I like the idea of Chemotti taking over, but I worry that the alums would have no patients for anyone who is not a former Syracuse Lacrosse player. Chemotti may be from Syracuse but he did not go to Syracuse.  I can't think of a program who is more heavily invested in the idea of "family" than SU.  This reminds of the stupid "Michigan Man" thing with Brady Hoke at Michigan, but it is what it is.

Honestly, the people most invested in the program are former players and if the AD were to move on from Desko, I think it would only be if the alum base had completely soured on him.  Where does the lacrosse program rank on Wildhack's list of priorities? Basketball and Football probably take up 90% of his time. I can't imagine that just because people on a message board are upset with the program, that means the AD is as well.

If they do convince him to move on from Desko, I can't imagine a scenario where the replacement isn't signed off on by the Alums and I can't see them not picking someone with ties to the program. Unfortunately the two leaders in that clubhouse have big question marks for me. Gait hasn't been coaching men's lacrosse and Galloway, while getting some big wins each year, hasn't put up anything consistent and I don't think he has led Jacksonville to a tournament appearance.
