Message: [QUOTE="biobioprof, post: 3289333, member: 8869"] Don't forget that lack of recent success at Ole Miss in WBB, like the case with LSU, involved coaching scandals. Very different kind but I'd argue that they were both damaging in terms of rebuilding programs with prior success. Adrian Wiggins getting canned in 2012 for recruiting violations before coaching a single game also led some Ole Miss fans to blame WBB for bringing unwanted NCAA attention to the shenanigans with the football team. That's the same year Vic arrived at State. I think Vic was a great hire for Miss State, but it probably didn't hurt in landing in state players like Victoria Vivians that Ole Miss had imploded (don't know if Vivians had an affinity for Ole Miss or Miss State coming out of HS, though).
