Mason mentioned it in his podcast, and others (the smart ones) have mentioned it here from time to time. We keep on setting ourselves back every time we get a new coach. Unless we were to bring in a legit big time coach that would recruit himself like a Saban, a Meyer, a top five dude, we will probably get roughly the same kind of recruits we always get. Fleck may get a few better players-and I think he willl- but where we fail where our rivals succeed is longevity of the system, or maintaining the same culture. Fleck says it and sounds stupid but it’s 100% true. We need to build a culture and sustain it with little to no coaching movement over the course of ten plus years to begin to compete with Iowa and Wisconsin year in and out. We need to pick a dude and frickin stay with him, this merry go round BS ain’t workin, I don’t understand what folks here get out of bashing the coach, it’s self-destructive, counterproductive, and at the end of the day not fun to read. It’s gotten so bad it’s almost not worth coming here anymore.

I agree. I was on board with Coyle going after Fleck and getting his guy. We have to stick with him and the school needs to give 100% to making sure he is successful. If he then leaves, we will still be in a better place to hire. You can't worry about that.
That being said, if Coyle had wanted to stick with Claeys, I wanted it to be a 6-8 year deal. At some point we you have to break the cycle.
I'd rather we do it with Fleck as the Coach than Claeys, however.
