Wildhack rolls the dice!

[Cusefan69]

Some hedging bets in here in case things don't work out it seems like. I like the hire. JW from what Jake mentioned had to deal with a huge case of rich donor crazy behind the scenes. Grabbed a rising talent off the best program in the country and he is not only a top recruiter but you could say owns NJ. His impact is already being felt on the recruiting side. JW I am sure grilled Brown on staff, contacts, philosophy on offense and defense. Honestly what is not to like that can't be addressed with a staff hire. I am good to go.

Who is managing the team and players now? Portal opens Monday. Are the current assistants interviewing players for Fran? Wildhack? Herm? Seems kind of crucial.

The more i look into Chesney im not sure if he would be a good fit for Syracuse. He has been at Catholic schools a good portion of his

I can see Chesney at BC

I have no idea if this will work out or not so I will shut up and support the decision, but I do know that of the three "finalists", Brown is the riskiest.
Jason Candle and Bob Chesney both had years of successful HC experience.

Advantages

• Likely to get some buzz if only because Brown is a Georgia guy.
• Smart will give him a good send-off.
• He does have some extensive recruiting experience in the NE
• He has seen the best program in the country up close.
• Georgia is disciplined
• He must have had one helluva interview so he can sell himself.
• The kids will probably love him and be impressed with his Georgia cred.

Risks

• His recruiting at Georgia doesn't impress much as most could recruit for Georgia.
• His recruiting at Rutgers does not seem to be anything special.
• A position coach has the biggest jump to HC
• Rivals will negatively recruit against us for his inexperience
• He might have a tough time putting a good staff together.
• No bump in ticket sales.
• Criticism from the press.

Wildhack has swung for the fences. He will either be hailed as a genius or a turkey. We all need to hope he connects!
I am all in because - well, why not!

29 hours later... has the press criticized this?

Honestly, I have seen so little critcism its kind of shocking. I think all agree its a calculated risk.

But, the Jimmy Sexton thing gets me. He has 11/14 SEC Head coaches as clients. All but 2 of his clients are Head Coaches. I want to say 1 was Jeff Lebby who was OC. The other... was Fran Brown. The only client of his that is a positional coach. And had only 1 who was a coordinator but is also already a HC. The industry knew Brown was the real deal.

Still a calculated risk... but I am all in for it now.

And the wears hats with the best of them. I can't wait to see what he goes with at the PC. Does he go conservative with a Blue hat? Does he go a little wild with an Orange hat? does he shock us with gray or white or heck camo? Sticker on or off? He has SERIOUS hat swag.

• 5 wins in 2021

Well well well. He went white. Pretty shocking as I said. Adds even more intrigue to what he rocks tomorrow. Did not know that was possible!
