A mess of a program hires a mess of a coach, Perfect Fit?

MIAMI — Isiah Thomas is back in coaching, and Florida International a program needing a buzz wind up interlocking.

Although the financial details have not been released, it’s reported the deal is for 5-years. Grumblings from a few sources have said it is in the neighborhood of $200,000-250,000 per year.

FIU athletic director Pete Garcia said. “We are very excited to have such a legendary athlete and proven winner in Isiah Thomas to lead our men’s basketball program. There is no doubt that Isiah will give FIU a tremendous opportunity to take the basketball program to the highest level.”

Isiah Thomas believes there is a ton of talent to be had at FIU…”I think we can get good players from across Florida and around the country to buy into our plan to make this a top-tier basketball program. I’m committed to growing something here, and strongly believe that over time, we’ll put a team on the floor that everyone at FIU can be proud of.”

With FIU needing a boost in athletics and being turned down numerous times, and Isiah with no other options out there to speak of. This seems like a situation where the two ugly people got together and formed a couple.
