During that time accrued a record of 381-259 most recently 288-171 at his alma matter where he will probably be fired this year due to an unusually off season. Not to mention his 7 NCAA tournament berths; because one time our previous AD hired him at a different school. Makes complete sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluck somebody from a small school. Let him use us as a steppingstone; I don't care. We have to have a rebuild that works. No more 3 years of rebuilding and then we are back to square one again.

You need to find a coach who went to a school with very little basketball tradition, in a major metropolitan, football first area, with tepid, at best, fan/student support and built it up to where they weren't rebuilding after 3 or 4 years like most schools do ... Outside of finding someone like that, you're just rolling the dice with a new coach so it really doesn't matter how hungry he is or where he comes from. MH does his homework, picks who he thinks is the best option, give him a 5 year contract and leave him alone .... barring a COA type situation with an investigation and valuable recruits not making it to campus or leaving after a year and a half.

Agreed. My hope rests in the fact that Seth was able to recruit when we didn't have facilities. And Stan started to bring in some talent before he was cut loose -after we had facilities. (1) This isn't the USF bball of old (with bare-bone facilities). (2) We aren't so cheap anymore. I mean we paid Seth 400K... (3) BUT the old problems remain (the things you said in your post). You also forgot being cursed... Also, I think Antigua was just a really, really bad hire. "Let's just run wild like Kentucky but without Kentucky's talent." Stan was smart; he slowed things down to keep from getting slaughtered. Edited February 18, 2017 by FarEastBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that since Stan was able to get it to a certain point it can definitely be done. Hopefully when the next one gets to that point, the powers that be don't automatically assume that we can just reload and gives the coach time. And I didn't mention the Curse on purpose. It may thrive on the attention ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
