You know what they say about Opinions.....
I can't see how you have that one though... Skip's only bad hire IMHO was Smoke --- and really, at the time (following a LEGEND) it made sense -- if it worked and Smoke had the "magic" LSU wins, if not.... he got his shot and it didn't work out.
Our baseball program didn't fall of the face of the earth during those years - we just didn't win the NC. Then skip got a new coach and we're right back in the very thick of it and have won another NC within 3 years.
The athletic programs self support and we've built incredible facilities --- I say Skip did pretty darn good.... but again ... that's MY opinion ... as is your in the other direction.

And Miles.

No, it made no sense at all. Why not get the best coach available?

We failed to make the NCAA tournament in Smoke's final year. There's a lot of ground between winning the NC and not even qualifying for the NCAA tournament.

He was good at upgrading facilities. He hasn't been good at hiring coaches. Smoke was a failure, Miles is a failure, and Van Chancellor is turning out to be less effective than Pokey was.
