Crazy Thought?

[Gamecockben1979]

I was referring to Holloway's tenure at Seton Hall. I don't think his hiring at St Peters is relevant to our hiring of a basketball coach here. Also the jury is still out on Beamer, Muschamp had always had decent first years but always ended on sour not. But again football hiring is still not relevant to basketball hiring.

Obviously everything is subjective, but it's hard to put argument as today why hiring a candidate with lot less experience and less success than another candidate being a good decision for USC.

Ok let’s make it relevant to basketball. This coach was on absolutely no one’s radar to hire when we hired him. No one. We hit the reset button on our entire program and we’re scared to pull the trigger on BJ McKie who is an assistant at a Power 5 school that’s shown significant improvement for a guy that’s won a handful of Southern Conference games.

Give me the legend who has his jersey in the rafters, not the one that played at Wooster. Give me the guy who is part of a staff that made significant improvement in the ACC, not the Southern conference. Give me the guy that knows the local community better, not Tennessee and Wisconsin. Give me BJ McKie.

I'm waiting on anyone to explain why we paid him $2.2 Million and his buyout at UTC along with a 65% buyout if released for no cause.

If we didn't have a candidate locked down then we probably should have kept what we had for another season. His buyout becomes less and it's hard to see where we come out in a worse situation.

The entire hire, like football the last two times, was nothing short of amateur hour
