We're a wrestling school1-0 baby
Pikiell (and staff) > Ash (and staff)
We made the Foley Bowl did we?At 6-0, this team is already exceeding my expectations. The last two wins made this team suck it up and play with heart. Nobody probably believes we will just rip through the BIG, but I now think we can push some of the teams around and maybe even pull off a real upset or two.
With football in the bowl and WBB absolutely terrible, we seem to finally have a team to really root for.
Pikiell and staff have it MUCH easier than Ash and staff..btw.
We are in good hands with both.
-----------Eddie Jordan was bad, a money grubbing fraud. Glad to see the BB program doing well even with a depleted roster. Goes to show you experience and coaching matter. It's still early but it looks like Hobbs at least got the BB hire right.
Dont get your hopes up on that one. We would need 18/19 wins for that, would love to see it. But we have yet to play anyone in the top 180 teams...Expect NIT in March.

a bit harsh....don't know if I would go that far.... I would say that Eddie truly loves RU, his coaching here was a dream job for him
He was not up to the task..... I felt sorry, but felt it necessary, for him to be fired..... but he always cherished his time here.

What exactly am I wrong, about?
Think you can see that Eddie did have an eye for talent. Like Ash his downfall was not hiring or relying upon good experienced assistants.
--------I respectfully disagree. It was his dream job because it paid him a million a year..Laziest coach I ever observed.
Which is why I say Pikiell has it easier. He came into a team that had talent butv was poorly coached. Ash inherited a poorly coached team that's severely over matched in talent level. plus, in general, much easier and quicker rebuild a hoops program.
You had Hicks, Martin and Goodwin, i.e. talent, and instead ran the QB in the seminal moment/drive of the season against Iowa. That's coaching.
+1, and don't forget Wrestling.At 6-0, this team is already exceeding my expectations. The last two wins made this team suck it up and play with heart.
