Because any head coach was coming from lower ranks if they had not been previously fired. The least sketchy would have been Crean and there is little indication he had any interest in the job.
I don't disagree with promoting assistants. But all the assistants would have question marks. None have been on lists for head jobs. Why not?
Personally I think you read way too much into Alabama. If it means that much please explain guys like McDermott, Alford.

I apologize for all the complaining, but I am really upset by this hire.
Archie was not mentioned for any jobs either before he took over.
From what I have seen of him at Alabama, I think this was a poor hiring decision, I feel like he was only hired because he is an alumnus, his resume is not that strong IMO.
I feel like we have taken a definite step backwards.
We worked so hard to get to this point, and I feel like it has all been pi**ed away.
At least some of the other candidates that had no hc experience had an unknown ceiling.
I would have given the job to one of Archie's assistants. I also feel that a case could be made for John Brannen.
I would have also been ok with Whitford, Paulus, or Groce, since they are part of the Sendek tree.
Hopefully his time at VCU is more indicative of what we will get.
