Message: [QUOTE="Sgt Cuse, post: 1644229, member: 1701"] Yes, and mid-majors can still make fluke runs to the final four. It was a nice story of an undersized team making good. Didn't the coach capitalize on that and get the Tulane gig? And yes, the carrier dome, the Big East and now the ACC have all transpired after JB has been the coach. The program has made tremendous strides and has a good foundation. Of course the hope is to transfer the huge SU following onto Hop and build on it. That would probably happen if he wins. The problems arise if he is mediocre. If he loses while employing a M2M defense, I suspect the deterioration of the fan base is much quicker. The out of state transplanted upstate NYer could lose connection pretty quick - along with Rochesterians, Binghamton, and Watertown. Having a CA native switch to a nondescript defense and have mediocre results is a recipe for one of the quickest, steepest, losses of a fan base in college history. [/QUOTE]
