I dont know if he would have been a great hire then, maybe, but he was still 3 full years before he became a head coach. Apparently he turned down a bunch of offers including us, waiting on the right oppurtunity, but I honestly dont think the last four years would have been much better no matter who the coach was because of the facilities, commitment to the program, jumping into the BIG EAST, etc. All things that are in the process of being fixed supposedly. RMC went from 7-21 to 21-7 in 3 seasons as a head coach at Western Michigan. I think he would have eventually been a great coach for us in C-USA, but being thrown in to the Big East with everything else that happened was to much.
