Amidst a flurry of unsubstantiated reports, news came out this morning from a New Jersey basketball reporter that Seton Hall AD Pat Lyons will be staying with the school and will not be pursuing the Boston College position
As the Boston College AD search winds to a close, I'm told Pat Lyons, who got a long look, will be staying at Seton Hall. Good news for SHU.

Lyons would have been a controversial candidate as he had very little experience in the football world. On the other hand he has done a nice job turning around the basketball program from a basement dweller into two straight NCAA tournaments.
