he had a chance to keep Admon, add Grimes and Blackshear and he went 0-3. There were a couple other grad transfers that he struck out on as well. If he had added one of the 3 we could have been decent and the transition year would have been positive like Jimbos first year.
But he knows he gets a free pass but he better be careful because if it looks really bad like it did tonight he will have an uphill climb. You can always tell a good coach because the team looks better immediately. Gillespie is a good example. We went to the NIT our first year. on a team that went 0-16 the year before.
He didn't add any top notch assistants which is a little bit of a red flag as well. Personally I would prefer less youtube stuff and 30 minute press conferences and roll up your sleeves and bust your ass. Find good players and coach them up. Basketball is the easiest of the major sports to turn it around. But with the looks of things we are staring down a 13-19 type year at best.
