[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 788608, member: 1776"] As most on here know, Pastner was in the H*** no category for me 5 years ago. I was vehemently opposed to hiring him. But i'm happy to be wrong. He did exactly what he said he would do from his opening press conference. He was going to build a get old, stay old program and MBob told him he had 5 years to make the Tourney. So mission accomplished in that sense. He reminds me more of Bobby Cremins than any coach we have had since he retired. He's more of a dork than Bobby was (though Bobby was a little eccentric), but both of them are just extremely positive and incredibly friendly. To get to this point given the obstacles thrown in front of the program (some of which he created himself) definitely required the positivity he possesses. Mostly, i'm happy that the attempt to destroy his career ended up failing. No one can predict the future, I hope the next 5 years are better than the last 5, we can only wait and see on that but Pastner has at least put this program in the best place it has been in over a decade. There is one tweet I still remember from 5 years ago. I believe it was from Jeff Goodman. Like most at the time he was taking a little bit of a shot at GT hiring Pastner, but in his tweet he did say GT is a much better fit for Pastner than Memphis ever was. I was really hoping for Drew or Capel 5 years ago, but after living through the last 5 years, I definitely think GT got the right one out of those 3 for GT. [/QUOTE]
