Message: [QUOTE="djct1999, post: 2622744, member: 2281"] I don't disagree. It was in response to the OP who said Crean's best year was better than Hurley's best year. Look, we have a large enough sample set over the last 3 years to know something isn't right. I don't know exactly what happened, but something did and for the health of the program we need to move on. That said, I don't think anyone could/should discredit KO for what he accomplished those first few years. Hopefully when the dust settles and the emotions subside, people will realize that at that time, there simply was no one better for the job. I really believe that. The first two years were simply amazing. The job he did was amazing. The way he held those kids together the first year when they were playing for nothing was all him. The title year, how he had those kids playing level 5 defense, how he got Boatright to buy in, was something maybe only he could have done. Were they Calhoun's kids? You can say that. At the same time, that doesn't mean at all that Calhoun would have won a title with that same roster. I doubt he would have. In my mind, only one man could have. That man was KO. I hope more than anything that the break up goes well and KO feels he is welcomed back. He should be. He was the perfect bridge, did the perfect job early on, but its time to hand the baton off.
