  1. I agree with A

    Hell, if he had done that in the first place, he would still be here. 

    I also was a little frustrated with the plateau he seemed to have reached when here. 

    But time with 49'ers, Colorado Oregon, (FSU is a negative, but only short time), surely has added to his talent, knowledge, patience. 

    I could/would welcome him.

    All in all, I will support the BULLS and anyone MK feels is our best man! Just make sure he can/will build a "row the boat" enthusiasm. 

  2. My suggestion, to make this affordable. 

    Sit Strong on his ass in an office. Make him do all the paperwork until he gets fed up and quits (no payout).

    Let KBell (as Asst. Head Coach, and a small raise) take over the team with contract that has performance incentives and a redo in 2 years after Strong is gone!
    We would have to live with 1 less official coach, as Strong would count against the total. But we could hire a "consultant" just like FSU hired Levett, then made him a coach after Taggart was fired.

    I know we are all disappointed right now, but lets be clear:  this isn't "same old story" for us.  We've had ONE coach drive us into irrelevance, and then this guy came in, fixed his mess, and is now leaving for better things.  It would have been nice for him to stay, but he left just like 95% of other would have (and we already hit our 5% so we're "running good", if you will).  This feeling is new territory for us; it's unnerving, but it's a product of our success. Don't forget that.

    The main point here is that this is a GOOD thing (if not the best possible outcome).  If other schools are interested in our coach, that means we are succeeding and are on the upswing.  I certainly favor that over having to fire a failing coach, don't you?  We're not the first mid-tier school to get their coach poached, and we won't be the last.  Hell, I hope we are going through this again in a couple years, because that means we are continuing to win. This is how we start to become a top tier program.  A guy gets poached, someone comes in to replace him, he gets poached, so on and so forth until either we become a legitimate destination or we get "that guy" who sees us as his dream job.

    It's crucial that we hire the right guy to replace CWT.  We all experienced the Skip fiasco, and we know how a bad hire can suck the momentum out of a program. Thankfully, we're set to compete and win the conference  next year, which both increases our appeal to quality coaches and makes the actual transition easier.
