The alternative was to tear the whole thing down and build from scratch, and our program likely didn't have the juice to recover from that yet again.
I've been a Haith apologist, but I don't really feel like he needs defending. He was dealt a bizarre hand, and he played it as well or better than I could have possibly expected.
In all actuality, he has been tearing down the program in preparation for a rebuild, but he's done it bit by bit. Brown, Ross, Clarkson, and Criswell are gone after this season. (Brown is in Pressey-mode...he's leaving regardless of his draft outlook.) Next year, the team will be Frank's kids...not kids that he was forced to take out of necessity, but players he recruited out of high school.
It's going to be a young but talented team...likely a bubble team at best...but it will be his. I'm perfectly content to give him two years after this season before escalating evaluating him as a long term option.

I agree for the most part, but we may very well be getting another transfer soon (unless that rumor dried up recently).
