Respectfully, I agree to disagree.

If we can find another coach who has success here, we will simply not be able to fend off the bigger schools if they come calling.  We do not have the resources or prestige versus other schools.  Had Shafer been successful here, I truly think he would've stuck with us.  He had already been here for 7 seasons and was from Ohio.

For example, let's say we land Scott Frost.  After 4 years, Frost has us going 10-2 and competing for an ACC Championship.  USC, Nebraska or Oregon decide they want to tab him as their next HC.  We don't have a lot of ammo when they come calling.  We could probably raise his financial package/incentives, but these other schools have far vaster resources to tap into.  For that reason alone, Syracuse may not be a destination school.

When Coach P got this gig, it was one of the best jobs in the land.  Of course, he was going to stick around for awhile.

I think we would be hard-pressed to find another coach right now, unless it's a former player or coach here, that would stick around if other schools started to pursue him.  I hope I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.
