DOok coach gets 9.5 mill, which is 4 mill more than Pitino or Calipari?
Holy good God. The fact is DOok WAS a great program through about 2004. 3 titles 13 . 6 runners up. Good stuff.
After 2004? ONE final four appearance, which led to a NC (2010). And that is with crazy over-seeding virtually every year.
They lost to two patsies on the first weekend in 2 of the last 3 seasons, with very high seeds.
Fact is, the 2010 NC was critical to DoOk maintaining the notion that they are a top program. If the don't win in 2010, you'd have to say that the glory days were behind them. With the win in 2010, what can be said? A decade of very good teams, not elite, with one breakout season, and overall poor performance in the Tourni?
For 9.5 mill you'd think you'd get Squid's production levels of and deep runs.
Something is not right at Dook. Give it a couple more years - if they don't find their way back to the FF in the next few years, they're going to start calling for the old rodent to hang 'em up - mark it down.
