Gustav All-American

His w/l record is comparable to that of coaches hired by solid P5 programs. He lacks a sexy tournament win but given what he inherited and the fact he's in a one-bid league, it doesn't seem like a big strike against him.

Based on his other jobs maybe

Maybe because the candidate pool is so small?

If we play defense like that without killing the offense

And the coach before that sucked for 7 years before that.

Defensive ratings and efficiency numbers have definitely improved.

When, where, why and how much? Again, the OP accuses Pope of not being a good

People just want a new face even if the results are worse. Look at football

Mr. Scoobs

He is significantly more experienced and proven than Rose and Cleveland were at
