Maybe there's something there or maybe ADs are being super careful but I'd love to know why he's been so toxic lately.
Yeah. I wonder if there's some "common knowledge" out there in the industry that's worse or at least more of the same about Howland.

I would honestly love to know because he should've been hired multiple times, especially with a desire to get back in AND no buyout to pay. What I have read indicates he lost control of his teams (let stars really mistreat his own staff and never came to their aid), tended to be lazy (he would cut out early on practices before they were done), likely bought AAU players (even according to UCLA homers tho that was never proven), and was in the midst of slight coaching performance/record based slide when he left.
Still you can't trust everything you read and who knows what's really truth. Hell, a lot of times what's reported is BS and the truth whether it's good or bad remains utterly unknown to the public. It's just strange so many have refused to hear him or passed given the totality of what IS known for sure. Plenty of programs often take risks on coaches who have good records but who might've fricked up or even landed in serious NCAA trouble so why not Howland?
ETA: Further UT hired Bruce Pearl who had no great record and a shady past that pissed off the NCAA so much most thought he'd never land a major job and we're hardly alone in forgiving up and comers. Howland's no up and comer. He's proven. I just think something more is going on with Howland.
