We aren't asking him to win a national championship. We'd just like to make the tournament and maybe win a game there which hasn't happened in a decade.


OK, fair enough. I still think you would have better luck with Tubby. But if Ga fans are happy, that's good for me.

There isn't anything wrong with Crean besides being alittle nutty. He is a pretty good coach.

Tubby is 66 and can't recruit anymore. Love the guy, but he's not getting anymore power 5 jobs.

If this was 2000 Tubby would've been a better hire

That's a lot of money for Crean. The important number is the buyout after year 2.

Hiring retread coaches who got fired from other major programs has already worked out very well for Auburn, MSU, and Tennessee. Hopefully we have similar success.



UGA is where programs turn to find those retreads. ADs do not hold it against any coach for not being successful at UGA in BB.

For that jack you could have hired Bill Self.

Once Matta's people leaked that we'd offered him $3.2 per year I figured we'd have to offer Crean the same type of deal.

Could be interesting. Things we stale on him at IU the last year, could be a fresh new start for him and Ga.

Good hire.

He's good but his fanbase at IU outright hated him, to an extreme degree. Probably not his fault, he's just kind of socially awkward and weird, and the results had tapered off a bit. But for Georgia he should do well.

Congrats on the hire Dawgs. I mean that. I think he's got a lot left in the tank and is going to be a definite improvement over whatever the hell Fox was doing.
