Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 2460037, member: 632"] I agree with [USER=5260]@Stairmaster[/USER] that UConn is likely never going to achieve the same sustained success as they had under Calhoun. That's not a shot at the program, but more simply recognizing they call people all time greats, because they are extremely rare. I've been extremely disappointed with Ollie the past three seasons as I think he's been exposed on a lot of different levels. Like Stair, I think if we fail to make the NCAAs it would be appropriate to fire him (buyout may prohibit that though). We may or may not get a better person for the program than KO, but given what we've seen since Napier left, I don't think it's unreasonable to go that route. What I think people are missing in all of this is that there's a good chance we bring in a guy and they flame out. UConn is still a good job, but due to our league it's no longer a very good job. If we pay a good salary I think we'll be able to bring somebody in that can do a good job, but what's even a good job to the majority of our fans standards? Gun to my head, I don't think the majority of our fanbase could deal with being a Cincinnati, Xavier, Temple, type program that's consistently in the Tournament, but only on rare occasions makes runs to the 2nd weekend. If you're asking me are we more likely to fall into that group or stay with the Michigan States, Floridas or Arizonas of the world, I don't think I like the answer. [/QUOTE]
