[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 220862, member: 2299"] I think MBob handled the process well. People say that he needed to have someone lined up before making the move and it sounded like that was the case with Drew, but as was told to people before, you can't finalize anything until everyone's season was done. So while he looked to have had Drew in line for a while, until Drew was out of the NIT then a move couldn't be made. And unfortunately during that time, pitt hired Stallings from vandy, creating an opening that nobody really foresaw. That in turn caused a hangup that couldn't have foreseen, or if it had there would always be potential for a conflicting opening to come up whoever he had lined up. Had valpo made the NCAAT, they likely don't make it out of the first weekend, in which case he would have been available as soon as we made the hire. We fired gregory on the 25th, and it's possible we would have locked in drew before Pitt got Stallings on the 27th. Instead he went to the NIT, made a deep run, and the delay caused an outside factor to throw a wrench into the mix. And at the end of the day Vandy looks looks like they were willing to pay him more, and I'm not sure it was because we didn't have the money, but instead thought the price was too much for the product. With Capel we don't really know how serious things got. If we thought we had drew then the interest in Capel was probably cursory and when both sides realized they were too far away from making a deal work, they both moved on. The search was a bit of a circus, but only so because the media constantly put out reports that were little more than speculation while MBob was remaining more or less tight lipped. As it stands we got a moderate risk coach who has a pretty high upside on a contract that does a good job of minimizing the downside of the risk not going in our way, meaning if we have to fire him we won't be that hamstrung by cash.
