As a Flyer fan, I don't understand all this talk of Gregory leaving. In my opinion, he's more likely to be canned then offered bigger, better coaching positions.
In his 5 years with the program his records have been:
2003-04 24-9 (NCAA First Round)
2004-05 18-11
2005-06 14-17
2006-07 19-12
2007-08 23-11 (NIT Quarterfinals)
The 03-04 was a loaded (by A-10 standards), senior-laden team that had been the NCAA tournament the previous year. After 03-04, the cupboard was completely bare, and BG has pretty much had to build the program from scratch. But the results haven't exactly been enthralling. Good recruiter, mediocre at developing talent, and a mediocre X and O coach. The next two years will be telling. What he's capable of accomplishing without the best player the Flyers have seen in a decade, Roberts, should tell what kind of coach he really is.
In my opinion, most Flyer fans would prefer BG to stick around, but if he were to leave, there'd be no worry about folks jumping from Kettering Tower.
And to tie this all back into Payne, it's more likely a losing season, or two, get BG shown the door, than being cherry-picked by a BCS school.
