You guys are one step ahead of us.  We don't know how well Fisher's replacement (Dutcher) will do either.       

Just don't extend Dutch with a 7 figure buyout after one OK season like our clueless administration.

Former Washington coach L.Romar wwould need to be considered. I'm thinking an African American coach would be a good move for UNM for some reason.

Weird that ppl want Weir and Baker, both WAC coaches, yet shit on us for hiring Menzies because he hadn't on in the dance yet neither have Weir and Baker.

Oh God... I can hear the fan base uproar now if UNM hires another million dollar coach! We'll never hear the end of the "we're just a poor state, and we should be paying someone that much to coach basketball" crowd... but get us the the NCAA's regularly!

If we get a million plus hire coach, and he doesn't produce right away... he'll soon be in the cross hairs of the Lobo fan base... like Neal was!

 

Actually the fan base was still giving Neal a chance entering year 4 with Brown, Williams and two more starters coming back as well as a bench that ws supposed to be deep.  When he started throwing players under the bus after defeats  and losing games he should have won, the fans started jumping ship.

Him or Rod Barnes from CSU Bakersfield 

Barnes also took Ole Miss to the S16.  He got that programs first ever tournament win.  I am really impressed with what he has done with Bakersfield this year.  

Seems like he might be able to take us to the S16 with what UNM has to offer compared to Bakersfield.

2 winning seasons in that time frame, along with two years he wasn't a head coach. Not great, I will give you that.  IMO it's easier to win at UNM then a lot of other places including Bakersfield

This Rod Barnes guy has had like 3 not terrible seasons in 20 years of coaching. He sucks. I can't possibly begin to imagine how you would think that he would be a good hire. One Sweet Sixteen does not negate an entire career of suck.

How many sweet 16s did the Lobos go to during that time?

Timing just seemed off. 

Can't blame you. Only a moron like Krebs would wait until April 1 to fire his basketball coach.

Considering Krebs is still around, UNM's next coach could easily been even worse.

Boom goes the dynamite.

UNM may end up salvaging this thing.  Some of us  may have been too quick to grab the shovels. 

Maybe. Krebs did manage to hire Alford but that was a decade ago.

Boom goes the dynamite.

We could also do a lot worse. I'm wary of Doole because traditionally eastern coaches do poorly here, but he'd be a huge improvement over Craig Neal.
