Can you elaborate on this comment?

I agree with your basic premise, that replacing JB is not going to be as easy as many on the board seem to think.

But I don't see how Georgetown and Syracuse are equivalent in many ways.  I assume you mean the HC job at Georgetown is equivalent to the HC job at Syracuse in many ways.

I suppose there are a fair number of alums at both schools that have unrealistic expectations.

Neither school has historically spent a lot of money hiring big name coaches.  Both have been reluctant to make many changes to the HC position.

But Georgetown has next to no fanbase.

Georgetown is in a conference with almost no income from media.  Further, the Big East has nowhere near the visibility the ACC has in terms of television.

Georgetown has been a bad basketball program for 4 years now.  Here is their record over that time:

18-15 (8-10) NIT
22-11 (12-6) NCAA
15-18 (7-11)
14-18 (5-13)

They haven't been involved with a top recruit in years and haven't been nationally relevant forever.
