It'd be a bad hire (by SP+, which adjusts for pace, has his last two offenses ranked in the 120 range like Iowa, and his best season was 87) but I also wouldn't hold my breath. He was not very well liked in Iowa City and no one was sad to see him go
Tim Polasek is probably the best case scenario of the realistic options and the one that I imagine would most excite the fanbase of any guy with Kirk's trust.

I wouldn't hate this. I do think his departure, and the hiring of George Barnett, was more impactful on the decline than, say, the departure of Doyle.
