[QUOTE="GTsports1819, post: 695531, member: 1304"] He would be arguably the best coach on the market based on pedigree (if you exclude Pitino), so yeah it would be a home run. This goes back to the idea I mentioned in an earlier post that "if the right guy is out there, we have to be aggressive" with regards to selling GT Bball and making a competitive offer. At some point, we have to believe we can be as appealing as other P5 schools. Of course a school like Texas will have more money to throw around, and we would be fighting an uphill battle if it comes down to a coach choosing bw us and them. But that doesn't mean we can't beat out plenty of P5 schools if we play our cards right. I'm not saying we will get Beilein. But we should believe that we are capable of getting him or another proven winner on-board. It just takes an aggressive commitment to rebuilding the program. It isn't an apples to apples comparison, but look at what Tennessee did landing Rick Barnes. IIRC even though Barnes was taking some heat for not getting deep enough in the NCAAT, that was a surprise hire and a major statement by Tennessee that they were committed to getting their bball program back on track with a big name coach. IMO - right now, the biggest barrier to attracting a proven winner is the impending NCAA sanctions than anything else. But hopefully we are putting out feelers and trying to test the market. [/QUOTE]
