Year 1 is already down the tubes. KA probably gets at least 3, if we suck that entire time he'll be gone. Program will be in rough shape, and candidate pool will be slim. Even if we do make a good hire, it will take him 2-3 years to rebuild. That's 6-7 years wandering in the wilderness right there. If the next hire isn't good...well, you get the picture.

Let's hope KA can somehow turn this around.

I have spoken with a couple of ex players recently. They have been around the team some. They seem to think that we haven't seen KAs system yet.
Was told he has focused on culture, working hard, and fundamentals more than a strategy to win.
Seems next year is the first year for us to see what his long term philosophy and coaching ability is really about.
Hope that they are right.

There's alot of assumptions in your post. KA might not get year 3 if the shite storm continues, nothing is guaranteed with this new AD (his record shows that). Suitcase Mike had a winning record his first year here, and by year 3 had a 30 plus win season.

Point being, I just don't buy into the "sky is falling" surrounding the program if KA fails. We have a decent basketball history, in an average basketball conference.

We all agree this season has been embarrassing and not acceptable, but I tend to have alittle more faith in turning things around instead of the doom and gloom outlook, but that's just me.
