Nice sarcasm on the Coach Wojo debate, or do you believe Tulsa deserves 7 more years of mediocrity.

It started out as sarcasm, 21472, but after looking at the "wish list," it turned into something of a decent idea in about two minutes.

Key Differences:
Doherty ever played in the NBA and was out of coaching for several years while on Wall St. Was a top asst for a few years and immediately hired on at a big time program as a HC. He never had to work his way through a small program to learn how to be a head coach and went immediately to Notre Dame where expectations are ridiculous and the media pressure even more ridiculous. Doherty had success at Notre Dame and then went to the land of impossible expectations in Carolina. If you don't win every year, you're on the chopping block. Nobody should judge Doherty's abilities on his SMU experience. SMU is a dead end job in basketball. You can't win at basketball at SMU. Facilities suck and there is no modern tradition at SMU.

Manning: successful NBA career, successful asst coaching stint developing post players, and by all accounts, a successful recruiter. TU is the perfect first step and not unlike when Tubby Smith was hired (I believe Tubby was a Kentucky assistant at the time TU hired him, after stops at VCU and So Carolina). I think Manning is ready for this. By all the chatter and the crashing of Twitter caused by the Manning hire, there is already a ton of excitement surrounding the TU program.

You can be a naysayer all you want, but Manning brings instant cred back to the TU basketball program, there's been an instant rejuvenation of the fan base, and I'm sure some TU recruits are thinking they might give a little more consideration to coming to school here. To me, that's a win.

Yep, there’s no risk for Manning.
IF he bombs @ TU
he could always go back to KU in some capacity

He’ll get the attention of recruits
But can he close the deal &
of course the unknown
How will he handle game day coaching,
especially when its close & under 2 minutes.

TU is in the position that it has the roll the dice
to hopefully hire someone who has a Huge up side

Does he realized how scrutinize he’ll be next year
What happens IF TU finishes around .500?

Is any coach available who has won a single, solitary NCAA tournament game? Or is TU relegated to the "others?"

TU picks new coach from "Others" list.
