Doubt any of this makes much difference.  We already missed our chance at the one Coach that was available and would have had an immediate impact.  He is now coaching at Auburn and even Charles Barkley is excited about that.

As has been said ad nauseum, this assumes we actually had a chance.  I'm skeptical that we did.

I don't know if we did or not like you said but I know he would have been flown down here on our private jet and and gotten some serious wine and dine or what ever he likes if I were in charge.  But you are right - he may have just said no way.  I guess what I am really saying is I didn't see all stops being pulled out and maybe you just cant do that but I am not PC and probably gotten in trouble but call the press, call his Mom, call his wife and kids, call his friends. 

 

At this point I just don't think it makes much difference who we hire we won't get the impact needed.

I think Pearl was in a class by himself in this round of available coaches and would have had an immediate impact from a buzz standpoint but it doesn't mean we won't get a coach that can take us to the next level ..

Russ Wood â€@RussHoops

@WesJacksonUSF one of the worst coaching searches ever

100% agree with Russ on this one.

Looks like the media folks would REALLY enjoy working with him from this "testy" pre-NCAA news conference:

Pretty impressive the way this can scratch and still answer questions from the media.

I hear ya Vega - but what I also see is someone with experience across many levels of the game. He may have won with another coach's players, however you don't just slide your way to 27 W's.

 

I am SHOCKED

 

SHOCKED, I say

 

That Vega hasn't been hired as HC yet.

I think Joey Johnston has a deeper plug, and hes pretty confident USF comes out with a solid coach. He could be on the Pelphrey train though.

I wanted a different look with the new coach. Hoping for young and energetic but I guess a homeless look would be a change, too ....

 

 

OMG

 

Whats up with all the itching?
