40 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I wouldn't be dismissive of this development, it's a $2mil per year Big 12 coaching opportunity, that plays no games in the Dakota's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s lots of money for a sub-par DI Texas program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conditional (from the article): "If Adams were to be fired without cause, he would be owed 60% of what is remaining on his contract: more than $7 million." See @Old Titan's comment above...

Old Titan Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 They could also go after Grant McCasland at North Texas. No truth to the rumor Tulsa has already e-mailed Eric Konkol's resume anonymously... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just built a $32 million basketball facility a couple of years ago. $$ is not their problem. Whomever is their new coach is he will want the 5 years at $3 million per year that Adams just got last spring. They will have no problem at all with that.
