Mitch Barnhart needs to go. Get a new AD in there. If this is the case and there's no other option. It's like we're getting Pat Riley to replace Eddie Sutton here. Scott Drew is a good coach and he turned a non-existent, on-the-brink-of-death program into a national champion. But there's more to it than that. Billy Clyde was a great coach. Terrible person who (at the time) was ruled by addiction. He let those addictions and a toxic personality ruin the his chance at the biggest stage possible. Tubby was a great coach but he couldn't keep up with the expectations and I'm leery of how he would have been in the one-and-done era.
I think Nate Oats is the play but he seems to be playing hard to get right now. I really, don't want it to be Scott Drew. I'll eat my words if it is and we're successful with him. I just don't see it being a good fit.
