Harrick won a dance game and had uga in position to win a few more when the plug got pulled.
Fox hasn't won a dance game but the program is no doubt better than it was when he arrived.
Why not aim to do what we have a history of doing 4 times in a row?
I'm not sure why winning a tournament game is some great barometer of success. 12 and 13 seeds win those regularly. Not sure that's the best measure. Getting to the second weekend is a much more substantial accomplishment.
Harrick cheated his arse off. Is UGA going to let the new coach do that?
If we make no bigger changes, this isn't going get any better without cheating again. Basketball is a dirty game. If UGA's going to be successful at it, we're going to need to do something a lot bigger and flashier than hiring some random mid-major coach.

Durham led us to final 4, tubby was a last second shot from elite 8, and chances are we at least make sweet 16 under harrick.
For us, simply winning one dance game would be a sign of progress, but it would also put us into position to accomplish more.
And no, harrick didn't cheat his arse off.
And no, we wouldn't necessarily have to settle for a mid major coach if we aimed higher.

wait a sec. I could be wrong but I thought reading through this thread you were one of the ones that were in favor of keeping fox, right? So the anti-foxers are saying "hey, we don't want final 4, let's just take the next baby step and win a tourney game"...and you're saying that's not even a good mesaure? That we should be making sweet 16s? Maybe it's still early but I'm not really following that line of thinking.

Can you name anything Harrick did to gain a competitive advantage on the court? Harrick gave his current players easy As in a PE class (kinda like how any other normal student in a PE class passes if they just show up on the first and last day of class) and paid some phone bills. It's not like he was handing out a couple grand to recruits to sway them here. But aside from that, no UGA shouldn't let a new coach cheat. The great thing is that it doesnt' require cheating to be able to do better than we currently are.

The fox-supporters keep saying this and it's not rooted in any reality. People keep saying that we have zero hope of being a good program if mcgarity is still here, or stegeman is unchanged, or yadda yadda. Guys...none of us are talking about 20 years down the road. We're talking about 2-3 years. A better coach (and rest assured there are a multitude of better coaches than Fox) is the first step. To think that getting a better coach won't change anything is simply ignorant.
