Seriously name the guys right now who you would rather have running Penn State if you could take anyone you wanted. And we have always been one of the top programs in America, why wouldn't we have a top flight coach as well? I meant I didn't know if you were being sarcastic or not. Of course I'd rather have Self than Ed Dechelis. As for "top programs", sure, Illinois is probably in the top 20. But Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina are more or less the "Final Four" of top BBall programs right now (and even then Roy Williams bailed on one for another). If you don't think Kansas is a step up from Illinois, I don't know what to tell you
