But its more of the same. AK/Rod Barnes/Rob Evans/Stans/Howland are all essentially the same coach. They all proved that decent coaches (either floor coaches or recruiters) can produce bubble teams in Mississippi.
AK may actually be better than Stans in CUSA - but we also know their history in the SEC. Bringing in AK is more of the same for MSU
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

I was just wondering since the thought just popped into my head. Never had hit me until then.

Without being able to recruit, you get 'Rick Ray!'
Without recruits like Dampier & Dante Jones (thanks to Stans & Kirby) you never get to F4!
You have to do both to win in the SEC!

There's no improvement going from Howland to Kennedy. If a 7-year period with 1 (or 2) NCAAs and 4 (or 3) NITs doesn't cut it, why would a 12-year period with 2 NCAAs and 6 NITs?

You are completely discounting the difference in competing in various conferences and acting like its all the same. AK failed in the SEC, and seems to be having some early success in the CUSA. That's the end of the story. There is no AK deserves back in the SEC. Good luck to him and Stans.
