Hopefully he will be replaced by a person who believes the sports they cover should not be banned...

Why would Syracuse not have the "Hop" option in 3-5 years? This could very easily be the best thing for Cuse. Hop gets experience actually running a power 5 conference team, in a new recruiting area, and could choose to... wait for it... return to his beloved alma mater to coach for the rest...

I don't know that anyone on this thread thinks it should be the focus. Rather, it is a perfect by-product of the current state of college hoops for Syracuse to utilize where necessary. It seems our draft-able players declare at a 90% plus clip, even if they spent 80%+ of the year off all mock...

Maybe, just maybe, Quade's coach is putting this out there to add the suspense back into his announcement? Too many people predicted 'Cuse for sure, and they wanted to throw doubt into that plan... Yeah, that sounds like a good reason to me. Come on over to the loudhouse Plan A.

I'll bite. Since the question is between these two: 1. A 6'9"+ forward who was a major contributor on a college team that went to the final 4, who can shoot with the best of them, play both forward positions and add minutes as a scoring Center coming back for a junior year (which is nearly...

I have been 100% new uniform defender, but these are ridiculous. Need at least the orange helmet, or pants. These look more like uconn than Cuse.

Blizz explained it kinda perfectly. It's a really good thing. The Northerners are a bit tougher, absolutely stick to their word, and the Jon Snow character is about as likable a character as you will find in television (a tough, altruistic like-ability). He does the dirty work, has been given...

Looks like Frost may get back into the Big 12 sooner than we thought. Well, actually he might leave for Nebraska BEFORE CF gets into the Big 12. Thank gosh we hired Babers instead...

I think, as mentioned prior, that there are a LOT of moving parts, and partners involved. These major contractors have subs who want to promote their part in this landmark re-design. It is a challenge to keep every source from leaking in any project of this magnitude. Personally, I don't...

One of my buddies is a big Spartan fan. One of their most "in the know" mods on their main fan board said they are now backing away from TT. He said he's a guy that's rarely wrong. Fwiw

So what if Coyle felt it was a cluster? That does not make it a cluster. Athletics departments are measured on their overall success of the sports programs (with emphasis on the "revenue sports"), keeping the facilities up to date/competitive, and meeting the budget. The success the 'Cuse has...

Shafer was his coach for the whole time. That 3rd different coach stuff seems like kind of a made-up reason. When a defensive coordinator, who likes the player, gets promoted to head coach, it's good for the player. My guess is (from a distance, not knowing him at all), as was listed above, he...

Best rhetorical question ever!

'Cuse is not Rutgers or George Mason, silly analogy. The response was saying that two good teams (that can go deep); would the transfer go to a team with a hole in lineup to hopefully contribute greatly, or simply gravytrain on a F4 favorite. We have a 7'2" center coming in next year (in...

Cost plus $50 each. Mentioned they could probably put on the open market for more. Would not blame anyone for maximizing their return.

I was going to say I will buy drinks too, but I don't think the NCAA sells alcohol at the events. If beer's a flowing, I'm a buying! Hopefully we all sit together, brothers and sisters in orange!

I figure if you don't ask you don't receive. If anyone has access to their allotments (more tix than they are bringing peeps), I will buy 2 tix from you. Would paypal immediately. You will be sitting next to a 'Cuse diehard class of '91 (and his wife, converted Orange as well) . I'll pay an...

What is this "more use" you are referring to? Do you think bands are not coming to Syracuse because they don't want to play in the dome? Do you think monster truck rallies skip Syracuse because of the dome? The dome is a far better concert venue than almost any arena in the USA, save for...

DD was a LB, not a DE. I'm just saying his style and build reminds me of DD for some reason.

He reminds me of Dyshawn Davis for some reason. Like Dyshawn's build when he was a freshman. Also, Dyshawn was always in the offensive backfield almost immediately on his splash plays like this kid (though Dyshawn laid a much bigger lick when he met the ball carrier). Looks like a person that...

What a ridiculous whine session on this thread! I thought the thread was going to talk about recently announced commits. Instead grownups whining about tag lines the the staff and recruits are embracing. Domedudes works. Enjoy the ride. Start a new thread so you can whine that the old uniforms...

That guy has passion and charisma. I don't know why folks are neutral on his speech. It was fine for what it was. He had me pumped. Can't wait to see his team on the field.

That would be outstanding if he could learn this offensive system. Then he would have Marrone's "multiple" pro based, and this Briles/Leach spread

Coach Lewis runs twitter like a boss!

I liked the boom. But, many of us have been (rightfully) complaining for years that we don't use the dome as a recruiting advantage. This crew has has embraced it. They need to keep on reminding the recruits. This is what makes us different. Two strung together words "Dome" (our identity), and...

From what I understand, the S&C coach is one of the main contacts for the players in periods where coaches need to limit their interface with student athletes. So on top of a guy that can physically train the players in the methods that complement Dino's style, this coach will be the key person...

I would take any of them. Seriously. But gun to head Urb would be choice 1. But he does not run the latest and most wide open offense these days...

With the board freaking out about any potential Defensive Coordinator being chosen as the potential coach, I thought it would be useful to put together a list of the top college coaches of the last decade (at least who I consider to be the top ones). These are coaches who would be A-listers...

Because we have not been able to recruit mid level db talent. I like Bullough as a human being, but did not think he was as strong as Shafer. Shafer would have never replaced him. Therefore we'd get same level of recruits and same scheme (a scheme where we play 15 yards off receivers and get...

If we hire Ash, we hire a key, high level assistant (some say co-DC, some say de facto DC) picked by the best coach in football today, who coaches at a university 6 hrs from Syracuse (a school with recruiting relationship pipelines among the top 5 in the nation). In addition to that experience...

So, seeing that "hiring a football coach" is a task he will hopefully do once every 3-4 years (and that timeframe only happens if the pick is VERY successful, or Vice versa); also adding in that football was/is a large driver for conference realignment (and university prestige, and massive real...

If we hire Frost...The only way Nebraska hires him is if he is successful for SU. That is a positive. If we hire him, we are one of the only east coast programs running a system based on the Chip Kelly offense. How many elite, or even average pro nfl players can you name from Oregon? They must...

I think this momentum forming that if a decision is not made/announced by early next week will be dangerous for this board's collective psyche. Most of the good coaches and assistants are coaching this weekend, and even the next weekend in conference championship games. If Coyle really is...

So, are you saying they won't have concerts, and other events (statewide HS playoffs, and many others) at the dome like they do now?

So, If it remains on campus, but benefits the region (and your alma mater's students btw), you are not for a plug nickel of state money going to it. If it is located next to a mall, with a parking lot available for BBQs, you are all for state money going to it. I get it. Excellent line in...

Respectfully, when you charge the tuition that Syracuse charges, it does matter how they are ranked nationally. That is their pact with the students. They charge the tuition associated with one of the most prestigious universities in the land, and they uphold that ranking/ national perception...

It is The Syracuse University teams that we are supporting, not the Syracuse Chiefs. The locals who support the program will go where the team plays. They are life-long fans. They know their way around the campus' parking limitations. If you move it off campus, you will lose many of the...

This might be the most embarrassing story I've ever seen regarding the coaching. Pop warner coaches can teach teams to vary the snap count. Either the story is total nonsense, or the coaching was abysmal.

Looks like a great hire. What more can we ask for in pedigree? Key part of AD office at a hoops blue blood, check. Leads football power who succeeds despite not being in the most talent laden state for recruits, check. Excellent record on academics, check. Experience working out of sanctions...

He did not "say no." That is a stretch by you. His agent may have only been contacted as the search firm was developing a candidate list. Even our lowest point in football (which is the premier sport in college athletics), is miles higher than bucknell's position. I really don't feel like...

It would not be a difficult "sell." If you polled every Athletic Director in the country, I would guess 99.9 % of them would say the Syracuse AD job is a better role than the Bucknell role. SU is Power 5, better facilities, higher revenue from gate and conference contracts, more sports, more...

I grew up in Buffalo, and read their news almost daily. That author, Bucky Gleason, is a pretty negative troll (there are actually two of them in Buffalo, king troll Jerry Sullivan- think Bud P with a worse disposition; and Bucky, troll junior). I remember the moment when that article came out...

Holy cow, like you mentioned earlier. The similarities are unreal...Rex is Nassib 2.0! They say the next version fixes all the bugs in the old version. And Nassib 1.0 was a pretty darn good college QB. High Character parents, athletic kid that they say is a leader. Pumped!!

Love That!!! Nice 1/2 with QB RB, now onto the big bodies...

Let me ask you this Alsacs, since you seem to be the most put off by this 'over-reaching" punishment. If you were Bob Kraft, and upon learning two "rogue" equipment handlers cause this sh#tstorm of bad press, the loss of your generationally great QB, $1M, and 2 draft picks... Wouldn't you make...

By the way 'Cuse fans, we can benefit from this both ways. In football, we especially can benefit as we can get a Russell Wilson type of transfer at QB (or pick ANY position we need depth in- the list is unfortunately longer than we'd like). Any impact player anticipated to start would be very...

Agree completely. If the athlete completes the undergrad college coursework (usually a minimum of 120 passing hours) and wants to transfer to another school to play and take courses, they should be able to. That was their deal when they accepted the schollie at 17/18 years old. At 21/22/23...

http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/81429/john-swofford-acc-not-planning-3-divisions-if-deregulation-passes Says voting for de-regulation was based on principal, and not a desire to change in the near future. Looks like our Florida State/ Clemson annual games won't end any time soon (I...

Like the saying goes "life's a journey, not a race..." That red shirt year looks to be perfect for the long plan. It's been really neat getting that parent perspective. Wishing him the best, and hoping you stay involved on the board.
