Georgia is a gold mine for basketball and if he is the coach D-Wade say's he is McGarity may be the AD that presided over a dominating football and basketball team. It doesn't hurt to be optimistic.
@nycdawg: Love your passion. You sound like a DGD. But I commend to you the lyrics of "Jumper" from Third Eye Blind:
"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend"
I predict Crean will turn out to be a good hire. Some reasons:
1. Guy definitely has passion (see presser)
2. He is an offense-minded coach, and Lord knows we could use some offense
3. This article: https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2018/02/21/tom-crean-teaching-year-harbaugh-belichick-tim-grgurich-lebron-james-dwyane-wade
4. DWade believes in him and instantly became a Dawg fan
5. He is inheriting a more stable program and better players than he did when he went to IU
Let's give him a chance, Dawg Nation!
Tom Crean at Marquette - NCAA tourney in 5 of 9 years. 1 final four.
Tom Crean at Indiana - NCAA tourney in 4 of 9 years. 2 sweet sixteen.
Makes the tourney half the time. Has some success. He's an upgrade I think.
Don't know enough about all the other sports at UGA, but I feel McGaritty has done good where the football and basketball programs are concerned. Getting rid of CMR was a tough decision with his won-loss record and the respect he had gained for the way he ran his program. Getting Kirby made that decision look over-due, but who knows how it would have turned out with a different coach. Getting rid of CMF wasn't that tough of a decision, as his won-lost record wasn't enough to overlook the benefits of running the program the right way. Coach Crean definitely bring some much needed enthusiasm to the program and I hope Dawg Nation gives him the same support it has given Kirby.
