Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1736860, member: 40"] Valid points. But I think [believe] that Doc had it correct above--Gross's primary "job" was to get football right. He failed at that, in the main. Yes, he had success with the olympic sports, which is admirable and fun, but doing so necessitated him spending way over market at a time when we were financially challenged. Thankfully, those aren't our circumstances anymore as a function of ACC revenue sharing. Gross did some very good things as Syracuse's AD. He also had some inexcusable gaffes, and didn't run a very tight ship. Mixed bag--at best, and probably trending towards a poor tenure given the state of affairs in football for the majority of his tenure, and the results of the NCAA investigation / sanctions. Even factoring in all of the challenges / obstacles. [/QUOTE]
