not a good fit.  we need someone hungry to take the job.  someone who wants to prove something.

But also someone experienced enough to fully grasp the situation here.... That this is not going to be a flip the switch type scenario with an overnight lovefest springing up between the Bulls hoops team and the community.

I think the community will be all over this program when they win.

Just like the Bucs in 1997-98...

one year you couldn't give the tickets away -- the next year there was a waiting list.

Same thing gonna happen with USF basketball.

Right, just like the community is all over the USF football team... Take off those green and gold glasses. You need a reality check.

give it 5 years.

The point is that your Bucs one year turn around analogy isn't valid for the football team, in a football state, so to try and apply it to the basketball team is ridiculously naive...
