[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 220492, member: 1776"] Here's sort of my parting thoughts. I am quite skeptical of this hire, you'd be foolish not to be. it looks like a desperate coach and a desperate AD coming together. So here are the questions i'll wait to be answered. First, what does the contract look like? What is the base salary, what are the incentives, what is the buyout? We have been horrible at these recently have we learned anything second, did Memphis chip in any money for him to come here - if it has and it allows us to pay down the buyouts then this is more palatable as then you are at least in a situation that if we do have to go out again in 4-5 yrs we should be in a better place financially Third, the staff. Who does he hire. I have strong feelings here. I think he needs a seasoned former HC on his staff. His best teams he had either a former HC or an asst who became an HC on his staff. This was the mistake Hewitt made not having strong assts after the first 5 yrs. After that person (and I would be fine if its Herrion or someone else of Pastner's choosing) at least 2 of the other 3 staff slots should be local ties. Alot of good names have already been mentioned as potential here - Sharman White, cabral Huff, Korey McCray, Charlton Young (i'd literally throw $350K+ at him to pry him from FSU) IMO, we need to have a staff budget that approaches $1MM per yr. Fourth, follow recruiting this spring. Does Charlie Moore open his recruitment and does Memphis allow him to follow Pastner. He was the #1 guy i wanted in the 2016 class. If we somehow got him i'd be thrilled. Do we keep all 3 of our currents. I do think that likelihood probably increased today and that is good. Who does he get involved with in the 2017 class. it is really deep in GA - the deepest since at least 2011. GT was involved with some of the second tier guys but wasn't a player for any of the top 50 types. Will that change? Last comment. I may not be enthused with the hire, but since it is already too late to stop it, i'll say he is my coach now because he is at my school and I want my school to win (I wanted Gregory to win every game he was at GT, I feel the same way about Pastner). I'll be there opening night hoping we start to rebuild this program. I'll also agree about something else. I don't think there will end up being a middle ground here. Either he will have learned and succeed or he will not and fail. [/QUOTE]
