My thoughts on top lead chances:
Grasso
Sha
Brevin Knight
Van Macon
Jim Ferry
Mike Rice
I agree the job is a career killer. Sha would have to recruit really well. I watched Fordham against URI without Fats Russell and they looked bad. Lost by 10 and it was not that close URI actually had more turnovers than FGs in the 2nd half. Fordham should be in the MAAC.No way I leave for that job if I’m Sha.
Grasso recruited well there and that would make a ton of sense if they can convince him to leave.
This has to be one of the worst jobs in the country right now. They haven't had a winning record in the A-10 since 2006-07 and a winning record overall since 2015-16. Before that you have to go back to the aforementioned 06-07 season for their previous winning season.
Not just sub .500 years either. Neubauer was 61-104 in six-plus seasons, Tom Pecora 44-106 in five years, Dereck Whittenburg had a few solid years but was 69-112 in six-plus seasons, Bob Hill was 36-78 in four years. Even Macarchuk was 161-192 in 12 years but his last six years he was 51-112.
The downfall was the move from the MAAC to the Patriot League in 1990-91 and thirty years later the program hasn't recovered. They were ill-equipped to move to the A-10 five years later and except for a few years haven't been competitive.
Talk about a rebuild. Woof.
This may not be the right move but Sha needs to get out of St. Peter’s ASAP. I don’t think it’s a place for realistic long term success (at MAAC level). He’s playing with fire there. U fail at St. Peter’s and your head coaching career is over before it got started.
I have to laugh. Of course they're in very different places now but the way you started to describe their history made me think of Rutgers! 😂 Before last year RU didn't have an overall winning record for 10 years longer than Fordham...2005-2006! 😮This has to be one of the worst jobs in the country right now.

From the article why the hell would any of these guys consider it unless they need a big pay check?Fordham fires men’s college hoop coach Jeff Neubauer
The daunting job that is Fordham men’s basketball has spit out yet another previously successful coach. Jeff Neubauer joined the club on Monday that includes Tom Pecora, Dereck Whittenburg, Bob Hil…nypost.com
From the article why the hell would any of these guys consider it unless they need a big pay check?
former head coaches with past success in the area in Steve Lavin and Fran Fraschilla, veterans types like Pittsburgh assistant Tim O’Toole, Washington assistant Jerry Hobbie, a Fordham alum, and former Georgia Tech and George Mason head coach Paul Hewitt,
Yes they do but the 2020 season was cancelled because of the pandemic. They have had three straight losing seasons in 2017, 2018 and 2019 but in 2014 they were 11-3 and in 2015 and 2016 they were 9-3 and 8-3 respectively.Who was the good 6'7 center who played for Fordham a while ago...like the mid 70s? He could play some.
They spent more $ on FB. Does anyone know they still play fb?
With no emotional investment in Fordham, I would be absolutely fascinated to see how this played out. The first three reasons you lay out are all compelling, as far as the positives go. But how bad could it get? Hard to say, but the fact is that Gonzalez has been out of the college game for a full decade-plus now. That's a lot of time to reflect on his career up to 2010. Is he capable of analyzing himself critically and being able to diagnose the many things he did wrong? Some will say he is not a bad guy at his essence but rather, is profoundly insecure and I think that caused most of his problems. But he can coach, and (when with the permission of everyone in his home) can certainly recruit. Is his rep still too damaged from a decade ago? I know he wouldn't get a job in the Big East again, but if Fordham wants to ever be competitive in the A-10, it needs to throw up a Hail Mary here. I can't see any quality conventional choice wanting to take on that lift, but Gonzo?But you know who is not a [completely] insane thought? Gonzo. He'd come cheap, knows the territory, would light up the tiny gym, and get a lot of publicity. Of course he could single-handedly drive its well-earned academic reputation into the ground. The issue would be, could he point things in the right direction there before self destructing.
The Fordham job is a career killer.
Is Fordham a step up from St Peters? Doubt Sha wouldMy thoughts on top lead chances:
