Same sentiment from me.  JB has been the coach of the team for my entire life.  I love the guy, warts and all.  I'm very appreciative of all of the success / enjoyment his product has given me over the years.

But like you, I also recognize that the program is at a nadir [relatively speaking], and things need to change before they improve.

I recognize that replacing an icon is tough, and while I certainly don't think that you could plug any old coach in and have them succeed, I think that the right candidate could turn things around.  Fast.  And in college hoops, adding even just one stud prospect to a solid nucleus [which I believe we have; this year's team is just too young / inexperienced] can deliver rapid turnarounds.

The right replacement could succeed, quickly, and set the program back on track.  The wrong candidate would set things back or not improve upon the status quo.

Opportunity, but there's also risk.  That shouldn't be a deterrent.
