Exactly.
We did just this when LSU hired Johnny Jones away and we decided to hire a hot recruiter named Tony Benford from Marquette. That worked out great, as we watched our entire basketball program burn down over the next 5 years.
Look, I like Scott Cross, just because I've seen him do what we want to see the next coach do, which is win conferences and have a strong identity. But I'd be sati if we stayed in-house and hired from within. I watched Tulsa have like 4 or 5 coaches hired away in a row in the 90s because of continuity and leadership within their university. We'd love to see this happen here.
I think he's too old, 69. These days you have to be social media and portal savvy.
His HC record in DI is only 87-115 and fired from both places he was HC (T.Tech and UT-Pan Am).
Now he was 108-40 in DII (West Tx A$M) and 233-54 at JC, plus 100-39 at NAIA.

Good point. Did you see Jason Edwards get beat up in the SEC and not get the call this year? I felt for the guy and wish him success, but they really exploited his size and the refs didn't do him any favors.
