No ray wasn't the worst hire but in my opinion he was the right hire to clean up the mess. The players aren't running the team, rays players are better students than ever in a long time and he started a serious foundation rebuild. One of the tv stations mentioned a lot of this and I was unaware of all the behind the scenes stuff he did. In my opinion State is in a better position now to rebuild the winning side of the program now that ray has built a foundation. The sad part is that Asa. Coach he will only get hired on his wins and losses vice wha this real contribution was to the program. To me a team that is foundationally unstable should look to hire ray maybe as an assistant to rebuild the basic program but ADs want wins obviously but sometimes there's just more to it!

My 2 cents, adjusted for inflation 1.1 cents really

It really isn't that hard to kick people off the team.

By recruiting nothing but 3*'s most of whom had no other major D-1 offers?

He was the most unqualified coach I can remember getting a D-1 head coaching job at a decent basketball program. I don't blame Ray for his lack of success because he had a hell of a tough job to do when he came in and he had not been properly prepared before hand.
