I think "great" coaches do not want to move to a rebuild situation.

Auburn and South Carolina didn’t hire coaches coming off a national championship at a program that was rolling
Georgia can certainly land a good coach, someone like Drew isn’t happening

This feels like the Gregg Marshall to Alabama story a few years ago, minus the crazier than a sprayed roach wife and impending abuse scandal.

So then what are the expectations?

That depends on if we try to get an elite coach, doesn’t it?

Since NIL, Drew has realized that you can do the same $$$monitary$$$$$$ things at a public university that a private school can do.
If he doesn't go to Georgia, he is a bigger fool than we think.

So you expect multiple final fours right off the bat?

Atlanta is just down the road, all of these guys *want* to play for UGA they just haven't had the right coach in place.

Why would anyone? There is no reason to be unrealistic.

You got to have some history, fan support mixed with the coaching to make any grounds. When Muss took the job at Arkansas, it was because of the history and the passion. Could Muss do just as good at Georgia as he is doing at Arkansas? Yes but he would struggle to convince many recruits at first that Georgia is taking basketball more seriously. It just isn't on the list of recruits that would go to. This is why they need an above average coach to break those type of barriers and reputation.

But if you hire an elite coach then high expectations must come with it right?

Yes, but built realistically. You aren’t being realistic with these posts.

The fan support is there, but the administrative support has not been. The few flashes of good teams we had when Harrick was there proves that. Basketball games were selling out and it was crazy at those home games. Hire the right coach and you'll see a completely different program emerge.

If the fan support was there then Georgia would be a lot better in basketball decades ago regardless of the administration.

Support only comes with wins. This has been proven time and time again at uga.

Scott Drew is not leaving Baylor to take over a program that has never shown a commitment to the sport he coaches. No matter what league Baylor is in, he will continue to have the Bears relevant on a national level.
Oklahoma and Texas leaving the Big 12 will not tarnish the reputation of the league in basketball. Kansas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU, and Iowa State will still remain. They will add good historical basketball program in Cincinnati, and a decent one in BYU. It will still be a top 4 national basketball league.
Whoever wrote that has a football thinking skill set and not a basketball one.

Mulkey has connections with Louisiana. Drew doesn't have it with Georgia.
Are you fricking retarded?

Auburn and South Carolina hadn’t won in the past either and it didn’t stop them from going out and hiring good coaches and making final four runs. Look at Florida’s history before ‘94. There is literally nothing to indicate Georgia can’t do that.
As with any program, it takes the right coach, and if the school has the resources and the administration is willing to make the investments into the program, they can get the right coach. Those are literally the only barriers to entry.

Georgia is an underrated basketball job and a couple of SEC coaches anonymously said it’s a Top 3 job in the SEC.
Completely delusional.

It is believed that Drew may lack faith in the future of the Big 12 Conference, and may not want to continue coaching in the league with Oklahoma and Texas leaving and BYU, Cincinnati, UCF and Houston entering
He's not wrong. The SEC and Big Ten schools with big football revenue and deep pocket boosters will start to win more basketball recruiting battles because they can shift nearly all their booster funds toward NIL while still maintaining top facilities and coaching salaries with tv revenue. The smaller leagues will need to use their booster funds just to keep paying the day to day expenses. In the new NIL era, the more you can afford to shift booster money directly to player pockets, the more you will win.
