I ask again because I smell the smoke, is Gross remotely in trouble of getting canned and/or taking another job?  I think everything revolves around that decision regarding new direction, coach, etc. I agree Shafer shouldn't be canned but the program needs an enema. The bowl games are fools gold. If there was such bowl games in the mid 90s, we would have gone to halfway decent ones in 93 and 94 (when we had good teams that slumped down the stretch).

People need to stop lauding what Marrone did because it assumes the program was fixed when he left. He did a wonderful job of making them a step above irrelevant but they were still, on reputation alone, a fringe program. Again, this isn't a shot at Marrone or a pat on the back to Pasqualoni. The facts are the facts to me. We haven't sniffed receiving votes since 2002. Let alone the polls. That's pathetic. I look at it another way, if we could summon Nick Saban to Syracuse, I guarantee he could fix it under 18 months. There are other Saban lites lurking. Maybe Shafer is one with one more cycle of recruits. We need to find that guy. Maybe it's Tressel at some point. I don't know and I'm not paid to know. All I do know is this doesn't pass the smell test at all to me.

We need to figure out a way to make syracuse SYRACUSE again. That to me is the big issue. The hoops program is SYRACUSE.
