    Romar is not a good corch, but he's > Kent

    No. He's not
    Pac seasons: Romar 12+, Kent 13+
    Pac10/12 records: Romar 129-94, Kent 111-126
    NCAA records: Romar 8-7, Kent 6-6
    NCAA appearances: Romar 7 (6 from the Pac, 1 from his 6 years in a smaller conference), Kent 6 (5 from the Pac, 1 from his 6 years in a smaller conference)
    Pac championships: Romar 2, Kent 1
    Head to head wins: Romar 11, Kent 7
    Further NCAA tournament run: Romar S16, Kent E8
    Overall winning percentage: Romar in 592 career games .603, Kent in 593 career games .560
    Highest NCAA seeds defeated: Romar NM 3, Illinois 4 and Marquette 6; Kent Texas 6, UNLV 7, Wake Forest 7

    Romar best Kent in 6 out of 7 categories. Romar's not a great coach. He's easily better than Ernesto.
    Talent matters. Romar had more to work with.

    Kiffin went 10-2 in 2011. He wasn't a better coach than anyone with a worse record.

    The talent that he recruited
    The talent that happened to be in Seattle at the time, you mean? Maybe he's a better recruiter than Ernie. Doesn't make him a better coach.

    It's FS to claim that Romar having relatively the same amount of tournament appearences in the same amount of time, with slightly less tournament success and a 4% better winning percentage makes him a better coach, considering the players the two had.

    Ernie had 4 nba first rounders. Jackson, Ridnour, Jones and Brooks. None who was more than a mediocre nba player.

    Romar had Robinson, Roy, Wroten, Hawes, Pondexter, Ross, Wilcox all go in the first round. Most were/are quality starters even an All star. He also had Jones, Brockman and IT all make some noise in the NBA. If he didn't have a better record he wouldn't just be a worse coach, but lightyears worse. He should blow away Kent's numbers, but instead his numbers are just a bit better and the one that he's worse at is what most people consider the most important. How deep you go in the dance.

    Many on this board mix fantasy with reality.

    If it weren't for the fucking recruiting class next year, I'd tell Romar he needs to think about "retiring."

    Romar's done some good things, but this team is fucked.

    Fucked.

    I agree about the recruiting class. But based on what he has done with the talent he's recruited?????

    What about last years team? And the year before that? It has been an impressive 3 year run.
