The only "elite" coaches he hired either were assistants here (e.g. the fencing coach) or wanted to come here (e.g. volleyball). The coaches he personally found have not proven much.

It would have been preferable to hire somebody with AD experience. Maybe we can get Gene Smith to come here in a couple years?

and don't forget

He fired a Final Four coach who built the women's lacrosse program from scratch and replaced her with a super average coach who has taken the program a step back every year.

It is much, much worse than that

It isn't just that he doesn't have the ability to hire elite coaches. It's that he's shown no recognition of the need to. If he shitcans Aoki (or Kelly) and then strikes out on their replacements that sucks but at least he knew enough to know that a change was necessary. As is, he doesn't even see a need to make a change in the first place.
