Duquesne, some felt he would have been the better hire. They got off to a early wining record and caught people's eye. Right now they are on a downward spiral. Those early wins were against easier teams which didn't prepare them for A10 play.
On the other hand AG early schedule netted a good sos and has toughened the team for the stretch run. If we just had a couple bench players contributing our starters could get a blow now and then.
