All of those guys are great. The reason it doesn't make sense to compare SU to them specifically with regards to transfers and NIL, the topic being discussed, is that they all were having success prior to NIL and the portal becoming significant and can leverage that prior success. If JB hadn't let things slide like he did, and we hadn't been an annual bubble team for a decade, it would be a better comparison.

If you want to expand the discussion to other topics, as it seems you do, you're right. Those guys had prior success before getting their jobs and have done great at their current stops. We don't know yet if Red is going to be successful, but it's stupid to say he should be canned for not making the tournament in two years, given what he was left. You can criticize his recruiting as an assistant except he was hampered by JB, as has been discussed ad nauseum on here. Insiders were talking about JB getting lazy on the recruiting trail nearly 10 years ago. The head coach has the biggest influence. Kids want to see and talk to him, not just his assistants.

So, if you think making knee jerk decisions is what makes sense, that's cool. You're entitled to that opinion. I agreed with the guy that said three years is a fair length of time to give a new coach.
