[B][I]On approaching 10 years in Syracuse (Gross was hired in December of 2004):[/I][/B]
[I]"It has gone so fast. My oldest daughter is going to Syracuse next year. It was between USC and Syracuse, and she chose Syracuse. It feels so good. I am really happy for her. My 13-year old wants to go here, too.

"We have had two little girls born here in Syracuse. Syracuse is our home. We love it here. The people have been so awesome. Our neighbors have been just fantastic. It is just such a close knit group of people. It has been wonderful for us. We have a lot of energy and a lot of passion. I feel like it is just the tip of the iceberg and have a lot more to bring."

[B][I]On if he can see himself in Syracuse for the next 10 years:[/I][/B]
[I]"I see myself trying to make this program the best in the country. That is what is my passion is. That we can do it. That we can graduate all our student-athletes. That we can give our student-athletes the best experience possible. That they can go out and be global leaders. That is what we are trying to do here. I love doing that. That’s what we do for a living and we are all passionate about it. That’s our mission.”[/I]
