Tony White a Candidate for Syracuse HC Job

Well, the same question for how do you keep a good HC long term once you find one.  We used to have legendary coaches like TO, Switzer, Bowden, Paterno....etc that stayed at programs a very long time.

Now, you either have HC that think they need to jump around every 4-5 years or fan bases that think all coaches need to be fired about that time instead of letting coaches that have had some success, but maybe lost a few games, work to maintain a program and keep improving.

It's one reason why OSU fans wanting Day fired is so stupid, just because he's lost to Michigan a few times.

I also think the parody of teams made coaching jobs more even.  I didn't follow coaching jobs 30 years ago, but were OCs and DCs of teams like Nebraska, Michigan, etc really interested in going to directional state non power5 gigs?

Let's be real, cheer the fans for that one, not any administrator.  Kudos to the AD for actually doing it but no other place on Earth has fans that show up 92k strong for a women's sport period, let alone a regular season match.

Of course, NU fans show up and support better than pretty much anywhere, but it's not like it was just some half-assed or hodge-podge event thrown together.  Not only just the gutsy decision to do it, but the planning, coordinating and promoting was all very impressive. This all happened under Trev's watch and I think it's fair that he deserves some of the credit.
