4 years out, the Niko Medved hire will be a success if?...

[SJUgopher]

I picked 4 years since that is how long Johnson lasted.

Here's my hope after 4 years:

- 2 years ahead of wisconsin in the Big Ten standings (hasn't happened since 1997)
- 2 NCAA Tournament appearances
- Uptick in season tickets (very hard to get people back once they left tickets but I think they will over time)
- Genuine and noticeable increase in fan interest throughout the state.

Go Gophers!!

Good list.

I think in season 3 we will be back to the dance. In year two, we will be applauding his player's talent and wishing the big donors will keep them happy here.

2 NCAA tourney appearances, at least one trip to the round of 32, at least one winning conference season, at least one trip to the BTT semis, a cumulative B1G record north of 40%.

Those aren't all necessarily make or break for me, and certainly exceeding my benchmark on one or more of those metrics would make me more forgiving on some of the others. But I think that is a realistic goal for what a good hire's first four years would look like.

Perfect list.

In four years it will be a success if there is not a new Fire Medved thread every day.

You really think G Holers will wait 4 years?
