1. Came in and fundamentally shifted the team/program culture from a “the way things are done in college MBB” to “the pro level of how things are going to NOW be done.”
2. Top recruits want to play here now. LE got McMahon, KY gets Demin & Dybantsa.
3. Win early after hire. KY gets to Sweet 16 in year 1; LE has 1 losing season then goes on to be an absolute legend, fundamentally impacting college football (and football, in general).

Agree? Where am I off? What other similarities are there?
