Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 2288205, member: 3517"] I think 4 years is a small sample size to be complaining about only making the tournament twice. Does anyone think if Larrier, Gilbert AND Diarra didn't miss the entire season last year that we wouldn't have made the tournamnent? I doubt you will find many. KO has won the National Championship 25% of the time in which he had a shot to do so. Just to put that into perspective for you, take John Calipari as an example. The guy has landed top rated recruiting classes every school he has been at. He has won the tournament exactly one time ONE in his 25 years of coaching. (That's 4%). Does KO deserve another 5 years to turn things around? I don't think so, but letting him go after 5 years, recruiting sanctions and a season riddled with injuries would also be incredibly short-sited. I realize many on here are impatient, but KO is gaining experience and becoming a better coach. He's unfortunately in the position of doing it in a high visibility program. If KO was let go tomorrow I guarantee you that he would be immediately scooped up by a top P5 program. Let's all just take a deep breath and watch this season unfold before we put the nail in the coffin. I still firmly believe that KO is the right man for the job, this is just a bump in the road.
