And I'm curious if the OP can list a single better potential hire. Because I can't think of a viable candidate that is a better hire.

I would have rather had Marshall, Barnes, OR Smart, but there was no way we were gonna even try for Smart just because we wouldnt try to get 2 VCU coaches in a row knowing how well the first one panned out. I think Smart is better than Grant, though I understand not going after him like we did Marshall.
