You raise a fair point.  I give Desko credit for not throwing in the towel.  He made adjustments until he found some winning combinations.  I was disappointed in out late season collapse, but overall I have to respect what Desko accomplished this spring.  How many coaches could have pulled that rabbit from the SU hat?

I am in no hurry to replace Desko, there simply isn't a great pool of coaching talent that is readily available to a blue blood program, combined with what I perceive to be improvement overall in what should have been a down year, I am more reluctant to replace Desko.  Add in Tucker's return, a very good core returning and some fresh new highly regarded faces and this could be the leading edge of an SU resurgence.  Desko made lemonade with the lemons he was given to start the season.  I think he does the same next spring.

Change for the sake of change is rarely as good as imagined.  Especially if those close to the program see what I see from afar.  Desko has at least two years to show improvement, (h/t Jeremey).

While I understand the frustration of the fan base, I also appreciate that SU did something no school will ever accomplish in the sport: 22 straight FF's and 10 NC's.  Even SU is not likely to match that performance again.

I also believe Wildhack knows what he is doing.  He has his eyes open but is in hurry to make unnecessary changes.  If Wildhack sees what I see, he waits to see what happens next spring before pulling any trigger or even making serious contingency plans.  If Desko falls flat, things change.
