I’ve been in the Red needs 3 years camp, but I just deserted.  We’re going no place but downhill fast.  The only question in my mind is what can we do to stop the slide before it becomes an avalanche.

I’ve seen a lot of speculation about the Colgate coach, or the Arkansas St cosch, but in my mind that’s the wrong way to go.  We need a new coach to do essentially four things: Retain the current talent, particularly Freeman and Moore.  Continue our hs recruiting at the current level.  Use the portal to bring in proven D1 level talent. And, in order to do the above things, excite and activate the fan base and more particularly the nil donor class.

To do that, I feel we need a coach with a proven track record and a rep.  Someone who will excite the big money guys.  I hate Pitino and Pearl with a burning passion, but that’s the kind of guy we need.  Hire another mid-major guy and I fear we’ll be wandering in the desert like the Israelites for severa more years, and I’m too old for that.

I know the question is how could we afford it.  Wish I had an easy answer.  Maybe consult with Melo and Lala.  Maybe go hat in hand to Weisman.  Maybe go to every alum worth  million or more and beg.  But if we want to be relevant in this decade, we need to do something dramatic.

End of rant.
