Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 3866695, member: 4687"] Why not just give BOTH coaches at least three years in their new positions before passing judgement? Rome wasn't built in a day. It often takes a full recruiting cycle for a program to get on track. Vic is trying to change a culture in Texas...Nikki is trying to build off what Schaeffer left her. I understand you wanting success RIGHT NOW but you just need to be patient. I'll close by referencing Wes Moore at NC State. This is his 8th season with NC State...but it wasn't until year 5 that the Wolfpack Women became a team that could be relied on to win most of the games they play, which coincided with him having a full recruiting cycle to get the players he wanted to fit his program. And no disrespect to Mississippi State, but they don't have the tradition that NC State does, as a once great power who went through some lean times before re-establishing itself. Much of the great success Mississippi State had during the latter part of Schaeffer's tenure was because of a once-in-a-generation player like McCowan...but she's gone now, and isn't coming back. These things take time. So, sit back and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
