Some comments on the SEC standings.
Four teams above us, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Alabama hit were teams on the skids the past few seasons but they have recovered nicely and sit ahead of us in SEC standings - while we have regressed. The common denominator to these teams is they hired better coaches.
Auburn did not have a winning season for 5 consecutive seasons, until last year under Pearl.
Tennessee hired 3 coaches in 4 yrs. They could have gone in the tank after the Bruce Pearl/Donnie Tyndall era. Hiring Rick Barnes, they are in recovery mode.
Alabama has been to the NCAA only once since 2006 when they fired Mark Gottfried. In 6 seasons, Anthony Grant brought them 2 winning SEC seasons. Avery appears to be getting it done
Missouri went to the NCAA in 2013 but had a complete collapse the next 3 seasons, only winning a 8 games under coach Kim Anderson. Cuonzo is a coach.
For now (season ain't over) these four teams came from further down and are equal or ahead of where we are. This wouldn't be so bad, except this was to be our breakthrough season. Fox finally has some players, no need for the Flo, HK, KPG players to be on the floor.
In Fox' ninth year at just past mid season, we are 8th in the SEC. This was a year of expectations, Scoring and rebound leader Yante came back, good incoming class, 4* players throughout the lineup. This was not a rebuilding year, we were pointing to this as the season we could turn the corner. For a respectable program this season would be an embarrassment, but 9 straight seasons with this performance would be cause for outrage. Not so at UGA, a football school that has no such thoughts about its basketball team.
I'm appreciative of what Mark Fox has done, and baffled at two things. Why hasn't he done more, and how he is still employed?
While I'm fed up with some of the constant comments from posters like derk and mono, I understand their frustration. My point is made and I hope for the best the rest of this season. But a perfect world doesn't have Mark Fox coaching my team.
