What better coach could the beavs hire?

I would counter that any form of "we suck", "fire everybody" threads after a loss is freaking out. but it is also expected and predictable. 

I didn't see the game, so won't comment on anything in that regards except to say it is disappointing. I hope they can turn it around and surprise against Arizona, start kicking butt and make the tourney. Not feeling confident that can happen, but as a fan that is my hope.

But driving to work, I started to think more about WT and his tenure. He is in his 6 year, and it is looking unlikely that the Beavs will go to the tourney (but NIT is still in reach). As far as I'm concerned you can throw out all the he's better than we've had in a long-time, he's better than Robinson, he can only recruit staff family members, he came in with nothing on the roster, Tres was injured one year arguments. Fact is he will likely have produced one tourney team and one NIT team in 6 years. If one is fine with that then they are happy with WT staying. However, remember he has accomplished that with arguably the two best players he'll ever coach in a Beavs uniform (GPII and Tres), conceivably 3 more of the top 5 players he'll ever have (the Thompsons and Drew) and the best shot blocker he'll ever coach here. There is a good chance that in one of the next six years there is another year when injuries take their toll, and the cupboard looks to be pretty bare next year (like his first year as some argue), so is there any reason to believe that he'll do that well or better in his next 6 years. So for me the question isn't what better coach could OSU get than WT, it is are you happy with likely six-year runs at best like the last six. WT hasn't shown any great recruiting chops, so it is tough to fathom talent will be better in next six years.

I like Wayne and would love to see him and the Beavs have great success. I think WT will be here for at least two more years after this one, and I hope he has enough success that another extension makes sense. I'm just not seeing how that will happen. If they let WT go, no guarantees that the next coach will be better -- but certainly no guarantees he won't be. And the current ceiling of one NCAA and one NIT every 6 years with Wayne isn't making me jump for joy.
