Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles head coach John Pelphrey has been fired after seven losing seasons, replaced by Tobin Anderson on a five-year deal. We analyze the impact of this coaching change on the 2026-27 season.

Key topics include the team's recent losses to UT Martin and Southeast Missouri State, defensive improvements needed under Anderson, and roster battles in the backcourt and frontcourt. We discuss Lamine Niang's performance and the challenges facing the squad.

We revisit our predictions for a fourth-place OVC finish and sixteen wins. Listen to hear how Anderson can address spacing, shot selection, and leadership to turn the program around.
