I like the Mayor ok, but has any coach without a single Sweet 16 ever been more lionized than this guy? Has anyone garnered Hero status with any resume less accomplished than Fred? I mean, look at Self's record by comparison. Like comparing Aaron Rodgers to Russell Wilson.

Not surprising really....I mean...its ISU.
For reference, their God is Johnny Orr....The greatest coach ever
at ISU.....

His record? Overall 218-200 and 79 -177 in the Big Eight.

He should of got Hero status after he somehow reached .500 his first year. He inherited an awful team, god awful. Then two tournaments the following years? He's only going to get better at coaching and he's getting better recruits each year. Selfs job was way easier. He inherited a good team, that constantly gets good recruits. Fred is taking us in that direction, it doesn't just instantly happen for a team like ISU with a first time Head Coach, who wasn't even and assistant coach before that.
