re: Was Rick Ray the worst basketball hire in SEC history?

Rick Ray is on his own level similar to Ed Orgeron and Curley Hallman in football

I could see a fair comparison of Ray and Orgeron as they were both unknowns and essentially came out of nowhere when they were hired. Curly Hallman was quite successful at USM and should have been a good hire - on paper. Turned out that he was in over his head at a big time program but you really can't know that going in. You know what they say about hindsight.
But Ray was only a place holder until we could out live the Stansbury mess. Now don't go saying you thought it was a mistake to get rid of Stansbury when we did. You might have been the last to come around but even you admitted it was time for Stansbury to go. Remember that?
