Who is available that would be a better option than Johnson?
Reasonable candidates off the top of my head: Archie Miller(if we offer a Marshall type deal), Michael White, Bobby Hurley, TR Dunn(if we want to go NBA) etc.
There are tons of talented coaches out there. Hold a nationwide search were we bring in candidates and interview them.
Avery Johnson will be in over his head trying to recruit 16-18 year old kids against established college coaches who know how to talk the right game. Bill Battle has been an outright disaster

That's a very pessimistic view of the situation

Miller had no interest in the job.
TR Dunn LOL
Have you ever heard Avery Johnson speak? Do you honestly believe he won't be able to recruit? He may not be able to coach a lick in college - we'll find out. But recruiting isn't going to be something he will struggle with. He can walk into a kid's house and put him on the phone with NBA GM'S, show them his rings, and list his accomplishments as a player and coach in the NBA, and they'll ask him when they can sign.
TR Dunn LOL

You say Avery is a "terrible hire" then you proceed to list TR Dunn, that's funny. Should have a little knowledge before you start throwing around phrases like "terrible hire"
