Fran’s replacement

Just remember, Fran did inquire about the open Notre Dame job.

Was that ever published publicly from a reputable source or just internet rumor? I remember it being posted around here like fact, but I never remember seeing anything beyond rumor that Fran had interest in that job opening.
 
That's exactly right 15 years is plenty of time to see what type of coach and program this is. If you look at the top 12 teams right now in college basketball most if not all are defensive minded coaches. This is the style that wins on the road. We need a coach that can recruit, coach defense, and have his team playing it's best basketball in March! None of these attributes scream Fran! Sorry but he has had his time!
Why the hell wouldn't Fran hire a D minded assistant with ties to a recruiting region we want for his final few year run? The logic of standing Pat and drifting as a team like they have makes zero sense to me.

It still comes down to players I get it this year team is Iowa nice but you need some freaking dogs that can get after it! I watched St John’s last night and man they may not be able to shoot the ball very well from the perimeter but they can get to the rack hit free throws while putting the clamps on you! He just doesn’t have the right type of athleticism to be making March runs!
