As we saw with football and Coach Fran, it is entirely possible to bring on a new, outside guy, AND retain the croots you want to retain.

Would it be a given that we could retain the '25 class guys, with a sufficiently not-turrible new coach hire?

Nope.

But given the fact that it seems almost irrelevant who and how good any future croots may be, if the current coaching staff can't utilize their talents properly, and build a competitive team around them.  
NONE of the '25 class guys are generational talents, or even realistically top 10 type croots who you can feature as the Alpha on a given team.

Rutgers had the FOURTH ranked class w/ TWO top-5  5* recruits on their current squad. 
How's that working out for them??

We aren't seeing ANYTHING from Red & crew that leads us to think there's any plan, any identity, any anything to build upon or even have any sense of optimism about.

When Danny Hurley started at UConn, they sucked for the first 2 seaons, but - 
There was clearly a plan, a style, and a process they were implementing, and - 
they got better over time.

We keep regressing.

I cannot see any scenario whereby Red comes back next year, and we improve in any meaningful way.

So, we should rip the bandaid off now (at the end of the season, if not even sooner), and get started with the process of a proper NATIONAL SEARCH, to then identify and interview the BEST possible candidates, and then hire the best one.
