That's not the point.  The point is you need to promote what you have to promote.  Whether Gait proves to be a great, good, mediocre, bad or terrible coach remains to be seen and isnt really relevant.

We can't sell a pipeline to Goldman Sachs.  We can't sell an Ivy League education (Stevens comment on the difference between Princeton and SU was funny).  We can't sell an army of brainwashed alums.

What you can sell now is the opportunity to play for guy who was the most dynamic, game changing player, in lacrosse history?  "But that was before these kids were born."  Remind them.  We had a middie who through the most daring behind the back place in NCAA history.  We had a pole that threw a full field BTB pass on a clear.  Michael Sowers- just doing an imitation of Mikey Powell.  Play inside where it's always warm.  Where the most fans attend.  At the school with the most Championships and final fours.

It's weird to me that sports is all about being an alpha and our Athletics Department allows the lacrosse program to be a beta.

Amplo is not Gait's peer.  If that was a photo of Gretzky (sucked as a coach) with some journeyman coach, the caption would have read something like "Coach X taking it in with The Great One," not "two great minds."
