Would you swap Wojo for Crean as our head coach. Effective immediately after the season was completed. With the provision that Stan is retained as an assistant.

No.  Can't go home again.  If he doesn't work out with Wojo, find someone new.

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

After THIS season, no.

Would be an interesting question if a year from now we are still struggling.

ADD "OTHER".....

Uhhh...NO

No way after this season.

If we have a bad year next season, I would probably be ready for Wojo to go, but we would have to be Shaka'd by a few guys before I might go after Crean.

Ax me some udder day. Fookin' pathetic exhibition today by coaches and players.

Should have had "Hell, no" as an option.

No. Rehiring a guy who left your for another job is not an acceptable option.

A different coach with Creans exact resume? Still no.

But if this rebuild ends in failure and we need to hire someone new... Maybe

So we're now gonna follow DePaul's lead!?!

I went back to the same well a couple times on the down low after I broke up with her. Nothing to be ashamed of.  Still would have broken up with her though.

No.

Just read the first person article Crean wrote in the current SI issue.  Though I have moved on and no longer bear him ill will,  I would not want him back.  I know what his ceiling is.   I think he will have a selection of jobs to choose from after the FBI dust settles.

Crean got wade and got us to a final 4. Wojo hasn't come close to either.

Crean never got close either in the 5 years after that......

Unless you are DePaul seeking a coach on the cheap.

If miller is out at Arizona, i think mu should try and hire him

Haha, no.

I don't think Crean should (or will) come back to MU.  However, having said that, what is the opinion of him as an actual coach since leaving MU?  Has he improved, regressed or remained exactly the same?  Reading a lot of Indiana forums last year, and watching many of IU games, many of the same struggles MU had (especially in his last years here) were constant at IU.

My guess would be, especially as an ESPN analyst this year, and doing many games, he has learned a bit from watching other programs and (hopefully) making adjustments to his strategies and schemes.

If the story is true, he will never coach college again.

How about a poll for whether you would swap Crean for Homer?

Dude, take yurr meds.  I get dat loosin to duhpaul is bad n stuff.  but wantin' I4 back at da Al is plain lunacy.  A'ina.

Itz only thurty tree daze until FFC day.  hang in der.

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.
