Dan Reneau's Legacy ??

Hopefully soon to be "Dan Reneau's Demise"



Positive spin.... here it is.... Leon wants to take a year to make sure that he would want to get back into coaching. He knows that Long's days are numbered, so he "strecthes his legs" at Baylor and will return here for a few more years to revive the Lady Deadsters and solidify his legacy as the greatest Ladies coach in NCAA history... HANDS DOWN.

Maybe we should change the name of this forum.

"Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?"

Our Baylor “Control Freak” Coach Hell-Cat Kim Mulkey will now be screaming and yelling at her poor ex-coach. If any man knows how to tame a shrew; let him speak up now or forever hold his peace?

after sleeping on it, here is what i think. I think Barmore wouldnt have minded coming back to tech to help, but, whats important is WHO he is under as an assistant. At Baylor, he can be a TRUE assistant because Kim is such a strong coach and personality. If he would have been put on the staff at Tech, he would have overshadowd Long BIG TIME and would by perseption been the HC without the title being attatched. Look, we all know how loyal Barmore had been over the years. How Tech held on to Coach B over the years is a mystery to me other than the fact that he loves Tech with all his heart. I really dont think coming back to Tech at this point is an option for him, but who knows, in a few years it might be. I hope everyone decides to hang on to their Barmore bobble heads for just a little longer and let it play out.

That crossed my mind as well.

"Fred" is a blog-enabled hater of anything and everything to do with women's sports, Kim Mulkey in particular. Don't pay the fool any attention.

Waco (and the world!) is delighted with Kim's hiring Leon Barmore.

You are correct. For my mourning, though, I have placed my 25th anniversary print of the Lady Techsters with Barmore in the middle backwards on the wall. I will leave it that way for a week. Then, I can start celebrating Spoon again and just see what develops from the Barmore story, because YOU KNOW there is a lot more that will come out about all of this.

not so much

Wonder what our "new" AD Dooley has to say about this???

"Who is Leon Barmore?"

[fanfromafar]

There's nothing wrong with Long, he's a good coach and made a good decision when he hired Crenshaw, I feel most of the players aren't trying there hardest

You're being sarcastic, right?

[fanfromafar]

I will say this now...because i will probably change my mind when I wake up tomorrow.

LB misses coaching, obviously. He doesn't want to be head coach, anywhere. At this point in his career, for him to come out of retirement for something he misses, I doubt he wants to rebuild anything...especially his program he spent his entire career building that he has spent the last several years watching be torn apart. Why not go join someone that he coached with for 15 years, won with for 15 years +, and enjoy being part of a national contender and finally retire having made it even stronger. Then he has that tagged onto his legacy as well.

As much as I am upset, I don't blame him for doing it. If LB is going to get back into coaching, outside of a HC position, he cannot do that at Tech right now. He would not be happy. He would be asked to be HC, and would have to say no. He could not be Long's assistant. He probably does not want to have to start over from scratch building something that he already had built.

Although I agree with most of what you say, read Leon's exact quote. He said there were only two schools that could get him to come out of retirement....Tech and Baylor. I guess Tech didn't make an offer.

[fanfromafar]

You honestly think that Leon would leave a head coaching job at Oklahoma State to be an assistant at a place he left a few years back?

What? Have you not had your coffee yet?

[Mean Gene]

I'm truly happy for both Leon & Kim. LB still has plenty of knowledge to share & Kim has always been like a sponge when she was his AC. This is perfect for him because he can do what he enjoys the most & that's coach. No worries about recruiting & dealing w/a**wipe egotistical university presidents like Reneau!
I remember SEVERAL of ya'll on this board who suggested that CL ask Leon back to help out. So this begs the question - did CL do so & Leon said "NO"? If so, I can't see that answer being the university because LB has a HUGE love for Tech. It would have to be, IMHO, because of CL!! That's even more apparent w/this move AFTER T-Spoon signed up ( another one of Leon's favorite players ).
Or did CL simply NOT ask for help ( when he clearly had to know he was in over his head as HC )? There comes a time when U need to check your ego at the door & this was one of those times ( & he blew it!! ).
Guess time will tell how this soap opera plays out for both universities. Personally, I'd put my $$ on Baylor.

they have already beaten the techsters with the coach they got. (sorry; I shoulda said that with my inside voice)
