This is obviously a Penn perspective but I think you're way off.
Because he recruited one player (Z. Rosen) to Penn with talent
Here you're just flat out wrong.
has never had to lead a program, deal with the media or be the final say in any decision. There is no easier job in life than an asst. coach.
Okay, that's a little weird to say, but whatever.
or more experience as higher level assts. Stewart (Pac 10), Young, Walsh (Big East), Anderson. We apparently didn't even interview Maker from Williams. Not sure if he was interested. Regardless, these guys have all sat in the big chair and performed. They have been held accountable.
Wait, I thought assistants were puppets and worthless.
What has Martin done?
He was an integral part in taking a six win team to a 20 win team in two seasons.
Last time I checked this was a Division One job.
Allegedly.
How many other D1 programs would make a hire like this?
Robert Morris, for one, and they're doing fine.
Harvard hired Tommy Amaker and we hire a guy who has never been involved in a NCAA game outside of the Ivies.
So if Brown's wealthy and powerful alums want to band together, drum up the cash and the institutional support to hire Ben Howland when he's pushed out at UCLA, go for it. That's what Harvard did. Harvard decided it wanted to have a winning program after a million blah years and essentially bought a foundation and have done a pretty good job so far of building that up. There is nothing to suggest there's that kind of desire and influence from Brown's junta.
