Message: [QUOTE="Tuna, post: 2551986, member: 6776"] I agree that this four season stretch doesn't cut it. My whole point was I believe it's going to be really hard for somebody else to come in and do a whole lot better right away. With an obvious short leash coupled with an uphill battle (potential defections, conference, ncaa cloud hanging over the program) there are some quality guys that may opt for more job security than this is one is going to provide. I realize there will still be coaches that are up to taking on the challenge but to say some may think twice is irrational and insane?? I think KO would win more games than anyone else they can bring in for at least the next 2-3 seasons if he could keep the team together this spring and the NCAA investigation doesn't result in any major penalties. I think the young core of the team could turn out to be really good, I'd like to see us keep them together and KO probably offers the best chance to do that. While it's fair to question if KO can even coach a team up again, it's equally fair to believe he can. Injuries have played significant roles the past two seasons and that championship wasn't pure luck, he's got it in him somewhere. I'd like to see him get one more chance with his back against the wall to show he can turn it around. If you don't that's fine too. [/QUOTE]
