I get the feeling the "collateral" Painter has with the AD that GBI is not yet spent, even if we miss the tourney this year.
So unless something crazy happens, let's face it: Painter will be here next year.
If we miss the tourney four years in a row, surely this run is over.
So, play out that hypothetical: Is Zo interested?
And for those who would question it -- yes, I think he would be a great hire and I'm not a firm believer in "staying within the family."
He has shown he can do all three: coach Xs and Os, recruit talent, and inspire his team to play for each other and play for the coach in a way that I don't think Painter ever has.
