Why is it all going wrong? Is it really the coaching or the talent or a combination of both? From a coaching perspective, could a creative and top notch coach such as the likes of Pitino, Hurley, Oats, Self, Smart etc. figure out how to make this roster work?

We've seen coaches go to a team and motivate the players and instantly make the team better and competitive even if the win/loss column isn't good. It's the fight, competitiveness and the noticeably desire to give it all and improve that is impressive, which I do not see with this team.

If at some point we move on from Coach Red, it is imperative that we go outside of "the family" and bring in a veteran top notch respected coach.  We are not a program that kids are clamoring to go to because of recent success such as Duke, North Carolina or Kentucky. Those schools can hire from within because other than Coach Pope, Davis and Scheyer were assistants to legendary coaches whose programs were strong and vibrant when they took the helm. They were groomed in a winning culture. We need a fresh start with a coach that can build something at the level of the teams I mentioned, and when he retires, only then we can select an assistant or associate coach from "the family" to take the helm.
