I'm not saying I want to hire him or not... but Militant is asking how many other programs are we in competition for his services?
Personally, I don't think anyone with a whistle can just turn this thing around.
So we want to wait on Eisley until he is no longer interested and we cant afford him.
The basketball turnaround is the most overrated thing about BC sports. By definition basketball is not hard to do a 180. Start by stop hiring boring guys from flash in the pan mid majors.
In six years, your post could as easily be: "Start by stop hiring boring guys from mid majors and first-time head coaches."
Let's be clear here. The way this a hometown discount is supposed to work is that a guy passes on better opportunities to help a program he loves. It's not that the program is supposed to give a shot to alums so that they can use it to cash a bigger check or act as a springboard for better things.
I doubt anyone here has a clue as to whether Howard can turn the program around (I have yet to see a single post of substance in support). Personally, I have no opinion. I do know (as of 3 years ago) he wanted the chance to take over the program. To that end, I think moving from the Knicks to Michigan put him in a better position.
