    Return of the slobbernocker

    I think Coach Brown has said we are going to run the ball and stop the run. Just listening to him sounds like he could love a good old fashion slug fest as much as a wide open bombs away offensive explosion. The 1992 Miami Game at the dome in my opinion is the best game ever played at the dome...

    Damien Alford in the portal as a Grad Transfer

    OMG i read in this thread that Coach Brown has some chinks in his Armor, holy cow what will i do, I have found out a Football coach is not perfect but is maybe just a man a human man with faults like everyone else , oh what a let down i might not be able to carry on. The only thing i might add...

    If there was a players-only meeting…

    back when i first started watching ande really getting into basketball Freshman couldnt play on Varsity college teams. Heck Lew Alcinder and players like that had to play JV

    If there was a players-only meeting…

    yeah i was agreeing with you, you dont need senior laden teams to win championships or even be good, you just needs good players, coaching i think. The history of the NCAA is full of championships lead by freshman or sophomores .

    If there was a players-only meeting…

    Michigan fab 5 that went to two final fours in a row was built around Freshman and then sophomores. Duke for sure there are other but it doesnt happen that much

    FSU vs The ACC

    ESPN and Fox are like old dinaosaurs right now. The NFL basically put a playoff game on a streaming network and said FU to fans and the Fans bought it up anyway, The Future of Big time college football is not going to be tied to old leagues and old TV contracts, Its likely ESPN gets spun off...

    FSU vs The ACC

    why would Florida state or any of these other schools be ready to pay potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to get out of the ACC to just eventually be in a 64 team league with 2- 32 reams divisions which would include many of the teams they are trying to get away from? and having them be...

    FSU vs The ACC

    Why do people keep thinking 64 teams super conference league is going to happen? Are you missing the reason FSU and Clemson and maybe North Carolina and Virginia want to leave. They dont want dead weight getting the same money they do, they have no intent to share money with teams that are not...

    FSU vs The ACC

    Look I think things like NIL are going to go away in the new league that will form. The NCAA is even looking at schools directly being able to pay players. You are not going to be invited to play with the big boys if you can pay your team Its a consideration that has to be made. NIL is not going...

    FSU vs The ACC

    I actually think when all is said and done there are teams currently in both the SEC and Big Ten and the Big18 that will be left out. This is totally about football and name brand that people will invest time or money in. I think for purposes of putting other conferences out of business it...

    damn shame how the program has been treated the last 20 years

    damn shame how the program has been treated the last 20 years

    my ire was more directed at the previous leadership at the school. I mean this guy walks in and in two weeks he is bring in guys who wouldnt even sniff SU before. These kinds of players didnt just appear in NJ they been there all along. Even Marrone didnt get this kind of player. of course he...

    damn shame how the program has been treated the last 20 years

    After McCord commitment and reading in various places i was not only struck by how much negative comments he got from Ohio ST fans but the overall almost laughing at the thought of SU Football. I mean from comments like i didnt even know they played football anymore to oh he will lead them to a...

    well like Justin Pugh i put my deposit down for the two seasons straight off the couch because i think there is a lot of buzz and potential, I dont care if they bring back the freeze option if it means they run a serviceable offense , Im betting with my money that we are going to be better and...

    Props to AD Wildhack - he's better at his job than we are!!

    Im pretty excited i just put my 100.00 deposit down in two tickets for next year whenever they go on sale for newbies or people like me coming back, but the new coach hasnt taken the field yet so little early for some of the jargon. I hope you are right but i want to see with my eyes wins on the...

    I think im on my way to ordering the whole damn crow

    If the report that we hired away the A&M DC coordinator in a possible money battle, i think i am going to have to stuff down the whole crow. It seems that Wildhack and many others are serious about big Boy Football . Its a meal i will gladly eat

    Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game

    The what Wu-Tang stands for in the name of Wu-tang Clan. I sure hope the new coach it witty and i hope his offense is unpredictable and hard to stop. I think he will upgrade the talent based on his recruits based on past record With his Northeast roots he seems like a natural fit at SU I...

    Fran Brown

    I looked at 247 sports top 50 recuiters for 2023 which Fran Brown is 8th or whatever , What i was really looking for was how many head coaches are on the list and i found the grand total of 1 and thats the guy in Tulsa. I have already posted in this thread that as long as his current head coach...

    Fran Brown

    In normal times i think this would be a good list of potential coaches at SU, In fact its probably what you might expect. I actually think i like Brown the best , i think in normal times he might be just what we need and would be given more leeway than the other candidates because he has never...

    Dan Mullen

    Im rooting for Mullen and hope it is but look; Wildhack has hired new coaches at all of Syracuse dome using teams in the last couple of years and all of those hires put together are not as important as this one. This is way more important that he and the BOT and Chancellor get this right this...

    Dan Mullen

    Dan Mullen

    any speculation on any potential hire being a great coach is just well speculation and nothing more. here are the facts and they are undisputed 1)Chesney has never been successful coach at the highest level , Mullen has 2) Chesney has never recruited players at the highest level, Mullen has...

    Dan Mullen

    You can handle the truth You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want Mullen as coach -- you need Mullen as coach. We use words like "fans," "tickets," "loyalty." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent loving our team. I have...

    Babers fired according to Thamel

    The University is putting the finishing touches on the Dome and Football complex. They are in a shaky potatoes situation conference wise. They may not be saved by a High functioning basketball program in the future ( even if they return to glory). Right now the school has to get this right its...

    Tony White

    The quote from Josh Black is nice however when Malone bolted his dream job the defensive players were screaming for Shaefer to get the head coach job , SU needs to conduct a well thought out and totally inclusive national search for a head coach. without any preconceptions of anybody other than...

    Tony White

    he is 44 years old, which is not young for an up and coming head coach prospect. 1) has he ever interviewed for a head coach job before? 2) if he is a hot prospect why has a big name school not been all over him and at least given him an interview? 3) schools that really want to win will be all...

    ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

    If the ACC was smart , they would put a 100 percent full court press to add navy for football only. By promising them a partial share of revenue. Then go back to Notre Dame and say listen with your agreement to play 5 ACC teams already and now adding your yearly rival Stanford and Navy, its...

    SU Targeting Robert Anae as New OC / Jason Beck as New QB Coach per Thamel and ESPN

    They may also want to announce any more additions to the staff at the same time since I think they have one spot left . Also Jaime beck appears to have been a pretty good soccer player in her own right at BYU so good on her a welcome addition to the community .

    Pitt QB Kedon Slovis in the portal again

    While im not defending the OP i would say this, I bet his opinion matches more of the casual fan of syracuse Football. the last 5 to 10 years or more including the current regime. Its easy to pile on him because the 5000 or so members of this small community here at this website is probably the...
