Is Jesus a candidate? Because I do think it would take a miracle to reach the heights that are expected by a lot of folks here. This is (IMO) a lot tougher structural situation to step into now than the one WG arrived at, which was still an SWC program and all. But no question we can be a significantly better program than we are.

I also continue to think a lot of "where we are" is traceable to WG hanging on too long and the toll it took on recruiting. Period. Not Bragga's fault, not JK's fault. WG's fault. Still deserves a statue and every accolade there is, don't get me wrong, but wasn't infallible.

With the program's decline bound to keep accelerating, we needed a "shock to the system" hire last time to have any chance of arresting it, but instead made a pretty conventional hire who probably had in mind a pretty typical multiyear plan to turn things around, which then got decimated by COVID. So now we're really in the ditch and IMO we need that shock to the system more than ever.
