Yes, for whatever reason, after McGuff left, the bar was lowered for what the program was willing to accept. Amy Waugh certainly botched her chance (and she was a risk worth taking, IMO, but for whatever reason it didn't work out).
None of the coaches hired since have come to Xavier with accomplishments that would suggest they would succeed at this level. And obviously they haven't.

I still don’t understand this last hire, unless that was the best they could get.

I think we quadruple it. The non-conference schedule will surely be exceptionally soft. Like find the ten worst teams in the country (not named Xavier) plus UC soft.

Xavier wraps up the season at 320 in the NET rankings. Here are the other teams ranked 316-325:
FDU
Central Michigan
Alcorn
Charleston Southern
Xavier
Lafayette
Eastern Michigan
Merrimack
Lindenwood
Marist
Here are the worst teams in each of the other power conferences (although to be frank, outside of UConn, it's a stretch to call this version of the women's Big East a power conference; not a good year). No other team was outside the top 200, let alone the top 300:
ACC: Pittsburgh (162)
Big 10: Northwestern (189)
Big 12: Houston (99)
Pac 12: Arizona State (109)
SEC: Kentucky (147)
Aizhanique Mayo made the all-freshman Big East team. Hopefully she comes back next year. Last year's all-freshman team member, Fernanda Ovalle, didn't come back this season. I also hope the staff plans to recruit some post players.
Greg Christopher should be mortified.
