I think his success has more to do with Phil Knight and that massive pile of Nike money than his actual coaching ability
would Dana have been able to lure top recruits to Illinois with small time thinker FURG at the helm? probably not
Agreed. We can play “what if” all day long, but the circumstances are way different here than there. Even more so at that time. I don’t think a guy like Altman gets the recruits here like he can at a place like Oregon. Nike has a whole lot to do with his success there imo.
But honestly, who the fuck cares. Hypotheticals are pointless. It didn’t happen. Move on. Damn this is so redundant. And somehow Tempo is gonna try to claim he’s “right” somehow in this thread eventually.
