What makes Fran so "unique" as you allege?  His previous head coaching record compared to Red's?

Interesting that you mention the word "context" especially as it relates to UConn.  This place has been obsessed with UConn for years, not to mention their alleged projected doom by many after being left at the alter.   I don't think anyone around here needs much "context" when it comes to UConn, their plight, etc. as most are quite familar.

Additionally, on that "context" again, when Drew took over at Baylor, that program was in complete shambles due to the scandal, but no mention of that in your "5 years for Drew to make the tournament."

I agree that "guys wanna play for winners."  Oates had success at UB prior to Alabama, Hurley the same at his stints at Wagner and Rhode Island.  Drew, another son of a successful coach, had success, albeit left after just one season, at Valpo.

In regards to these three aforementioned head coaches, I agree folks shouldn't compare Red to them as they all had a degree of prior success at the head coaching level.
