Imagine not only having to deal with the pressure of being "the ex coaches son", you also have to deal with trying to recruit, as your dad is on TV speaking or voting, in ways some recruits/handlers might take as racist or bigotry or whatever. Coaches jumping into politics is one thing, a son trying to fill his Dads shoes, as well as dealing with whatever/if any backlash and controversy, his dad may be causing, is something we don't see often. Should be interesting in today's world.

Excluding his last year he had a 51% win % the 4 years prior. 40% win percentage his last 5 years.

He was a part of them playing at Rosement and his exit also coincided with NCAA sanctions. Pat Kennedy got some names but they've never been the same.

Yeah there’s not lot of examples but generally sons aren’t as good as the fathers. The exception being Tony Bennett was better than Dick Bennett.

Bob Knight > Pat Knight
Rick Pitino > Richard Pitino
Lon Kruger > Kevin Kruger

Am I missing anyone recent or famous?

Even just assistants inheriting major programs is spotty.

Scheyer worked out.
I think Hubert Davis has been mostly a failure
Kyle Neptune was a gigantic failure

The Drew family coaches. Scott being the most successful on a national scale.

This tracks with the quality of analyst usually trotted out by CBS / CBSSN.
He's somehow a step down from Steve Lappas, which doesn't seem possible.
