New Coach will have Bigger Shoes to fill

[Jewbull]

With Mac (no disrespect to him) but we got what we paid for, $200k a yr, and that is why I feel he lasted 4 yrs, now we are going to have to pony up about $700-800K per yr for a coach, I am sure this guy will have a shorter leash, when paying a high premium for someting you expect quicker results from it. It will be interesting to see who we bring in and who even wants to come here.

To me (again with no respect to any of the parties involved) the easy part is over.  And I don't mean "easy" as in terminating someone.  I mean that decision could be made on certain variables.  In fact, several will celebrate AD Woolard's decision to look for a new coach.  The real difficult and telling piece of the process will be who we bring in and how much we are ready to invest in the program.

what is USF going to invest in the Bball program will help to attract the best possible coach.

we have a lot more going for us than when Mac was hired.

1. the BE best conf in the country

2. BE talent on the court(gransberry), needs depth

3. sundome upgrades on the way

4. exposure from the football program

we still have lots of the negatives including tradition, fan support, multi-sport town ect.

hope we land a gem of a coach in the leavitt/prado/fenandez mold

usf is a goldmine

there can only be improvement

Bulliever I completely agree the hard part starts now.

As for USF being a goldmine, I also agree but sometimes you need to pay for expensive driiling equipment to get to those goldmines, its pretty hard to hit those deep goldmines when all you have is a chisel
