MCH Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you're like me, you're first thought is "Who??":cool: Not sure about this hiring but I hope I'm wrong. Leading a team to the NIT final isn't exactly a strong selling point. With Boone Pickens' money, sure thought we could've bought a higher profile coach.

Ford has winning records for two of three years. Boone's money is more of a curse than a blessing sometimes. Coaches know that if they don't produce immediate results, which is almost impossible, they'll be fired and more money thrown at someone else. I just hope they give him a fair shake.

Ben Agreed, I was about to write something similar when I read your post. Maybe the problem getting someone high-profile was Boone's money.
