so silver(ish) lining. 

We will potentially know our penalties before the hire is made. 

I would think KNOWING how steep of a hill you have to climb with a boss like Woodward is a more desirable landing spot than:

Being under investigation, no clue how bad it may get, and having Joe Alleva as the guiding light for your ship that is still in the darkness.

The other silver lining is that we don't owe Wade the balance of his contract. (Unlike when Orgeron was fired.)

Doing a little research on possible candidates. Here are a few articles that discuss highly regarded NCAA basketball coaches.

 

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/29157808/40-40-rank-best-young-coaches-men-college-basketball

Interestingly, that article list Will Wade as #3 on the list:

Quote

In terms of pure on-court coaching and recruiting abilities, Wade would be No. 1 on this list and it wouldn't be particularly close. He won 40 games in two seasons at Chattanooga, went to the NCAA tournament both seasons at VCU and then won the SEC regular-season title his second season at LSU. But there have been issues. He was heard on an FBI wiretap discussing the recruitment of a player and was suspended for a month as a result. -- Jeff Borzello

It's a shame this went South for him. If the allegations turn out to be more smoke than substance, Wade will get snatched up again. Right now, he's pretty toxic.

Note that the guy that just took over from Coach K at Duke was #9 on this list.

Here is another that is a little more recent:
