What does this hire mean?

I heard a guy on the radio saying that Missouri State is losing their best players and will be rebuilding next season. That's pretty much what happened to Dooley after taking LaTech to a bowl game. Maybe there's more to it but they look similar to me in terms of experience.


edit: Are most/many of those who are endorsing the new hoops coach people who thought Pearl should've been fired in the Fall? Is that part of it?

I think they're reasonably similar hires and made for many of the same reasons. I don't know if Dooley ever gets anywhere, but I'm happy to have been wrong about him. I like what he's about.

I'm not in love with this hire, but don't think it ranks anywhere near where much of the banter on here implied. I think the guy's a winner and like his approach to basketball and life in general.

I don't think this is about people who wanted Pearl gone sooner. I say that because nobody is vested in the AD and has any real belief in the administration / AD to get something right.

Thanks for the insights folks.

As long as he's not serving them to recruits at this house

...or at least he's smart enough not to lie about afterwords.
