I could not agree with the quote above more. In UB's current position you need always try to hire the "next big name". Reggie made the program competitive but they made the right move bringing in Hurley to take the next step. They then hired Oats which was obviously a great hire. Hodgson should have been followed Oats as the next young exciting coach but instead they went with Whitesell who seems like a good guy but has been around the block and doesn't seem like the recruiter that Oats and Hurley were.
The other critique I would bring to the table is why haven't they parlay the football and basketball success they have had into a jump to a bigger conference?
