Since Georgia Tech was kind enough to take Josh Pastner off of the Tigers' hands, that AAC program has been casting around for a replacement. Given their self experiences with Pastner and their image/pedigree they are not in the market for an upcoming assistant. Word is they are going after Texas Tech's Tubby Smith. Given where the Red Raiders fall in the Big 12 pecking order, I have to believe Smith might have better luck recruiting to Memphis (even if the AAC can't hold a candle to the Big 12).
Should he take the job I wonder? Bigger pay check aside (I believe Memphis will pay), what are the other advantages to coaching in the AAC at Memphis rather than in the Big 12 at Lubbock?
