I know we would have dudes that can shoot, and they probably can shoot because their coach knows how to get them open.

Since 2000 

3 point percentage

#1 Gonzaga 38.2%

#115 Texas 34.7%

You are routinely one of the dumbest motherfuckers on this site and I'm glad you aren't running Texas' athletic department. 

What - on God's Green Earth - any of you think suggests that Mark Few would have long term success at Texas is beyond me. 

Let's dig up Bobby Bowden's corpse and have him replace Sark while we're at it. 

nice set shot.  you know shitall about sports and display it daily.

I personally think Mark Few would be a great hire.  He just turned 62, which is on the older end. But as we have covered, that is a lot younger than Barnes, Izzo and Sampson. Younger than Bruce Pearl. Same age as Bill Self (they were born on the same day, lol).  He could be a very good coach for a decade.  Even in the NBA you got guys like Popovich, Thibodeau and Carlisle who are still great coaches well into their 60s.

Over the last 10 years, Gonzaga has a runner up finish, +3 Elite 8s, +3 Sweet 16s. And that doesn't include possibly their best team which was 31-2 in the lost Covid year. You would be hard pressed to find a better program over that stretch.  

Moreover, they play an fun brand of basketball with an offense that is consistently ranked in the top-5.  

This would be a slam dunk. But I put the odds at 10%. Why would he leave?

So... If our current roster played for Chris Beard, how many more games would we have won.... Hypothetically speaking and whatnot?

I'm pretty certain we would be in the top-10 right now with only 1-2 losses.

Coaches winning% all time (10 seasons minimum)

#2 all time in winning percentage (behind West Texas A&M legend Sam Burton). Seems pretty good. 62 is not that old. Musselman is 60. Cal is 66. Pitino is 72.

It's hard to see Few leaving after 26 years. I don't see it happening. But if Few was truly up for it, sure, why the hell not? He'll retire at Gonzaga though.

I’m not sure but I do know we would be playing better defense.

Everything in blue from 1999 forward is Mark Few at Gonzaga, everything in burnt orange is the entire history of our program. Perhaps one reason Few could want to come to Texas is our potential NIL and him being able to get over the hump and cap off his career with a title?

If my maths are right, he currently has a kid in HS. He also talks a lot about fly fishing, which seems to be his main hobby. His wife went to Gonzaga and he has spent his entire career there even before being head coach. And he is from that part of the country.

I’m revising my odds down to 1%.
