Just read an article that said SU offered job to SU Alum / BC Assistant Coach but she turned it down... anything is possible but there are some additional SU Alumni that are probably being considered. IMHO JS would be a great hire.
A program like Syracuse, in my opinion, will hire a proven head coach, I doubt that whom ever they hire that this will be their first HC job. Albany HC was star at SU Wagner HC was star at SU Pat Mcabe was a star at SU coached Adelphi womens to several Nat Championships
When Gait came in, he had been the Assistant coach at MD.
