If Anderson hasn't made the tourney after year 5, I'm still not convinced we'd fire him; however if his name was Mike Smith and he'd made his bones as an assistant at Villanova, he'd be out on his arse.
The Mike Smith argument is only valid if Mike Smith did not have a similar resume coming in. Up and Comers get a short leash, as they should, prior success in the tourney and program building will buy a new coach more time vs an up and comer.
If Frank worked with Dana Altman to bring in what he needed to shore up the APR problem, he would still be the HC and the program would not have had the problems it has since 2008. Pel was the worst possible hire that could have been made because of his track record, he took over a USA program that was in a similar shape as Arkansas with the APR, he did the same thing there that he did here, compounded the situation and left the program with a loss of scholarship with the APR.

If Bielema is struggling to make a bowl in year 5, is he to be given a long leash because of his success at Wisconsin? Again, I'm not calling for Anderson to be fired at all, I'm just reiterating my original hesitation with hiring him.
