I think we end up with a good hire. Whether the fanbase buys into the hire being good is another thing (some of y'all Archie haters need to start watching college basketball), but I don't think we have to worry about a Mooney, Lonerdonk, or Turner caliber hire. There are simply too many talented coaches on the board right now without jobs or looking to take the next step up.
Whether Shaka is better than Archie is kind of beside the point.
Shaka would objectively and easily be the best hire in the modern era of Wake sports. He's also the guy with the most potential, proven results, and charisma, so I think that's why he's most folks's #1 option.
Do I think there are a few guys who could make as much impact, perhaps more, at the college level? For sure. Archie and White, IMO, are capable of that kind of success at the next level.
