WTH does a hundred years have to do with now?  I’m realistic.  I gave up my orange colored glasses long ago. Some has to let folks know the emperor has no clothes.  I long ago moved away  from living in Orange fantasy land.  You know, the one where the people who believed JB when he said this was his best class ever live.

What head coach has Syracuse ever hired away from a peer program?   I’ll wait. Heck, for WBB, we went to UB so we could hire an alumnae.

Years ago, in the BE, when the program was rocking, SU could have had a number of highly successful successors for JB.  Now, JB has been allowed to run the program into the ground.  We are in no one’s discussions for ACC champs, let alone NCAA champs.

One problem is that the area and the university have no real differentiators (location, weather, other unique industries for spouses to work), to elevate it enough to leave a peer school.  No successful HC is going to make a lateral move to Syracuse.  Particularly to follow a HOF coach.

Names people throw out are just lunacy: Few, Wright, Bennett, etc.  Crazy.  If you want to believe SU can, or will, hire such a coach, you’ll only be disappointed.

Now, maybe a guy like Sampson would want to leave Houston to go to the ACC, but I don’t consider Houston as a peer school.
