Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMuskyFish, post: 37999, member: 261"] The programs are all a brand, and the coaches make up a huge part of it, so separating the coaches from the brand isn't all that easy. When it comes to Syracuse University, Boeheim is a much bigger influence on the Syracuse brand than the coaches at 99% of the other schools. Jim has shown longevity, an ability to win, the ability to recruit, become synonymous with his community, and won his title. For his successor, it will be hard enough to just maintain the current brand. To strengthen it, he's going to have to win at least another national championship, while adding some twist of his own to what JB has already laid down. [/QUOTE]
