In addition to having a better personal tourney record than our entire program history (he has 16 NCAA appearances in 17 years, 2 Sweet 16, 2 Elite 8, 1 Final Four, Ranked #1 in 2010 for first time in Texas history) his recruiting last 5 years hardly shows a coach that's tired and out of motivation or drive. With the exception of 2013, his classes were highly ranked classes, two of them top-10 and others would have been except they only had room for 2 players.

2015 - Two 4 Star
2014 - One 5 Star, One 4 Star
2013 - One 4 Star, Three 3 Star
2012 - One 5 Star, Two 4 Star, Two 3 Star
2011 - One 5 Star, Three 3 Star, Three 3 Star

Why would we say no to this at a time that we desperately need stability and proven success both on the floor and in recruiting?! I for one would feel relieved to have a proven coach (and his questionable firing considering his track record should mean little when you are a program looking for its 3rd coach in 3 years...)
