Good hire. Seems like a much better person than RP.

Any chance his reference to his wedding reception in New Albany, IN was an homage to Romeo Langford?

No. Romeo isn’t coming.

No. Romeo isn’t coming.

 

Mack already talked to him though :lol2:

Tyra: "This person's qualities need to include replacing two lost banners with new ones."

 

That's a tall order considering how few D1 coaches actually make a final four. But for the money they are paying him, I get why that would be the expectation.

I really like Mack and believe he is a very good hire by U of L. It is interesting the difference a year makes. On 3/1/17, X lost its 6th game in a row and was then 18-12. I doubt many U of L fans would be excited about hiring Mack AT THAT POINT. I doubt that many X fans would be all that upset if he left AT THAT POINT. However, after an Elite 8 run last year and a very strong year this year, he is universally like by everyone on 3/28/18. This is why coaches have to "strike when the iron's hot". With the expectations at X now, if he finished 5th in the Big East and was 18-14 next year, people would start turning on him pretty quickly.

Romeo picked IU.
