It's been a mediocre tenure overall as we all know. Clean program, academic focused, father figure - but mediocre in terms of basketball performance (and last time we all checked, it's a basketball program).
That's the reality with audiences these days (I live it every day as a PR/Mass Media/Brand exec), if it's not clear in 3 seconds, casual audiences will take it as fact (lower attention spans every year). The objective is sensationalism, clicks and buzz. Good, bad or indifferent, LB State has plenty of buzz right now. And they're riding it.

"A Terrific Coach"
Not in the last ten years. He's been mediocre. First seven years, overall good. Never terrific at LBSU.
Now you see why most media in this country is like social media. No substance, no critical thinking, just drama and flash.

he’d taken over a program on a three-year NCAA probation, and won four conference titles and got them in the NCAAs in 2012. Hard to ask for more, he had cleaned up a dirty program and won a conference title as recently as ’22.
