As RazorAg has said here, I try to look past the resume to find indications about a coaches’ intangibles such as personality, marketing, etc. When I do that, Musselman keeps coming back to the top of the list of realistic candidates. He really seems to have the traits that give him a very high ceiling here and the best chance to really elevate the program. I hope that he will still be willing to come here once we are done getting turned down by Beard.
I made the statement on here the other day that the issue with Musselman seemed to be we indicated to him, he WAS Plan B. It dug at him a little bit. Apparently, my thoughts were on the money and that’s what did indeed occur. However, AR has enough $$$$$ That he may still come here. $$$$$ makes some people get over hurt feelings.
Bring him in, make Scotty Associate Head Coach to help with Arkansas recruiting, and let’s see what happens.
Also, I don’t know if we’re considering him… but I don’t think Dawkins at UCF wouldn’t be a bad choice. I’d take him over Alford, Jans, and Pitino. He’s probably #2 on my list right now.
