The Edsall hire is a swing for the fences hire. If he works out it looks genius...otherwise it looks terribly dopey. But it doesn't look ho-hum. The Turgeon hire looks incredibly panicy and like they settled. They'd have been better off taking another few days to find someone who hasn't been just "above average" like Turgeon has been. He hasn't beaten the best teams consistently and doesn't have a crazy-good reputation for recruiting or getting far in the tourney. If they aspire to compete with the Dukes and Carolinas then they needed another swing for the fences hire. Not a "we're happy to win 23-25 games year and bow out by round 2 in the tourney" type hire. The hire looks pretty damn average.
