I think the point is, the money is there, and that is enough for plenty of the bigger names out there. Any anyone with any sense knows, of course, that it will never be on par with football, but a coach who gets that team to the dance with consistent Sweet 16 appearances will have a fairly rabid fan base behind them.
Any team in the SEC outside of Kentucky and Florida will likely struggle to make consistent Sweet 16 appearances.

Yep. I don't think we have unrealistic expectations.
- Consistently make the NCAA tournament (70-80% of the time)
- once every 3-4 years be in the hunt for the conference title (and in turn a 4-8 type seed)
- win most of your home games
- develop players
I think a coach with any confidence would look at our current roster, our money, our conference, etc and say "I can do that there". Gottfried did it until his personal life fell apart and he lost focus. Wimp did it. We will pay Top 25 level salary. It shouldn't be a hard sell.
We aren't demanding Final Fours and National Titles here.
