Harrick Has Good Reason to Worry

Jim Harrick seems concerned about his future since the “resignation” of USC football coach Larry Smith (Jan 6). He ought to be. Sub-par recruiting, his teams consistently underachieving and/or performing only to the level of their competition, mediocre game coaching, and the chances of a Final Four appearance continuing to wane.

Coach Harrick should be worried. If he found himself in similar straits at Indiana, Kentucky, Duke or North Carolina, he would have been former coach Harrick two years ago.
