Understand how you don't agree with the Fran Brown analogy, but my original post was a reply to the one that said it would be asinine to give the keys to someone who had never been a head coach before.

It would be asinine to make that the only consideration.  Why limit the search? Obviously  head coach with a proven record and a reputation as a great recruiter would be ideal.  But SU isn't a top 5 program currently and isn't an overnight fix.  It's a rebuild and how many of those desirable head coaches are willing or looking to take on that challenge.

There are assistants who have played in youth leagues since they were six.  Played in High school and All Stars and in strong  and successful college programs.  Continuing on as assistants they've  been exposed to a lot of coaching along the way.

Is it aa gamble?  Of course.  So was Gary Gait.  Lots of experience at Maryland but who really knew.

Then he reached the Championship weekend in his first season.

By the time I post this the decision may have already been made.

In any case I'm sure Wildhack will have considered all the options.
