[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 676791, member: 2299"] IMO some people believe that firing a coach is about punishment for bad coaching. It isn't. Schools change coaches when they believe it is best for the program. That means sometimes a bad coach is retained or a good coach is fired because of the options going forward. With that being said, let's assume Pastner is safe until after year 5 for financial reasons. What will be the factors looked at when determining whether we are better off with him or with trying to replace him? Well for starters his time at Memphis is meaningless. It just isn't relevant. When determining whether Pastner should get a year 6/7 you aren't going to look at a different school in a different conference, a decade ago when you can just look at what he has done at the school in the conference that he will be if he is retained. That is also why what he did in the first 3 years both the good, ACC CoY in year 1, and the bad, years 2 and 3, won't be weighted nearly as much as what happens this year and next. Because those years were transition years, and this year and next are years he's had nearly a full cycle to build and coach a roster, and the latter is the case that he would have going forward. Lastly, how he recruits in 21 will go a long ways towards whether he is retained. There is a reason that Hewitt was retained after 08-09 while Gregory was fired after his best year in 16. The answer is Hewitt was bringing in a top 5 class, and Gregory was bringing in a 2 man class in response to losing everyone. So yeah, the 21 recruiting class will go a long ways towards either buying Pastner more time or pushing him out the door. The reality is the criteria that he will most be judged on hasn't happened yet. Even so far this year, the way we play in ACC play, with a full roster, will outweigh what we did without Jose.
