The Search

We are about to become Wake Forrest

Though that would be a new low for us, Wake Forrest did make a good hire in Manning.

Which is worse: Confirming BG was fired last year or standing in the mirror practicing your hand clapfor Bryce Drew hiring press conference?

Are you trying to say that the press conference is no longer happening after the Final Four?!

Is Larranga still an option?

I think that it more and more looks like both cases may hang more on the incompetence of MBob than of KQ.

Is Larranga still an option?

Hopefully. He could possibly remotely salvage this search just based on his NBA experience. Kelsey would be more underwhelming than Gregory.

Unless MBob is having one to announce his resignation

Please let this happen

I don't think it's as dire as Mbob possibly losing his job, but interesting question:

People keep making the point that Football is still king here so if the AD messes up the Basketball hire, is that enough for him to lose his job?

Also, Pat Kelsey's trajectory is very similar to those of mid-major guys that get hired, so he wouldn't be a bad choice if it comes down to it.

If we really missed on drew....I would want USC's coach who is not likely, my boy Ron Hunter( I know all of you hate him), or king rice.

In an attempt to play devil's advocate, MBob has played this entire series of events very close to the vest. Not many people are privy to his direction or intentions. Not saying he didn't lose out on Drew, or cause Capel to back out, but there is a shot he pulls this off, or is operating efficiently behind the scenes. Before we start calling for his head, we should wait until a hire is actually made.

.594 winning percentage in 4 seasons at Winthrop with zero postseason appearances. Yea, no thanks.

Before we go that LOW, I would look at Bob Hoffman, Lonergan or Steve Forbes.

I don't hate Coach Ron Hunter. I think he could recruit better than CBG did but think we can do better.

What's the Fun in that?

Very similar to Brad Brownell, Mike Brey, Danny Manning, Jim Christian, Coach K (had a worse record), before they took their ACC jobs.

Record doesn't paint the full picture.
