This is equivalent someone hiring Fulmer in 2008. Except Fulmer had actually won something at some point in his career. At least it stays consistent with our hiring motto of, "If we can beat you then we'll hire you."
I'd say it's an acceptable hire considering the shite show that is our administration, but it's hardly exciting.

Given the limited pool of proven coaches and the outside perception of what a shite show this program has been since BBQ gate, I think it's a slam dunk hire.
We weren't getting Shaka, Marshall, or Archie. We're not a basketball school or have dump trucks of football money to entice you with and make you forget that you'll be living in Tuscaloosa. If you're Dave Hart what do you do? You just fricked up trying to shop in the discount aisle on your last hire and you paid the price. Your arse and the future of the program is on the line for this hire. Drop the ball on an Anthony Grant type mid major hire and you set the program even farther back another 5 years and most assuredly will be ostracized/asked to leave town. As you should be. I don't think he's the long term answer, but I think he brings stability and credibility back to the program immediately. He will leave us in a much better position to make a better hire once his tenure with us is complete.
Any coach whose been to the tournament 22 times, 5-6 Sweet Sixteens, 3 elite 8's, a final 4, won Big 12 COY 3x, and built every program that he's been to is good enough for me at this juncture.
Who would you rather we have hired given the circumstances?
