For all of Daryl's shortcomings, he did alot of positive as well. When looking back, I won't remember him with a sour taste in my mouth at all. I'll remember him for attempting to embolden Syracuse Athletics, both successfully and unsuccessfully.
I don't think he was a fiscally responsible individual or very detail oriented when it came to rules and regulations, but, he tried to be a forward thinker. Tried to rebrand SU to increase revenue and secure our future in P5 sports, tried to properly acknowledge past great members of SU Athletics.
I think he's better suited for PR and Advertising than management. As long as those titles come with spell check.
Excited for what t his opportunity may bring.
And, again, I really like Syverud. No nonsense.
