Where are the hypocrites?

And it may have been (especially since his teams arguably got screwed over by the Selection Committee a couple times), but at the end of the day, if you're not at least semi-regularly making the only tournament that matters, you're not a relevant college basketball team. As great as the Sweet 16 run was, JL wasn't able to get us there his last 5 years (or even anywhere close the last 4), so I understood the administration's decision to move on. I think I was on record at the time saying I'd have given him one more year to get back on track, but in retrospect, I think it would have just delayed the inevitable.

Whether Geno is the answer is obviously a completely different story. I've seen very little over the last 3 years that makes me believe he is, but I think he was always going to get a minimum of 4 years, and I'm hoping he makes the most of this season.

I agree on Les. From an outsiders perspective, it would have made more sense to fire him a year earlier. With the patchwork team he had to work with his final year, seems like it would have been tough for anyone. I would have fired him a year earlier or let him stay with more of a full team to judge him. That's from an outsider's perspective. Now, if JL made his bosses mad or something similarly insubordinate that we are not privy to, it might have made perfect sense to fire him. We will never know.
