Not saying JOB was any good because I hated the hire then as i still do, but maybe it was more of a change was what was needed at the time.
Not sure I would say Negel didn't live up to his expectaions until his fifth year. His stats seem pretty good the other three years as well.

Yeah, his stats were good but for some reason that didn't translate to living up to expectations back then. But his senior season is what made him stand out from the pack.
But I totally agree with you on DD, it was time to go another direction, fair or not. And I doubt he would've had the success in 1989-1990 that JOB had because the key to that success was the uptempo and 3 point game that was polar opposite of DD's style.
