Let me start by saying that I was OK with giving Andy Kennedy another year to figure some things out.
He was our winningest basketball coach of all time. He was undermined by an administration who wanted him to fail. He hadn’t capitalized quickly enough on the Pavilion in recruiting, but a crop of Memphis and North Mississippi players could possibly swing the tide. Then, he decided it best to leave and head to the greener pastures of the SEC Network.
In stepped Kermit Davis.
Davis’ resume was fine, and he’s said all the right things to pass the Rebel fan base litmus test of a new coach.
