Let's not forget that though Monty had a lot of success, his teams tended to underperform in the post-season.  One final four, two regional finals, and too many early exits, IMO.  Even at least one of those regional finals was too early of an exit relative to the talent and expectations.

I would love to be able to compare Dawkins' teams performance in the tournament to Monty's but after six seasons all we have is One.Great.Week followed by a horrendous performance against Dayton.

if Dawkins can get his teams to perform in the post-season on par to last season, the extension investment may turn out to be smart

And if my sister had...

If Dawkins can get this team into the tournament I would consider the season a success.  My money's on 15-17 wins and 7-11 in conference.
