Hey, it's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately World now.

Ok...I know you're being facetious here but stop trying to compare a guy who has won two NCs in the last three years who is having a bad start to the year with a guy who cant get out of the first weekend not adjusting at all and struggling against any team with a pulse. If you're going to this, at least pick a better example than that...

Actually it’s a great example. Lose a lot of talent you are going to struggle early in the year.

Jay Wright has had more than his fair share of first weekend exits during his career.

He's really only had the two first weekend flameouts that matter. All of the other first weekend exits, Villanova wasn't expected to make a deep run. Besides, even pre-championships, Jay Wright was a much more accomplished coach in the NCAA Tournament.

Jay's first 12 years at Villanova = 2 Sweet 16's, 1 Elite 8, 1 Final Four
Mick's first 12 years at Cincinnati = 1 Sweet 16

To throw another contemporary into the mix:

Chris Mack's 9 years at Xavier = 3 Sweet 16's, 1 Elite 8
