You'd have fired most of the coaches who had the most tournament success this year. Says all I need to know about that sort of short-sighted thinking. That sort of thinking actively undermines program success. I'm not quite naive enough to believe it actually has anything to do with his paychecks either - doesn't matter how much he's getting paid, it doesn't affect anything at all other than our likelihood of keeping him around. You all would still be whining about him if he was making $500k a year, no question.
He can't last forever not winning enough in the tournament, obviously, but wanting to fire a guy who brought our program back to relevance because of one real upset in three tournament appearances is the most short-sighted, small-time thinking I've ever heard of. It's a great way to put us back at the starting line with an empty cupboard and no national relevance. Personally I like losing in the second round a whole lot more than I like watching the whole thing on TV.
My favorite thing was the one Loyalty guy who I saw insisting that Underwood's on the chopping block this year and we're going to get Musselman or Miller - same as when we got Smart or Stevens. We almost certainly will not get one of those guys.
