Slydell, I really don't think so. IMO, everyone in the country knows this a Top2 program in WCBB. Plus, every top candidate know that CHW has done the impossible already for them. She followed the legend and didn't measure up. Even better UT was dumb enough to let her stay 3 extra years. That's even more separation from CPS comparisons.
The seat is wide open for the best out there who wants to walk into a McD AA factory, huge salary, giant arena, winning tradition, rabid fanbase, and annually start attending Final Fours. After he/she "turns this mess around", they'll be hailed as one of the best in the game.
It's the PERFECT storm right now. I guarantee you many resume's are being spiffed up as we speak.
