That just isn't even close to true in any way, shape or form. A national search led to Dick Mcpherson, Greg Robinson, Doug Marrone (he was not the front runner at all, just so happened to be a former syracuse player who showed up with a 200 page playbook), Dino Babers and Fran Brown.

AD: Darryl Gross and Mark Coyle were both national searches.

And BBall never needed a national search because Boeheim was there for 48 years and Autry was a pretty accepted hire at the time.

A national search doesn't equal national relevance. It is still a game between 2 teams, 1 team always wins, 1 team always loses. Success is never guaranteed before, during or even after hire. Sometimes you can hit a grand slam with the guy who is threatening to leave for the University of Rochester if not hired. Sometimes the national search sets you back 20 years with GROB (RIP). If we hired Nick Saban tomorrow, would that be considered a national search?

This post should be nominated and ultimately win 2026 post of the year. Let the rational likes and loves commence.
