I think it depends on how important Athletics and Basketball are to the school in general.

Does SU have fewer applicants than in 09-14? Could he show a great program can increase applicants?  Could he show that the decline in the program has had a negative effect on attendance over the last 8 years? etc.

I think it takes massive email campaign to his office and to Syverud for them to take notice and even that probably wont do much until the big donors start complaining to him.

A couple other things is the media, Axe finally had a column asking will Jim know when he is no longer the right man to coach the program?  He delicately asked this and discussed on his show.  But him and the rest of the guys on ESPN Syracuse are so careful to not to be critical because then they will lose their access to the program and lose them as guests on their show.  Even Mike Waters yesterday was gushing about the great candidates currently on the bench and how JW would be making a mistake going outside because those guys will want to stay here forever like JB.  I wanted to call in and be like, Mike, those guys dont even get [B]interviews[/B] at your SUNY Binghamton, Niagara, Canisius, etc level programs, so whats makes them qualified here?

I think its going to take a really bad season, like a 10-20 type season where they force him into retirement. Its either that or JW will have to go to Syverud and get reinforcements from the BOT to no longer continue his contract, either routes are ugly.
