If Howland's all that, why hasn't someone hired him since he was fired at UCLA?
Well there's a pretty obvious black cloud over him with whatever issues he had there.
It takes a program in a unique situation to go out on a limb for him.
With the move to the SEC, higher expectations with mediocre results, I think we definitely fit the bill of that unique situation.

I would add that of the 4 or 5 high-profile openings, we probably are in the best position financially combined with the best context.
Cal was probably a non-starter cuz Howland burned all his AAU bridges there. Tenner has money problems and was looking for an up and comer/sacrificial lamb. That leaves Wake and Marquette. Howland was apparently a finalist for the Marquette job. Not sure why Wake didn't take a look.

'Unique situation'? Is that code for desperate?
