Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 2474060, member: 71"] Some people here are speaking out of their collective backsides. After the euphoria of replacing a head coach wears off, the idea of being in the middle of what will be a three year run (with the new coach, add a couple more for the end of the Ollie era) with no tournament bid in sight (remember, this is the real world, there wasn't any guarantee that the new coach would suffer three years of rebuilding followed by continual deep tournament runs) will lead to commentary on Ollie's replacement similar to what we see today. Keep in mind, the last time we endured more than one year in a row with no tournament bid the Berlin Wall was still intact. Early in what would become the dream season there were plenty of UConn fans (half a decade before the internet) who wondered aloud if JC was the right guy (after he left us on a miraculous run to an NIT title) and for nearly a a decade after the dream season many (even on the internet) complained that he took us as far as he could and if we ever wanted to make a final four we would need to change coaches. Those who are claiming they would sit quietly through three years of no tournament if we brought in a new head coach are among the biggest complainers when things go bad. I call bulls#!t on anyone of them who claims they won't whine like a four year old girl during a new head coach's three year inauguration of no tournament appearances. [/QUOTE]
