Well, in the business world, it's not really whom may have more experience, there are other factors of significance that play a role to where their particular"seat on the bus" is better suited. It may have nothing to do with one's experience, desire, etc., but other capabilities such roles may require more, depending on what's ultimately needed.
As an example relating to sports, I'll use this: When Romeo Crennel was hired by the Browns for their head coaching position, he had been New England's DC. Although he had a plethora of "experience" in the biz, it was as an assistant, not a head guy, the Brown's gig was his first. Many so-called experts said he would do well, and that Crennel finally attaining a head position was way over due. Long story short, he failed there, as well as his next gig as the Chiefs head guy. So, it's not all about "experience" but other qualities one needs to be successful at certain positions. The head position simply put, wasn't Crennel's "seat on the bus."
So, if it ever comes down to Gerry, or Griffin, I'd hope that SU doesn't make one's "experience" the primary factor, especially if neither one has ever been a head coach up to that point in time.
