I think this is a mistake. Lebo is a good coach. He was strapped at Auburn trying to recruit. They are opening a new, on-campus, more intimate arena next year. It's unfortunate he won't get a chance to build with that in place.

Auburn loses 4 of their 5 starters, with only Frankie Sullivan returning. I don't see this being a very attractive position for a new coach. They will need to hit a home run like Georgia did with Mark Fox or Alabama did with Anthony Grant.

Not surprising. 6 years is more than enough time, and he just didn't get it done. I think he'll land and have success back at a smaller school.
