Your work is consistently astounding.

I disagree with one of the original premises/assertions, though.

I don’t think that is true. There has never even been a replacement candidate discussed with enough confidence to even begin to discuss whether any specific or general problems would be solved, and no one can reasonably suggest the next coach won’t have any problems.

The surest candidate we have had was Hopkins, and no one knew how attached he would have been to JB’s systems and methods. When discussing anyone else, from the inside… same thing. From the outside, Oats seems to have been the most hyped option, but that wouldn’t dissolve our sanctions history ;) or the oft-expressed sense that we are a fish out of water in the ACC, or that we can’t/won’t pay enough to retain someone who does succeed, or… whatever.

This is an impressive set of statistics. But so much of it doesn’t seem to relate specifically enough to our situation. Citing Southern Mississippi, for example—that’s a ‘data point,’ but what happened there also has no relevance to our context.

Either way, it’s all innerestin. 15 years from now, we can revisit this to see how we did fit into it. Thanks for all the ‘conversation pieces!’
