All fair points. And, it says something to me that this was your initial opinion in 2012. I'll agree that if we have another season in 2015 that shows no promise, or rudderless as you say because I like that description, changes have to be made. I'm not so sure they'll involve HCSS, but, I have literally zero knowledge to back that up.
 
My only concern is this, there are literally no names that are realistic candidates for Syracuse that entice me. At least that I've heard or seen anyway. Ideally, I'd like a guy with significant HC experience and NFL experience as well on his resume. Couple that with an innovative OC and a staff with recruiting ties and I'd be optimistic.
 
But, if you throw in the perceived instability of our AD right now I don't even want to consider a change. If Gross changed coaches next year (2015), and then was fired the year after (2016), there's a good chance the new AD is going to bring in a new FB staff in year 2 of their tenure (2017-2018). Unless ofcourse we're successful. So that means we'll be on coach number 4 in a 6 year stretch. Obviously this is all speculation. But a rotating door at the HC position is the worst thing that can happen.
 
I think we should either make a commitment to move forward with Gross for the forseeable future or we rip off the band aid. The way Syverud has moved up until this point, I think we'll have a definitive answer by Spring 2016.
