If he was a great hire he wouldn't have a 45% overall record and a 35% pac12 record.

Howland was in the running for the Mississippi State gig he just got fired from.

Howland wanted $3 million/yr to coach here. That’s why “he chose” unemployment.

Eddie Payne coached for almost two decades at USC Upstate McKay became the head coach at New Mexico. Jay John coached at Cal. Craig Robinson worked for the Bucks and Knicks in the front office, and is now the Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. We all should do so well after leaving the "graveyard."

So you are saying USC Upstate was a career advancement from OSU? OK.
McKay took the first bus out he could catch after winning 37 percent of his total games and a whopping 22% of his league games here.
Craig's a good guy, he'salso kinda a bit more connected than the average D-1 coach. He has yet to coach again.
Jay was never a head coach again.

Jay wasn’t qualified to be a head coach in his first try.

But being fired by Oregon State obviously didn't end Eddie Payne's career. In fact he led Upstate into Division I and had their home court named after him. Ritchie has done quite well since leaving OSU, if you've paid attention at all. Jay was an assistant at Cal, then was part of their radio team. Maybe he wasn't a head coach again, but he certainly landed on his feet. Craig immediately got a front-office NBA job. Why would he coach again? The obvious point is, being fired at OSU obviously didn't kill anyone's career. Far from it.

The obvious point is, being fired at OSU obviously didn't kill anyone's career. Far from it. I would say it damaged their coaching career. None became a Power 5 HC again. But I also don't care about that, the fact is, nobody has been able to bring us to the Pac-12 tournament from Ralph until Tinkle. I don't think Tinkle is the best coach, but he is the best we have had in 30 years, and He has given us 2 magical years (the only 2 successful years we have had in my lifetime). I don't think he should get a lifetime contract, but he also shouldn't be fired after a bad year. With transfers and everything else, a bad year is fine, but a couple of terrible years in a row is when we are in trouble, and we aren't at that point. I'm content with settling with Elite 8 appearances and NCAA appearances in general with a couple of down years. It's a whole lot better than settling for missing the NCAA's for 20+ years and going through coaches like it's nothing.

A bad year? After 8 seasons he has a 45% overall percentage and 35% pac12 record. He has had one winning pac12 season. I am willing to risk the chance we can find somebody better.

Oregon State's basketball budget is the 10th-largest in the Pac-12. Please explain to me, why you would expect a head coach at Oregon State to even have anything approaching a .500 record at Oregon State, if he weren't better-than-average. Every year that Oregon State does not finish in the bottom quarter of the conference, it is because of above-average coaching. Five above average years, one mediocre year and two below average years. The dude is playing with house money, as far as I am concerned. Unless and until spending is comparable to the other schools, Oregon State has no business posting a winning record overall, much less a winning conference record. Expecting Oregon State to finish .500 or better in conference is commensurate with Crystal Palace fans expecting to finish top seven most years. I mean:
