Jeremy, for the life of me I cannot figure out the criteria posters are using to pick a new coach which by the way we do after every non NC year.  Shays, Chemotti, Galloway seem to me flavor of the month, emotional stabs with either a couple very good years or alumnae bias influencing the choices.  I offer one determining criterion, winning years across two or more programs with mediocre histories.  Two examples come to mind, Tierney and Tambroni.  Tierney may be too old to take on another challenge, however; he is a great coach.  Tambroni would be a lock for me.  Tiffany may prove himself to be a third this year.  I'd hire them in a New York second.  The problem of course is that both Tambroni and Tiffany are on the cusp of an NC. Another criterion might be six or more years with a high percentage of wins and or tournament appearances.  Oops, SU already has one of them.  Toomey might be another.  Alberici fits.  I guess I'd like to hear posters talk about their criteria a lot more before I go rushing out the door to hire these guys.  Oh, oh I have recommended Brodie Merrill more than once in these fora.  Oh hell why not take a flier.  He's still the best coach out there.
