You don't lose in the Final Four out there and fail to incur the wrath of those fans.

Not a valid poll without Franmargaret either...This survey isn't really valid without Izzo, Jay Wright, and Tony Bennett

Monson has them in the Elite 8.
I want to write Mark Few but I will go with Scott Drew. He had an Elite 8, now he has a championship game under his resume. Only reason I penalize Few is he gets to play Hawaii and bad programs like that 20x per year.
Scott Drew to me is the best in the business. I would be backing up the brinks truck for him if I were the North Carolina AD.
Big difference making a single run as a double digit seed vs. the incredible level Few has them at now. They have been a #1 seed 4 of the last 8 tourneys. That's incredible. And we're talking about over 20 years since that happened. At this point, Few could've taken over a team with 0 wins or 30, it was over 20 years ago. Having a top 5 program when you are in your 22nd year or whatever it is means it's pretty much all you.Monson has them in the Elite 8.
Yeah, this was certainly true up til about 10 years ago, but I think the fan base has mellowed out a bit. I'm sure after this year, if Cronin follows it up with a dud--and a dud being anything less than the Sweet 16--the fans will be murmuring next year.The alum I know aren’t like this.

I think an announcer said Gonzaga is one or two wins shy of averaging 30 wins/season under Few, which I initially thought was BS. However, he's pretty close at 28.6 wins/year. Had they finished last year and this year have been a full season, he'd bee really close.
I don't care what conference they're in, that's stupid good.
