From all I have heard, Jay Butler is a great guy. However, he is a horrible tennis coach. I don't know how we did against Southern, but against the remaining schedule, save Grambling, we have won not one a single match. We are consistently putting up goose eggs. (LSU 0-7; Sam Houston 0-7; USL - 0-7; UAB - 0-6). We barely beat Grambling - 4-3.
Butler has no business coaching tennis, and Oakes should absolutely be ashamed of this hire. Butler is a basketball coach. Would we hire a tennis coach to coach basketball? Of course not.
Oakes, shame on you. You have embarassed the team and our university.
I hope Butler can turn this around, but I don't see much hope.
Jay, please prove me wrong. If you don't, please live up to your reputation as a great guy, and resign as soon as the year is up. Use your talents in an area you have some competence.
