Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 3022298, member: 6798"] The Starsia to Tiffany transition at UVA is the absolute best case scenario for a coaching change, but I am not sure there is a coach out there like a Tiffany in 2016 who is both realistically available, and trending upward in such an impressive way that I would be optimistic about our teams improvement if they came aboard now. Names thrown around, like Chemotti at Richmond and Galloway, have done an excellent job of turning around programs that were once off the map entirely, but our gauntlet of a schedule is like nothing they have had to deal with in their careers so far. If Wildhack got on TV tomorrow and said "I replaced Desko with a guy whose team went 10-7 and lost to Mount St Mary's and lost 7-14 to Airforce in April last year! (Chemotti at Richmond)" or "with a guy who went 6-9 and lost to High Point by 14 in May! (Jacksonville)" he would be insulted to no end for his reckless decision making, no matter how quick and impressive their program turnarounds have been. The list of guys I would be fine with coming in next year is quite short and I believe they are all pipe dreams for coming here. That would be Danowski, Tambroni, and Shay, with Tiffany and Toomey as a maybes. A guy to keep an eye on could be Mike Murphy at Penn. He has brought Penn back into relevance these past few years and he certainly knows what a gauntlet schedule is like. He also may want a school with a greater tradition/reputation that truly puts a great deal of focus on lacrosse. But again this year is his one year of any tourney appearance/success at all and he certainly hasn't had Deskos consistent track record in the regular season as of yet. Not many could come in and get us to a record that the ncaa deems worthy of a home game year in and year out like desko has. If I was to truly join the fire desko train I would only be satisfied with going big or going home at present. Nothing about Desko's performance has convinced me that we need to rush to bring in a guy like Chemotti or Galloway NOW before it's too late. [/QUOTE]
