[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 689120, member: 1776"] I think the bigger issue in eventually replacing Pastner is going to be the recruiting restrictions, not the financials (though those don't help either). Until the more severe restrictions from the NCAA pass it is going to be very difficult to get any coach worth paying to come here. Hopefully at this point we are getting smart and have withdrawn our appeal of the postseason ban - this year's squad isn't going anywhere. Alot of it is who can we ultimately attract. Mbob reached out to Chris Mack (who he had hired at Xavier) when Gregory was fired and Mack didn't have any interest in the GT job. Then when Bryce Drew reneged at the last minute they reached out to multiple other coaches before hiring Pastner. What I do feel like though is when we make our next coaching hire it is the most important one since Cremins. I'm probably older than most on this board. My gut is that if we have a 3rd straight poor hire I may not see a winning program in my remaining lifetime. The kids who are being recruited now have basically never seen GT in the NCAA Tourney. GT currently has one of the longest absences from the NCAA Tourney of any power conference team. I'm expecting it to take 1-2 years before the financials and recruiting restrictions are in a place where it makes sense to make a move. [/QUOTE]
