Poll: Would You Swap Wojo For Crean?

[Billy Hoyle]

Time to go the head coach route (if/when if happens). I'd rather have a successful head coach from the Horizon, Valley, A-10 or somewhere else than another assistant, especially one from a program where there is a track record of mediocrity or failure for their first jobs.

As long as we are very selective.   Dukiet was head coach at St Peter’s

And Deane. Both were "successful" head coaches from mid-majors. Collectively, they won just under 58% of their games at MU.  And they both had a downward trajectory.

Raymonds, Majerus, O'Neill and Crean had no previous college HC experience.  Collectively, those guys won over 65% of their games at MU.  Only Raymonds had a downward trajectory.  Majerus was slowly improving, O'Neill was rapidly improving, and TC was up and down.

I left out Buzz, who had HC experience at a mid-major, but was not "successful" in his brief tenure.

Advantage: long-time assistants, at least since Al.
