Interesting

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

I’d sure give him a shot if I were Fordham. He’s more connected to the elite programs locally than Grasso I’d have to imagine.

 

[FastMJ]

I was on the Fordham campus yesterday for the first time. A lot nicer than I expected. We checked it out after visit to the Botanic Gardens.

Fordham is a tough job.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Nearly impossible to be successful there given the conference they're playing in. Over their heads. But good luck to Coach Knight if he wants it and gets it.

 

[rufeelinit]

I would think Grasso would be the favorite amongst the names mentioned.

Grasso will likely be P5 bound if he gets Bryant back to the Tourney. Why settle for Fordham?

 

[BigEastPhil]

I agree. Of the candidates, Grasso has the best resume and if he is offered the job, I'm skeptical whether he takes it - but money talks !

Grasso it appears can recruit NYC area terrifically and probabaly parlay his job - whether it be at Fordham or if he remains at Bryant - to St Johns shortly. I don't see Anderson being there much longer as they have underachieved past several years.

Per Zags, Grasso is not going to Fordham. It is a coaching Graveyard.

 

[RUTax]

Grasso was an assistant at Fordham and also interim head coach about 12-14 years ago

Didn't seem to bury Kyle Neptune.

 

[RUJMM78]

Knight needs to accept one of these lower level head coaching positions to build a resume for later getting the Pitt job .

 

[Plum Street]

Bruiser flint? Talk about a guy with staying power in this business . Has he ever won anything?

 

[Lawboy12007]

From the RU Math Dept.

Neptune was the exception that proves the rule.

 

[ImBadRU]

he is not taking that job, maybe to negotiate a higher wage

Just got a bump. Would not be in favor of giving him another. I would consider Fordham a much better job than St. Peters.

Agreed. We aren't increasing his salary twice in under a 2 month span.

Most coaches in Their league allegedly make over a million according to a story the Post ran a few years ago.

When my daughter was looking at colleges we visited Fordham for a day. From New Jersey we followed the directions on their website. A beautiful ride from the GWB north on the Henry Hudson than through Van Cortlandt Park and past the Botanical Gardens. My daughter was impresses. Than going home I followed GPS for shortest ride. Through the South Bronx. Different story.
But it is an excellent school.

1200 Plus guys in the Portal change the dynamic of where you can win and where you can't.

Is Fordham an easy job ?

No but it's easier now than it was 2 years ago.

 

[ouchmyknee]

Hearing there’s a very good chance Knight will take job if offered.

If offered for the right $$$, why not. He needs to take the leap sooner or later if he wants to be HC. I assume the extension included a bigger buyout.

 

[rob kight]

If Grasso gets the job, does Peter Kiss get another 4 years?

Maybe to get players from portal, BIT also to lose players in the portal.

NIL is a becoming bigger factor in pay to play
Can Fordham match $ ?

No they can't but so many of these guys are going to have no place to go on July 1 you can steal some decent players .

Fordham Asst was offered job

I doubt it. Generally, there is no buyout when a assistant coach leaves to be a headcoach.

Fordham Asst was offered job

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Didn't seem to bury Kyle Neptune.

He was only there for one year and already had a long history with Jay Wright and Villanova.

Do you think he would have gotten the Villanova job if he did not show a significant improvement in Fordham's W/L record in year one? They were +14 in wins from last year. Many people thought RU was a graveyard job. If BK has confidence in his abilities he takes a local metro area A-10 job. Its crazy to think that he merits starting at a higher level as HC except maybe at Pitt and RU if everything aligns.
