Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4825445, member: 237"] So it's impatience at its core be it specific to Red or not. It makes him the object of that impatience in being the coach and the guy the criticism is directed at. I don't see Wrights salary being within the means you state. There is an inaccurate perception of the money available not to mention the money and resources such a coach would demand. You better believe anyone like Wright or Pitino is going to expect a lot more assurance in NIL to take this job not to mention a big check. Then you have to work the politics of going to a temporary hired gun. That's easier said than done and this was litigated in the coaching discussions prior to JB announcing his retirement. There's a lot of us who put money towards the school- we watched how that has worked out with football.. not good. Also it's not like there isn't precedent for going the non experienced route at big programs. I'm looking at this as to give it time for Red to build the team and program as he sees it. We should see a vision this year (maybe some success), major improvement and some success( tournament minimum) the next year and then the return to that standard coming by year 3. That's a fair shot to give a coach. So when I talk patience I'm saying its the program but there is no way around it being patient with Red and letting his vision come together. Remember with Red specifically that a large portion of this team knows him as their assistant coach and confidant and that has now just changed but in reality that doesn't flip a switch. As he has guys who only know him as HC- that helps build upon what he can do this year and the kids that buy in. You have challenges whatever route you go with a coaching change. [/QUOTE]
