i look at it as if he hadn't hired anderson and he was doing semi-well somewhere else we'd be hearing the same thing we hear about every other coach who's ever stepped foot in the state yet never been hired as a head coach here. why do you hate your own so much? why not hire him? yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda.

Yes. Its a fan base problem. Just look at all the "x coach" would have came, but wasn't offered job in football and basketball. Jimmie Johnson, Charlie Strong, Gus Malazahn, Butch Davis, etc. You never heard about these guys, cept Gus because of his cult following, because they were wronged in not getting offered the job until they landed a big time job somewhere else.

In basketball you have Bill Self, Gregg Marshall, Buzz Killington, etc. All were waiting to get the job but weren't offered out of the "program's stupidity".

The other problem is how the fan base wants the coach to do things you know he doesn't do when hired or while here. With Ford it was pass the ball, Nutt pass the ball, Petrino win big games, Bert pass the ball.

On the basketball side you had Heath who ran set plays, focused on the low post game, but everyone bitched about the tempo and how his teams were slow.

With Mike you have people wanting him to run set plays, focus on the low post game, and slow the pace down to a more methodical tempo.
