Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 2988370, member: 86"] The one element of our job that is very difficult to gauge is that it hasn’t been open since 1976. Let me repeat that. Nineteen seventy-six. There is no history of recent hires. No history of how our administration would react to a losing season. No history of how much leash we would give a new coach if they struggle. Our fans think it’s a great job because we’ve been a borderline blue blood for 30 years now. We have a ring, great fan support and home court advantage. Great history. Lots to attract interest. But JB’s salary is a bargain and his zone is so part of not only him, but the program: I think a lot depends on how these next couple of years unfold. There would be a LOT of pressure on a new coach if the “winning season streak” is still in tact. God help a new coach that ruins that in his first season. [/QUOTE]
