Every year i hear KU fans claiming that they "don't miss Roy" and they we "upgraded w/Self". Granted Self did win us a natty (Roy would have won us one too) but Roy has 5 final 4's and two national championships to Self's 1 natty ans 2 final fours.
I like Bill, he is a great coach, but he underachieves pretty consistently in the tournament.
I know 13 straight, back to back elite 8's muh crap shoot blah blah blah

Alright, I'll quit being a prick about it, but look guys, here are the stats.
Roy
Time: 15 years
Record: 418-101 (.805)
Conference Titles: 9
Final Fours: 4
Titles: 0
Bill
Time: 14 years
Record: 416-87 (.827)
Conference Titles: 13
Final Fours: 2
Titles: 1
BCJ: Your assertion that UNC was a promotion, suggests that the universities aren't the same, so looking at their time in Kansas, I fail to see how you can say Roy is the better coach. You must be looking at the tournament, because he doesn't have as good of overall record (and that dude schedules some CUPCAKES), or conference titles. But if all that matters is March, how can you put Roy over Bill when Bill won the whole thing. You're saying Roy is better, I don't see it. Yeah, 2 more Final Fours, but no rings, and there were several years, where he fielded not-so-good teams. Self is looked at as an underachiever, because his teams are so consistently ****ing awesome that in the years that he doesn't win the title, he can do nothing but underachieve. He's never in a position to overachieve and not underachieving means winning a title, which is hard to do.
I get that Roy has had more success at UNC, but I don't think you can use those statistics as a comparison, when his tenure at KU is far more comparable, and it leans toward Bill.
PB: you're bagging on Bill pretty hard in the KU thread, but if Roy DIDN'T win in 15 years, what makes you think he could have? I'm sure if Self was here 15 years and hadn't won it, you'd be crowing about how if a guy can't do it in 14 years he never will. Looking at their extremely comparable side-by-sides, I'll have Self.
But yeah, this weekend sucked, but I posted yesterday a bunch of teams that this loss probably sucked less than.
