Eh you can basically break college basketball down for non blue bloods like us like this.

Get a coach that can coral a lot of talent and wait for the cards to fall just right. Howland can do that and if we don't get dumb and fire him he will luck up over the next couple of years and have a roster that is blended well with upperclassmen and some talented younger guys and they will make a run.

As long as he keeps recruiting at a decent level we shouldn't get rid of him IMO. As others have stated if you fire him now we will be right back where we were before he was here. Let him coach out his last couple of years and ride off into the sunset. it will provide some stability and we will be set up well to make the next hire.

I don't understand how some of yall function day to day as negative as yall always are unless you just use this board to vent and are actually fairly normal the rest of the time. But man, I know I would be miserable if I was always a negative nancy.
