UGA will be looking for new coach in about 6 years with little to show for their $20 million investment.
Crean's agent and the coaching search agency that UGA hired to arrange the deal will be laughing their arses to the bank.
I will have to disagree. With the SEC having added Mike Tranghese as a basketball consultant, they have come up now from a 3 team NCAA league to an 8 team league. They have done this by him having meetings with all the schools & AD's to toughen their schedules, adding the Big 12-SEC Challenge, upgrade their facilities and spend money on good coaches. They have done this by getting top names in Howland at Miss St, Avery Johnson at Bama, Rick Barnes at UT, Cuonzo Martin at Mizzou and now Tom Crean at UGa. They already have Cal at UK & Mike White at Florida. UGa has the money to make all the changes they need and I believe they will get it done, just like the rest of the SEC has done.
The PAC-12 & Big Ten need to take notice. And in the next few years, the ACC will have to replace the geriatric crowd of Boeheim, Coach K, Roy, Hamilton & Larranaga. We will all have to keep up with young guns Bennett & Keatts.
