I agree that you continue to fix football but I just don’t believe it’ll take that much to get bball program back where it was. I feel like Coach L stayed maybe a year or two longer than he should. His evaluations of late were the issue not necessarily the falloff of the program as a whole.
Yes, Caputo has a key to Jim's success. Most certainly in recruiting, too. But he has to start winning games in the A10 at a higher rate. He won 10 games in the A10 his first year. He only won 4 A10 games last year. I realize GWU is a tough place. They just don't have the NIL so he it is a longer build, but if you are not competitive in your mid-tier conference then you have to take pause.
Alabama tried to be relevant in basketball well before it actually hit. They didn’t wait until Saban had them fully rolling. Gottfried wasn’t cheap. Anthony Grant was a hot name when they hired him. Avery Johnson was an attempt at a splash move. Didn’t fully work until bringing in Oats, but they didn’t fix football and then move to basketball. They just sucked at it lol
Looks like @Peter Ariz with a botched jaw surgery.
Considering FSU's coach is our old coach, I don't think their opinion counts.
Would like a few years of sustained success
Fixing football won't be about diverting NIL resources. People have rightly pointed out that Alabama was trying to do both at the same time. Alabama whiffed on coaches in both then hired Saban and now Oats. That fixes your programs. The right hires. NIL aint saving Mario or Miami football. That's up to him.
Might be a lateral move tbh. Also feels like he may just stick at Marquette regardless. His Texas tenure seemed miserable, and he’s from Wisconsin.
Yes, and Chris was important at Mason, too. But he has to have a breakout year or in my opinion is the risk is too great. I'd rather go with a guy who has won his conference multiple times at a mid-major or has demonstrated he wins at wherever he has been.
