A lot of posts about basically if Moser is a good coach or if it's mostly due to Krutwig. Honestly it's both, and that's pretty much the case with any "great" mid major coach. They have to find the player, or players, that pushes them to that next level. In Moser's case it's Krut. Just look at Underwood. Think he has the same career trajectory without Thomas Walkup? Doubtful.
The problem can be a lot of coaching promotions are created in March.
Moser did a masterful job preparing for us and got a big win. But if you look at the season, he didn't beat any of the good teams on his schedule. Look at Groce. If memory serves correct he never ended better than third in the MAC, but he had a nice March and he ended up in Champaign.
When I look at a perspective coach I want to see success at every stop and I want to see that success pretty quickly at each stop.
When I look at Porter Moser I see ehhh at Arkansas Little Rock, no improvement in 3 years. I see poor performance at ISU. Then at Loyola, meh until Krutwig showed up, and don't forget Lance Williamson.
So to me Moser becomes a big bust risk. An AD has to discern, did he just learn and become a better coach, or did a couple of very talented players make him look far better than he actually is. Creating a masterful plan for 1 game in March does not mean you will be successful in a step up in competition over the course of a full season.
