I can't wait until the commitments start dropping...

What happened to school spirit and loyalty ?

Fran also said..."I'm not leaving." I came from poverty and insinuated that he makes enough money here to never have to leave. He said he plans on coaching 10 years and then getting out to be with his daughter. I know that's a lot of coach talk but for some reason...I believe him. He is a guy that says what he believes. That's how he's built and that's his reputation. I know we aren't used to that in CNY.

I think a huge selling point for some of these big time recruits is instant playing time. Going to an SEC/B10 school, they may have to fight for a spot in the two (or three!) deep. Easier path to play a lot at Cuse.

In 2 years there's going to be a 60 Minutes profile on Fran Brown and the the reSUrgent Orangemen.
Much like me, this post will age well (I hope).

 

[orangeinjersey]

You think Fran has watched "The Express"

Someone cue up Jeremy Shapp vid saying "They ain't making movies about Rutgers and UConn"

Wonder if a gray scholarship player is eligible for NIL $. This question assumes there are NIL rules.

There are no NIL rules. If you want to pay the third chair tuba player for his name, image, and likeness you can.

Ok, we've heard from Paul and Cami, but I'm still awaiting word from Jill, Dante and Tito.

Definitely need 2 QB’s and an OT or 2

Don't disagree that we need help on the OLine, but getting Wohlabaugh, Ellis (?) and potentially Joe More back combined with how the line played in the power offense in November doesn't make things look quite so dire.

well prepare to be crushed when he leaves. Look at it this way, if he build us into something to put us back on map then enjoy the ride and take what you get. He'll leave when he gets a better offer for a bigger job don't get duped.

It’s college football. Nobody stays. If they’re successful, they leave. If they’re unsuccessful, they’re shown the door. It’s just the way things are. Shouldn’t keep anyone from wanting a successful coach. To want the opposite is just crazy.

Especially considering when he does leave the talent infusion will have been massive, even if we lose a bunch to transfer portal, we will in theory be in a better place than before.

This weekend's visitor list is something we have not seen in probably 30 years

If those guys played 12 vs all being down by the end of game 2, couple more wins?

I think they need someone to push Enrique Cruz. I know he's a board favorite but his stats weren't very good. I know he's talented so maybe a little competition elevates his game.

If all goes well, and FB leaves unexpectedly after 3, I hope the Administration follows the Coach Mac to Coach P formula. Somebody on that staff should be the one to step up to the job.

If we do land these top DLs, I hope we can move to a 4-3 defense. Looks like we will have the bodies up front for it.

4-2-5 most likely is where we land

If we land these SEC sized DL's then yeah I think a 4-3 would be really possible. Especially with targeting the lock down corner types too.

Long as we can stop the run on first and second downs with sheer brute force, I’m happy.

Agree. I want success. If we get it on his back and his formula which results in his opportunity to get other offers from nfl or bigger programs. So be it.

How about Germaine Pasqualoni?

 

[qdawgg]

It’s funny the other day I made a comment that he could leave in a few years, just reality it is possible. But got blasted for stating what’s obvious in CFB coaching and how transient it is. I guess what a difference a few days makes.

100% he will. They all do. Have a good buddy who is Tulane alumni. Last year Fritz said he wants retire from Tulane in 2030. 11 months later he’s the head coach at Houston and he’s 63 years old. Like you said just enjoy the ride
