He sucks? Really. Had a pretty damn good record and accomplished more here than about anyone else. Jirsa sucked. Herrion sucked. Dan? He might not be coach K but he definitely doesn't suck. Some of you have very short memories with basketball and it's success here. Name more than 1 coach that cheated in huck, that's done better in the last 50 years and support your argument. Good luck.
I don't think Dan "sucks"
BUT... We are at the same crossroads with him that we were with Doc Holliday. The two are very similar. After Snyder we needed someone to come in and stabilize the program, bring some expectation and relevancy back to the program. Doc did that. But, it became clear that his peak (The Cato Years) was over and he wasn't capable of getting us back there or sustaining that level of success. So It was time to make a change to try and find a person to build on that foundation that Holliday rebuilt and take us to the next level. Unfortunately, with the hiring of Huff we got the wrong guy and ended up with someone that if we don't cut ties with fast, will not only not build on Holliday's foundation but will take us backwards.
With Dan it's much the same... After the last few years of Herrion, we needed someone who could come in and give us some stability and respectability as a program. Dan was successful in that, but it has also become crystal clear that he is also past his peak (The Elmore Years) and isn't capable of getting us back there or sustaining that level of success. So we are at the same crossroads we were with Doc, it's time to let Dan go and go find someone who can build on what Dan has accomplished and take us to the next level. Or we run the risk of Dan destroying his own foundation. Dan has been far from awful but he's also proven to not be real good either.
Doc and Dan have different flaws, but the results are much the same.
