check the record- i don't give 1/10 of a shit about tourney success as the rest of you do. it's mostly a crap shoot for the first two weekends, and then it's the same group of characters left at he end. Freaking Tom Izzo hasn't won the NCAA Tournament in 20 years. shaggy would fire him for that.
meanwhile the list of guys who have won it all remains a "who's who" of college basketball coaches, with only one real outlier. its a small-ish group of legendary coaches and then randomly Kevin Ollie. We aren't hiring anyone who has actually won the thing, and therefore i don't care about a coach's tourney record so long as it isn't flat out awful. as long as Texas is competitive in the Big XII and present in the tourney on a near-annual basis then everyone should be happy.
As far as candidates go, Ive been posting the names of potential candidates who i'd like to see considered for years here, to the point where any regular poster should probably be able to quote it name by name. I even started a thread about it before this one was made. and then just a little up the page I mentioned Eric Musselman again, who is 100x more qualified than this random Seton Hall guy with fewer skins on the wall than Shaka had at VCU. still i've got some Rutgers fan in here incredulously asking me for my crazy, fantastical, unattainable list of candidates who are more qualified than Millard Fillmore, or whoever the guy is. Gee, I dunno (flips through phone book and lands on random page). Almost anyone?
