[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 791642, member: 1776"] And that is something you have to think about if you hire a coach from VCU. Is the success more due to the coach or more due to the school. Every coach at VCU has had a winning record, all 12. VCU has a .650 winning percentage all time. The last 4 coaches to leave are Jeff Capel, Anthony Grant, Shaka Smart and Wil Wade. All got big time jobs. All had mixed success at the power conference schools. All 4 had flashes of success at the P5 level but none have been able to sustain it. That may have more to say about how hard it is to build and sustain a winning program that makes and wins NCAA Tourney games on a regular basis than about their overall competence as coaches. College basketball is not like college football where if you go .500 you will play in the postseason. I think Marquette is a better fit for Smart than TX was. I believe he will do better there than TX, but how much better will be the key for both him and ultimately the Marquette fans. [/QUOTE]
