Yep, as much as I was not happy with Weil, he did leave some good talent, Pippen, Humphrey, and Gunn for Kermit. Biggest problem for KD was almost every season for the first five or so seasons were injuries to key players.
On the other hand, Kermit left a ticking timebomb with players that had issues, that blew up very shortly after McDevitt accepted the job. I often wonder if Kermit knew things were going to come apart and inspired his departure as much as the opportunity at Ole Miss.
Kermit was a great face for the university, he worked hard at building support and the program, but I'm wondering a little if the MBB landscape has changed so much that he was unable to make the adjustments at Ole Miss and being a head coach is something that has passed him by. I can see him as an assistant for some P5 program like he was at LSU before Boots hired him.
