Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 2864671, member: 210"] We did a damn good job with that approach with Babers... he was not really on any of the bluebloods radars when we hired him. And no Missouri is not a blueblood in college football like we are in hoops. It's not about the resume, it's about getting the perfect fit like we did w/ Dino. I want that under the radar coach who would be the best coach for the program... like the dude from Loyola or the Buffalo coach (tho he's a dick so please not him) or any one of the numerous up and coming guys out there. I'd love to see a list of coaches who went from a strong program to an elite one and actually succeeded: Calipari, Roy, Self, Howland (before he self-destructed)... Bennett (actually would we have considered him to be worthy of an elite job?), the sweaty guy from Arizona, anyone else? [/QUOTE]
