Does John Danowski Retire On Top If Duke Wins A National Title Within These Next Few Years?

[gymman1031]

He is still on his game. But he is 69 years-old, and he wouldn't have much else to accomplish.

I think John Danowski retires "on top" regardless of whether his team wins another NC. His ability to right the program in a perilous situation and produced excellence on and off the field is a legacy that does not need to be embellished with additional titles. Oh, and I a 'Hoo who hates Duke

Where is the "Who Cares" option in the poll?

agreed; should be an option in the poll. I don't think it's an "IF", it's just when and that may have nothing to do with Duke's next couple of seasons.

Will his son get the job?

Danowski's contract ends this year. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been extended already. The last two extensions were announced in June/July of 2013 & 2018.

this is the only blemish on what I otherwise have to admit has been a stellar career. lowandaway is correct - John Danowski is a good man and coach. But nepotism is not a good look. I get that it is great to be able to work with your son - and that is a great privilege IF you own the company. But last I checked Dano does not, in fact, OWN Duke Lacrosse.....

His legacy is otherwise fine. And this from someone who's kids knew that "Duke is Puke" from a very early age....
