So, 3 years removed from Providence to the Final four and coming off a divisional championship in the NBA. He would have absolutely been a good candidate.
    Well it all seems to really come down to whether someone is successful here or if they aren't. If they aren't, anyone can look back and pull out a reason that should have been a red flag for any coach. If they are successful here, then nobody bothers to look back.

    My main point in this thread is that Pope hasn't been given long enough yet. If next year doesn't go well, I'll be in the camp that it's time to consider moving on. But he is not anywhere close to that yet.

        I agree but I am losing my patience. I still say give him next year and if it isn't a huge improvement then I say we move on. Hopefully Mitch will be gone by then too.

            This is close to where I'm at.

                Yeah, Barnhart needs to be put into retirement this summer. It'd be pointless to get rid of Pope if Barnhart has his hand in another hire. He is not a good AD for this new era.
