Agree.  I think that when the next PSU coach is fired, then he would be a good candidate if Syracuse is doing well.

Of course, if he leaves during/after 2 years, then he is a mercenary-type coach and good riddance.  And, in this era, mercenary coaches bring their best players and recruits with them... so it's not like you leave the program in good shape.  No remotely-wise blue blood program will be taking him right now either.  So it would be just a stepping stone job... like Rhule has done with Temple, Baylor, Nebraska, etc.  Leaving Syracuse to go to Maryland or Rutgers or Arkansas for that matter cannot be about winning championships. Penn State is at least about winning championships.

However, if a guy puts us on the map for 5-6 years, and gets an opportunity to go to a blueblood or something close to it (Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, etc.)... then like Dick Mac, we wish him well.  At that point, we would have some stronger legs to stand on our own and get ourselves a coach to maintain the momentum.  And one can understand that perhaps our ceiling just is not high enough to win championships.  Few programs really are.
