We won't want him fired? I don't know
That's fair. But you must remember JP wasn't going to fire GMAC after those 4 seasons. Do you consider what he did "well"? Because I've been told way too many times the last few seasons that with the right roster 24 win seasons was underachieving. Was told 12 conference wins was underachieving. Was told conference tourney championships mean nothing. Was told Sweet Sixteen births mean nothing if you get an easy draw. Was told losing in the first round of the NCAA is unacceptable............unless it's UAB.
So all this stuff we've been told over the years.....okay, fine. We just got rid of that guy to hire someone who will do "well"? Then no matter, I'm looking for "well" over 24 conference total wins. "Well" over 12 conference wins. "Well" over Sweet Sixteen births and "well" over never..EVER losing in the first round of the NCAA!
And if he can't accomplish those things because hey........"he didn't have as good of roster as Steve"........then what's the point? Because he obviously can't recruit................."well".
