Back when the Pac-12 was in its death throes, I think he could have had some decent success.
After all, he did this with Cincinnati back when the Big East was in its final stages, and essentially being the weakest power conference out there.
Now that Stanford is in the ACC, I doubt that he'd be able to replicate his success, unless he managed to actually find and develop a few superstars.
Agreed. This isn't the Pac-12 anymore.
