Gardner (winner) set a standard
Winter (winner) Maintained it
Fitzsimmons (Winner) - Maintained it
Hartman (winner who stayed too long) - left program worse than he got it. *** was near elite until the garbage stretch at the end, which went on two seasons to long
Kruger (winner) - left program better than he got it. Moved back toward the initial standard
Altman (loser at the time, winner in training) unable to maintain it, left it worse than he found it
Asbury (winner turned loser) - cratered it
Wooly (SLTH) - left it better than he found it. I got nothing but love for wooly
Huggins (winner) a Drasitcally improves the program instantly I’m so many ways. Would have won multiple B12 titles and taken us to the final four had he stayed. Firmly believe this
Martin (puncher/winner combo w/ high floor) maintained what Huggins began well. He did start to falter minimally at the end
Weber (low floor puncher) initially maintained/raised it, cratered it, got another chance, Rekindled it again, then came uber crater 2.0

It’s rare for high-major coaches to survive back-to-back losing seasons at programs (outside of initial rebuilding phase) who give a damn. oscar has the rare opportunity to survive both a 3 season streak and then a two season streak.
 

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

When you're on the Mount Rushmore of coaches at a University, you get to stay a little longer than others.

We're still doing this huh?

How in the eff are you going to call huggins and martin winners? You've lost your ever loving rough ridin' mind, it's beyond even trying to reason with you at this point. I can see why one would hold a 10-6 conference record and nit appearance in such high regard.

if you're going to include non-kstate years, it's pretty much impossible to not have huggins as a winner.  if you aren't, it's pretty much impossible to not consider martin to be a winner.

The sole context is what these people have done here. If he's considering entire resumes, Frank is very much the opposite of a winner, Huggins' time at West Virginia moves him farther away from being a winner. In fact in the years since Huggins left Cincinnati, oscar and Hugs' resumes are very similar. If we're going to draw a hard line between the two because Huggins bossed The Metro Conference 25 years ago, I suppose one could do that.

Of course considering Frank a winner using context outside of K-State is absolutely hilarious and there's no way nicname would even try it.

I mean, sign me up for 23-12, 10-6 and 4th/12 in the conference.  I know that wasn’t a great team, but it’s pretty damn close to qualifying as “winner”.
:adios:

We have people that are afraid of firing oscar because the next coach might be "middle of the pack", but those same people consider the results of an NIT season amazing. (I know, Huggins impact was more after he left, but doesn't help my point).

An NIT season is a good season.

the last NIT the 7th and 8th place B12 teams made it.
the one before that, the 8th and 9th place B12 teams made the NIT.

So, 8th place in the Big 12 is now a good season? It's only a good season or seasons if it's a rebuild sandwiched between NCAA tourney bids.

^Yes, the needle is pointing to oscar's results the last 2 years.

I think it’s relevant that Huggins took over from approx. 2 decades of Altman/Asbury/Wooly, that Frank took over from a single year of Huggins that Frank was part of, and that oscar took over from 6 years of Huggins/Frank.

NIT teams are indistinguishable from 10 seeds. If you think your team is headed to the NIT, they aren't. It's made up of teams that were snubbed from the tournament.

Wooly worked his ass off to build that roster back up.
