After Davis was gone, part of me really wanted to see Askren get the head job. It would have been high risk/high reward. Regardless, it would have been a ride worth watching as an alum and fan. However, if I was an AD, I would never hire him. I give them credit for hiring him to be the RTC coach. That didn't work out, and gives us a good indication on how a head coaching gig would have ended up.
