How do you guys feel about Tanner
- Thread starter uscbrandon
- Start date
And Tanner was supposed to what about that? Promote an interim coach? Check. Start looking for a new head coach? Check. So what has Tanner done wrong in this situation?
In regards to losing to the Citadel do you really think Tanner wanted us to lose that game? Do you think Elliott wanted us to lose that game? I guess Tanner could've put on a football uniform and stood on the sidelines to make you feel better.
I've always wondered where your posting name came from and it dawned on me Summers was thrown out for Pot. Only a tater would put together a name like that and your posting history is very taterish.
which basketball team is not improving? Woman #2 in the country. Men look vastly improved. You might need a good eye doctor.

Several good responses in this thread you hatched here, both for and against your initial comments.
Where you is??

Dude, don't you know these guys on here already know how things are going to work out even before the first pitch is thrown. Dang, get with the program man!
You're wasting your time saying this. Nobody is listening. They have to have somebody to bash.
Work. But I feel others have made my point way better than I could and for that I am appreciative. Now, I will just sit back and wait for Tanner to screw up the deal with Smart. I hope you guys are prepared to be disappointed...Smart will announce he isn't interested soon.
You've figured me out! I'm so committed to my trolling that you can find me in club seats in section 109, row six.
Seriously, good work.
Actually they're all true. I think you mean irrelevant. That's also wrong.
Look, Ray could hit a homerun here. He could turn out to be a great AD. So far he seems as unsteady on his feet as a new born giraffe. Maybe we should've expected that since he's a coach, not an admistrator. But he owns the products on the field/court and the results so far speak for themselves. Hey, maybe frank does it this year. I hope so.
Whoa! You mean we have to use facts? That will cut out 90% of the stupid posts on here!!
That's not accepting losing. I don't know how you drew that conclusion. Bashing a coach or AD doesn't mean you want to win more.
Tanner has not been impressive.
The whole program got complacent and hired a baseball coach as ad and let spurrier drag us into the ground.
We did not handle success well.
Tanner cried at coaches press conference for crying out loud. Do you think Eric Hyman would've cried?
It all reeks of good ole boy backdoor deals that have blown up in our face.
We need to change our approach. Business world has changed but we have stayed put.
We deserve a top notch ad
People need to open up their eyes and realize that right now our entire program from the A.D. down is a joke

IH8FATBRAD is signing out. This stupid schit has done me in.
Well, he was a three-sport athlete in HS, as was SOS......
Was anyone honestly confused that "middle of the road" referred to the men's team as opposed to the women's team? I think that was quite obvious with a little deduction, was it not? But thanks for pointing it out, I guess.
Baseball barely even a sport?? That's just stupid!! It is one of the most difficult sports to play well. Has a very cerebral component to it. Probably why you don't understand it!!
Yeah, but look what Holderman was doing. The BOT had to have heard about that.
Basically he reasons for this beat down on Ray Tanner is we are 3-8, Clemson ranked #1 in the country, our depressed feelings over Clemson's success and our failure make him more open to attack from the fan base, we are very miserable right now waiting on a new coach, that every day we wait and every rumor that ends up being just that and doesn't come to USC makes Tanner an even less qualified AD in some peoples eyes. Tanner may or may not prove to be a good AD but to stone him now because of our hate for a rival success or for immediately not being able to hire one's favorite coach is just plain immature.
wow,you live in a different world than I do....you do realize we are the other usc correct? Holbrook has 2 top 5 classes in a row coming in....he will be fine....fm might have us dancing this year....wbb? nothing needs to be said here....equestrian? see last question.....soccer? ditto....we are 2 years removed from back to back top ten finishes...wanna blame anybody for that you have to look at our former hall of fame coach...who I personally am grateful that he made this a destination job...you should probably sit out for a spell
I will always have a ton of Respect for Ray Tanner, he brought us 2 National Championships back to back. He has really helped Carolina with improvements to our Facilities. Look at Our Football Stadium now and where it was. Look at the new indoor practice facility. I think the man is doing a great job, Just because one man has decided that he didn't want to come to The USC everybody decides to turn against Ray Come<on folks we should be better than this
Yes, the CEO is responsible for what happens under his watch, but he's not responsible for every short-term problem that happens in his organization. There's not an AD in the country that would have meddled much in Steve Spurrier's coaching decisions after last year. I'm sure they sat down and both agreed that 7-6 was unacceptable, but when you have a hall of fame coach, who'd just given you your 3 best years in the history of your football program, you don't go in and micromanage his team. It's ludicrous to suggest otherwise because no coach would ever want to work for you again. You let the proven coach decide for himself the best way to right ship and you both leave the meeting with the understanding that the coach will bear the burden if his decision turns out to be wrong
The CEO has to be judged based on long term trends. To that end, your second comment above is correct. Tanner can't afford to swing and miss on this coaching hire. If we are in this same spot 4 years from now, and depending on how things go in the other Gamecock sports, then it may be time to consider a new AD.
Anyone with half a brain would have promoted Holbrook to head coach like Tanner did when he retired. Hasn't worked great so far, but this year will be telling as to whether it will work out or not. I love all the 20/20 vision people after the fact.
hey mr king you re full of crap. you are the most negative poster on here bud. Hyman has been gone for awhile you cant have it both ways you gotta give the man credit for something
It's a contract! We owed him! We paid him! Appreciate what he did for the most part here and moved on from him!
Looking forward to Saturday at about 4 when this era will officially be over and we move on to the next!
