I will say. Damn tough to beat a team without Davis.

Sorry Bob not against the worst team in the worst major conference

Wlat went from 5-6 his first year to 1-11 in his second year (including the infamous third-down kick)

Hahaha, you clearly think that Wlat had only one 3rd down punt. Never underestimate just how bad of a coach Wlat was. 

Anyway, I thought Bowlsby put it well when he announced Wlat’s firing. He said that a key question he had to ask himself was whether he thought the program was heading in the right direction under Wlat. With that same question in mind regarding Haase, I feel like the answer is yes even if the win-Loss record is not yet what we want. I think Haase is still the right guy for us.

So then you're comfortable with a flat trajectory of .500 records and borderline NIT bids? Sorry I'm not.

If Okpala leaves, that's where this team ends up once again next year. Or maybe they are and NIT lock.

I like Haase's playing style/system much more than Dawkins, but it's not generating any better results. Given the relative weakness of the competition, you could argue it's going in the wrong direction.

The talent is there, but the glue that makes it into a team that plays above that isn't. That's where I see significant parallels in Haase & Dawkins. You have to get your talent to play together.
