I don't care if Smith is selling candy bars as a fundraiser, he's still around. it can't help. That's an awfully large shadow to work under. And if they go outside of the "family" for their next coach, he's going to have his own ideas. They usually do.
If I'm hired as the new coach ANYWHERE, I'm sure as heck going to tell everyone it's MY program, as well. You think Pitino went into Louisville thinking any differently? I'm not comparing Doherty and Pitino's coaching abilities, but somebody's got to be in charge. Why not the head coach.
No, I don't know where Manning Street is, but does that keep me from expressing my opinion. And if you read the major sports sites, writers such as Andy Katz and Mike DeCourcy have similar viewpoints.
I realize he turn people off inside the athletic department. (I think that's what I said.) But, overall this wasn't handled properly. And anyone who thinks it was is wearing carolina blue colored glasses.
