Good thread.  There seems to be a bit more balance in people's opinion than just the drive-by whack job screaming for a new coach.

Lot's of good points made in this thread:
[LIST]
[*]Landscape has changed, a lot more competition and money in the game
[*]Kids have more options
[*]The SU lax brand has arguably tarnished some
[*]SU is not a cheap school and schollies are a problem when kids know they have other options
[*]Agree, there are giants who may eventually add Lax (SEC type schools)
[*]Succession plan for coaching is not known?  However, SU players seem to be leading in developing the game in other parts of the country, this seems more like a positive than a negative.
[*]What is the SU lax identity?  the run & gun days seem to be gone.  There was some of that this year but our identity seems to be more "Cardiac Cuse" than anything the past decade...
[/LIST]
I think all of these add to the unknown of what will become of SU Lax in an eventual post Desko era.  I'm not even remotely qualified to speculate on coaching ability so I won't.  However, I do wonder what the Lax alumni think of the state of the program and is their opinion even a consideration?

Much like basketball, I believe the ACC lax programs will be fine.  The programs in this conference are all proven winners and kids want to play the best competition.  This includes SU.  Do things need to change?  Probably.  However, I also think this is a situation where a new coach doesn't solve the world's problems.  There will likely need to be a few layers to this.
