Message: [QUOTE="cmr27, post: 73788, member: 215"] Doug isn't going anywhere if for no other reason that it's not in the school's DNA to change coaches quickly. SU has had 6 football coaches in the last 60+ years. It has had 4 lacrosse coaches in 95 years and the same guy coaching basketball for 35 years. SU always places a high value on long-term and consistent success over a quick fix. That timeframe, 35 to 95 years, cuts across school administrations so we can presume there is an institutional bias toward hiring people (with connections to SU) who will stay here for a long time. With this in mind, Doug is not getting canned in three or four years unless there is a fundamental rethink in the way SU views athletics. We'd be talking about spending a lot more money and putting a lot more pressure on people to be successful quickly, a total break from the past. I don't see that happening (nor should it) and this is the reality of the situation. [/QUOTE]
