Doug Gottlieb to Oklahoma St.

[KITNfury]

Do not want Doug.  Hell his own university took a pass on him to promote the assistant.  Steve Forbes would be great.

Doesn't mean they made the right choice. He's obviously a crapshoot, though.

Let say Mike and Evans elevate their recruiting and do an average job of developing players. Maintain a above average roster. In conference they stay around 5-7 wins do poor coaching / game planning. Is this a better way to stall a program than lets say what Weber is doing now? I know both are unintentional from an admin stand point.

I don't think you'd see an above-average roster go 5-13 to 7-11. Certainly not with any consistency.

That said, I'm a firm believer in always hiring the best recruiter available. Because the coach always leaves and you want the best possible roster for the next guy.

Yeah, people that talk about any coach "being here a long time" are dumb.

That depends. It's ok to want that, but should never be criteria considered when looking for a coach.

That's what I meant.

Between people saying they want a coach that will "stay a long time" or not firing a coach because "we could do worse", I'm not sure which is more annoying.

The latter because it absolutely makes no sense.
