Fran Era Officially Begins

[AngryOtto]

Today is the first day of strength and conditioning. Very excited for the Fran Brown era to begin.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

So, none of that "recruiting" and "portaling" really happened?

I thought it was too good to be true.

 

[All4SU]

How much actual contact are the coaches allowed to have with players during this S&C period?

Yes, but this is where the coaching plan with the players begins. Recruiting has been great but a new plan for the players and program is starting which is exciting.

I understand there’s a team meeting a noon today and the winter strength and conditioning does not begin until tomorrow (also the first day of the spring semester).

This is what's been stated before, team meeting today weight room work tomorrow.

I'm hoping that cuse fans will allow Fran to find his way with this team. Obviously he's incredible getting talent, but calling plays might take more time. We may not be playing for a national championship quite as quickly as some here think.

Just to still be in the conversation at the midpoint of the season would be fantastic for me.
We will need at least a few years to build depth before we can be in a possible Championship conversation.

Very good, those are the expectations I'm looking for. We can give Fran 5 years to compete for national championships.

Fran, thanks for all you do for Cuse Football!

Don't look at me...I said we'd win it all by '25...

 

[AngryOtto]

I would be happy to be competitive in every game and stop multiple game losing streaks.

 

[CA Monk]

No November swoon. Be strong at the end. No more going into games, knowing we’re going to lose.

[djorange1989]

We have only won as many as 8 regular season games one time in the last 22 years so I will take 8-4 next year. Yes I know the schedule is soft on paper but plenty of places we can trip up. Incredibly excited for the season

 

[Cusefan69]

So do we have confirmation that the transfers have enrolled and the early enrollees made it to campus? I have seen Haile and Brown made it. Did Meeks and was it Haynes from Georgia enroll? Diggs hopefully. There was talk Barnes also was an early enrollee.

 

[BANYC]

Any new or surprise transfer enrollees?

 

[cusefan88]

Any new or surprise transfer enrollees?

We'll see when the roster is updated. Either in a few days/weeks with school starting or we may have to wait until spring ball.

For a second I thought I was on the basketball board.

It’s same standard for Dino for Paul for Fran

Win often. This is Syracuse football. Need to start acting like it again. Fran has taken the expectations back to 1992. Paul won 10 year 1.

Nah, the standard is quite different. Based on what Fran has done thus far, isn't even close to anything Dino accomplished on the recruiting trail. Apples Oranges. We have a collection of talent that we haven't seen for a while. Expectations should be higher.

I’ve been saying the same thing as there will be some growth pains just like we had with Kayla in the women’s LAX the first year. Ultimately, this will work out great!!

I think he was going back a bit further when discussing "standard". Might be wrong,

Fran spent the last 5 weeks putting the dang world on notice

He does have a certain "I'll sleep when I'm dead" air about him.
