Being safe sucks. Id rather roll the dice every 4 or 5 years trying to find the guy that can win a National Championship vs having a guy that can get you somewhat consistently to the tournament but has no chance of winning it.
That's fine but if they miss the tournament three times in four years after hiring the head coach at Belmont/St. Bonaventure/etc I sure would be interested to see how the fanbase talks about Turgeon
