If Keith doesn’t even bring in Beard or Wade in for an interview when they both want the job (and YES they both want the job, they’re telling people as such) and goes on to hire another mid major or a guy that’s on the hot seat at Ohio State then he isn’t qualified to be an AD in this conference. Keith’s a great Reb and a stand up dude but you lose A LOT of equity if in two years your mid major guy is struggling and Chris Beard’s over at Wichita State having them in the tournament or the bubble.
Alabama and Auburn weren’t shit in this league at basketball until they dropped their nuts and hired coaches above their program. Now look at them.
So if you wanna pass over those guys then by all means do it but just come out the next week and say you were being disingenuous when you said the standard for this program is the tournament every year and just say you don’t care about basketball or we’re too broke to care. At least be transparent.
