    Local media is in Las Vegas, still basking in the Jimmer afterglow.

          This has been the problem:

          Boylen was a former NBA assistant who also spent time on Tom Izzo’s staff at Michigan State.
          No one ever said he was Izzo's main guy. And we all saw during the awards ceremony for the Lakers at the start of this season that NBA teams have assistant coach staffs the size of the cast of Ben-Hur.

          Boylen wasn't qualified. He was a very dangerous hire. Giacoletti had a much better resume.
          When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

              Goodman's last tweet:

              The next guy that should lose his job at Utah is athletic director Chris Hill.

              Ouch.

                    He has built up alot of goodwill with the hiring of Whit, Urban, and Majerus. If Boylen or Giac had demonstrated any semblance of consistency and success then Hill would be OK. Another horrible hire may end his tenure at Utah. It will be interesting to see if Pres Young leaves for Washington what a new President will do.

                        I don't know. I think you guys are being too harsh on these basketball hires. Especially since you guys are a football school.

                            I would be on board with either of those names.

                              I know this is TIC but there is an element of truth. Most of the large donors that I know have several decades of experience with a successful basketball team. Its what they remember from the time they were kids. They would like to see that return The football success is more recent and doesn't carry the same length of emotional involvement.
