Hmm ok, has nothing to do with anything, but I'll bite. Let's check Wikipedia ...

Dana Kirk and Jeff Capel both produced a 30 win season at their next gig.

That took 5 seconds.

That should not surprise anyone after the last two "coaches".

Jeff Capel was horrendous at OU.

Capel had 2 tournament appearances and an Elite Eight. Drove it into the ground after that though.

I clarified.

I should change it to say he didnt coach at VCU as his only stop. He went to UTC first. A completely different program not under Smart's control at all that he turned around himself

And I agree. Love that part of his resume. He went out and did it on his own. We've agreed in every thread.

I just pointed it out because he installed the part of Smart's game plan that became the most famous. Very smart guy.

It sounds like if we get him, there is a chance our players show some semblance of a basketball IQ? I'm sold.

Doesn't matter.

Can he recruit?
Can he coach x's and o's?
Can he lead a program?

I saw where someone posted that the current discussions centered on more than just salary, i.e. resources, etc. Nunez is the facilities, resources guy and has a strong background in hoops from his time at Florida. LSU will make whatever commitment this guy wants.
Time will tell and hoops coaching hires are possibly riskier than football. You have a much more limited roster so the margin for error is small.
