No, I am OK with them hiring Cox, but I would like to know who else is interested. If there is somebody great out there that is interested, then I might want them instead, there is no sense in boxing yourself in.
The process of replacing Hurley might go very quickly. Wright State, several years ago, named Donlon as hc 1 or 2 days after Brownell left, which was a mistake IMO. They should have left the job open for a week or 2 to see who else was interested.
I think it is probably a mistake for any school to just immediately name one of the assistants as the replacement.
I would have also been OK with hiring Dambrot or maybe Amaker, to replace Archie. I never saw much chatter about candidates, other than the list Mark Adams put out.
And we do not even know if Dambrot and/or Amaker were interested.
I just did not like the Grant hire.
And so what if people on here did not like one of Archie's assistants to be the guy, it is not like people on here are infallible. Everybody on here was behind the BG hire, and look how that turned out. BG was hired prior to my joining this board.
Adams' list:
