I'm not really annoyed by it, but I AM amused at all of the misinformation and half-truths coming from mostly out of market and national media outlets on this issue. They clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
And this may not go away as soon as you think, either. Unless our next coach...
A. is the greatest X's and O's guy to ever stalk the sideline; or
B. can land a boatload of 4* and 5* recruits in short order...
...then he is inevitably going to struggle next year with the dearth of talent he will have inherited from Martin. Then, the chorus is going to be "UT ran off a Sweet 16 coach for _________, who can't even get them to the postseason". Don't believe me? Just watch.
Also, I'm just waiting for one of them to play the race card. Because you KNOW it's coming.
