Seth Greenberg to St. John's Rumors Heating Up

PrintThe Richmond Times-Dispatch reported this morning on a story that broke last night in the New York Post: Seth Greenberg is on St. John's short list for potential head coaches.
Just over a week ago, I said that this was going to be a move the Johnnies would seriously consider, and it looks like they were already thinking that way.
When your hometown team comes calling with an offer of nearly double your current salary, it makes for a tough, tough decision.
Has he built a stable program in Blacksburg? Yes.
Do his daughters go to Virginia Tech? Yes, well only one of them will after his eldest Paige graduates in May.
I'm not saying Seth is already out the door, but there is no way in hell he doesn't entertain the offer. I know this is his dream job, and even if the timing might be less than ideal, dreams don't hang around forever.

Is it really his dream job?
He’s built a winner at VT and could contend for some ACC title action in the next couple years. I don’t see St. Johns competing in the Big East…ever. Why would he want to leave other than it being his alma mater? Seems like Hokietown is a better place to be.
I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.
Yes it is better.
1. Greenburg went to Farliegh Dickenson in NJ not St. Johns.
2. SJU is the #7 winningest team of all time. Saying they cant win EVER is both ignorant and ludicrous.
3. SJU is in the most fertile recruiting ground in the country, VT area just cant compare to NYC and Northern NJ.
4. The Big East is the better conference, fact. He will get more exposure, money and prestige coaching in NYC. The ACC is down, saying he would stay because the conference is getting weaker isnt an argument in your favor.
5. MSG. Getting to play storied franchises like UConn, Syracuse, Georgetown and Villanova in the Garden every year blows out playing Miami and Fla St in Blacksburg. Every team outside of USF has been to a final four. Thats history right there.
