The hype around x's and o's is overblown when you don't have the Jimmy's and Joe's.

The AD at Niagara has been in the job for over 10+ years, transitioning from an FCS school to Niagara and sticking around ever since. Working at NU is a cushy position, not just in athletics. There's virtually no pressure, with only a small number of people genuinely interested in the sports program. The operation runs on a bare-bones basis. Surprisingly we have two message boards for the tiny amount of people that attend games.

These are all good points.
As seen in other sports...It is virtually impossible for Paulus to get fired. Not saying he should. But job secruity is important. The biggest hurdle he faces is using NU's limited resources to propel him to the next level. This usually only comes with winning and doing so for a few years.

NU's MO seems to be trading term of contract for dollars. If Greg wants to stay I suspect he will be able to ride that for quite some time.

He seems to run a clean program. No off court issues, no scandals. And very low pressure since his team is turning over so much. When was the last time an NU player graduated from NU? When was the last time a player stayed four years?

JAM's strategy was to always be the best in 3 and 4 of a good recruiting cycle. Ride the wave of a young team and have them peak when the core is set to graduate.

I think GP is a good coach. And is probably playing a hand he knows isnt winnable. He surely loves what he does and gets paid nicely to do it. His kids stay out of trouble and that at NU will get you a life time of employment

He's a Division I head coach. Those guys don't leave for a job that's not another head coaching job, unless your a Chris Casey and be climbed back up again. He's closing in on $300 with benefits if he can keep us in the top half, he is working hard and succeeding. The whole landscape of college coaching burped too along with the portal, however it's always the relationships you make along the way at our level.
