Thamel gives some names

[djcon57]

Bronco Mendenhall please

Or Cignetti

Or Coen

Or Austin

Some great names in this list, which is why you fire now, as opposed to later.

Always respect your opinion so give me a reason why Austin could work.

with the current environment, feels like you need a coach who understands the ins and outs the college game. I have no doubt he can coach, but he’s been in pro game for so long, afraid he would take the job and have to deal with the bs for a year and check out

 

[Ozone!]

It’s not about the age of the Coach but competency in coaching and recruiting !

 

[djcon57]

the only thing I know about Coen was that he was a dumpster for the Rams

Yeah, maybe. I like the other guys more.

I want an offensive minded guy.

I might be blinded by the NFL experience, Ala Greggers. So, maybe not the best choice.

Just excited for a change.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Marrone ain’t walking through that door.

Very unlikely but it's not as farfetched as it seems at. first glance

 

[OrangeFreek]

Get a "name" coach?

Like whom?

Jimbo Fisher?

Lincoln Riley?

Which name coach do you have in mind?

Dan mullen
Ed O
Jimbo fisher might wanna come back to the ACC (highly unlikely)
Gus Malzahn
Proven winners

 

[dasher]

I think the guy is on his list as well.

For sure….I’m not even opposed to defensive coach as long as they bring in an good OC

Gus Malzahn is currently 5-6 at ucf

 

[PAcuse]

Chadwell and Lewis are my top choices (not that my vote counts)

IF it has to be Tony White we have to UNLOAD the bank on a TOP OC or he will fail hard

 

[JKinPhilly]

I just want someone whose dream job it is to come here, lock the doors to the Dome, take on ISIS and play 3D chess. Is that too much to ask?

 

[OrangeFreek]

Gus Malzahn is currently 5-6 at ucf

His record is 99 and 52 He is a winner

 

[im4cuse]

Yeah, and more than half his team is a stone's throw from JMU. This is a way different gig.

Uh no. Keen use of portal. I live here. These kids aren’t local. We have a better gig. Better league. Unique home environment We r the only game in town. perfect weather for 7 games. light up the dome make them defend the whole field.

 

[OCESIP]

You have to match the program with a coach who can succeed within the limits of that program. SU's identity is a smallish private school, located in a not so attractive NE location, playing in a league that is not a major football power, with a fan base that has been challenged over the years to keep its interest level up. Success is all in the eyes of the beholder, but in my mind a .600 record with a minor bowl is a good result. A coach that can do that year in and year out is getting the job done. I don't expect miracles at this point.

 

[Frozen]

Why would a head coach leave a Big 12 program to come to Syracuse?

 

[upperdeck]

If we can get Curt, I’m all in. Disappointed to see no Dan Mullen but eh. Bronco would be interesting.

Mullen has said he likes tv better than coaching right now

 

[tep624]

I actually think Marrone could be more successful in this environment because it’s more pro like than it’s ever been.

 

[money3189]

My first thought is go all in for Cig

 

[SmilinBob]

Mullen has said he likes tv better than coaching right now

So maybe will allow him to work from home? So many companies are doing it that way now.

 

[Jack_Ball]

Out of list floated

1. Bronco - He resigned from UVA & was not fired
2. Curt
3. Marrone
4. Tony White
5. Sean Lewis
6. Jason Crandle

 

[tep624]

Fairly confident he’d do a better job on the sidelines than Dino even working remote. It was pretty amazing how much Dino struggled with consistent logical decision making over his tenure.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Marrone came to mind when they named Nunzio as the interim. Lally probably likes Doug and Wildhack likes hiring alumni, it could be baloney time again.

You’re Bologna time again.

 

[All4SU]

Matt Patricia, anyone?

 

[PhatOrange]

Why would a head coach leave a Big 12 program to come to Syracuse?

one reason could be to stay in the southeast / ACC footprint. Familiarity.

Maybe Thamel is just throwing darts at the board, who knows.

But him putting Marrone on the list and keeping Mullen off, tells me that he probably knows Marrone has kept the door somewhat open, and Mullen has closed it to stick with his TV gig.
