The only thing that matters here are titles. That is it. Dead stop. If you can’t provide one at least every 8-10 years you need to GTFO

Hindsight is 20/20.

Better question for everyone saying to ax him in 2018 and what everyone needs to think about before we start naming who we'd like to replace him: how are (or were) you going to handle the finances of the firing/buyout and who are (or were) you realistically going to be able to hire with what you have remaining?

I was one of the people saying Chris Beard years ago... I think we can all see how that might have been a train-wreck given how he fared in Austin and what the pressure cooker that is the UK job did the last time we hired a coach away from a mid-tier basketball school in Texas.
