Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2095825, member: 837"] I don't know if that's a dig on Hop or not b/c who knows how he'll do. What I agree with, however, is that replacing legends is something that is extremely tough to do. UNC stumbled post-Dean with Gut/Doherty, Esherick struggled post JTII, Mahoney never won 20 after Carnesecca, Stallings is struggling in a big way post Dixon (maybe not really a legend but 328 wins in 13 years will be hard to top) ... bottom line is that it's not easy. For all the warts JB has -- some are way overblown, others are very real -- his record speaks for itself and anyone who even approaches what he has brought in terms of consistency and continued success would be a huge success. Not sure people realize that as fun as it is to dream on (insert hot young coaching candidate's name), there is every bit as much of a chance of the program falling off as there is of us taking any sort of step forward. It's the reality. [/QUOTE]
