Zach Arnett new Syracuse DC...or not.

[PhatOrange]

Dino needs to own this. Not good. My two cents is he is too much of a control freak.

Or Wildhack needs to own it cause Dino’s not writing the check.

 

[orangenauburn]

Yeah but who was that kid a couple years ago who was an o-line recruit who flipped last minute? I'm about 2% sure it was Mississippi state

All their OL are from MS or Bama, except a four star from FL

 

[UnknownOrange]

My point is perhaps he’s been comfortable with a commitment most of the time.

Regardless, it doesn’t really matter. He wasn’t sold on SU.

It matters. Don't make announcements without pen to paper

 

[DPCuse]

Cue up the Rocky Long talk in 3, 2, 1...

 

[cuseguy]

It’s not a matter of finding a DC now. It’s trying to find a DC who runs the 3-3-5. I firmly believe Dino thinks that’s the right defense for SU.

 

[Toga]

Didn't we lose some hotshot recruiter position coach to Maryland in the same manner?

 

[cuseguy]

Oh, no question. If it turns out there wasn’t a contract, it was sloppy.

 

[Trueblue25]

Still to not have a signed contract so we can at least get the buyout money is a terrible look. That is Rutgers or Uconn level incompetence. Not a great look for the AD's office at all.

Not to mention I’m sure we likely halted our search in the meantime. Announcing this publicly before signing is incompetence imo and I love our AD

 

[OrangeAl]

What a joke. When will su pay its staff market value.

When you start donating a million a year?

Does this really happen at other schools? Like
honestly? So apparently MSU was looking into Navy’s DC Newberry and he said nope staying at Navy. So then they go after Arnett. You can not make this BS up. Only here I feel like.

[upperdeck]

it happens all over, it happens in the pros too

 

[kcsu]

doesn't matter if he signed a contract or not. if msu wanted him, they were going to get him, buy out or not. a snap of the fingers and an additional $500k would appear.

It does matter as it shows that Dino has much to learn. Im shocked that JW allowed the announcement of his hiring without an executed contract. Actually blown away. JW of all ADs understands contracts. This is a total Cluster on Dinos and JW part. Inexcusable.

 

[hoopsupstate]

The SEC makes about $25 million more in TV money so an extra $3-400,000 is nothing to them.

 

[TheCusian]

This isn't volunteer work. Our job was to secure him. We didn't do that.

Again, we do not have the luxury to miss on these types of things. We don't have a clamoring of top level talent fighting to be the DC here. We don't have seemingly infinite financial resources and prestige to just take a hit like this and keep on ticking.

At some point we need to do better. We are 20 years past when SU used to be expected in a bowl game.

It’s both parties fault.

You put it all on us. He released a statement about coming here. It’s ok to be po’d at both.

Dino vetted the guy. Dino made the call.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[All4SU]

I think Dino is right. We never should have announced that we found a good new coordinator! Now people are following our new hires just to take them away.

 

[orange_in_VA]

Wow. Lol. Life of a Cuse football fan...

Don't know what's true or not, but NEVER announce anything until the ink has hit the paper.

That's business 101.

silly. Fans are mad because he was a good hire

I think less of him now, but still by all accounts a good coach

perhaps Dino should have attached a car battery to the guy's nut sack and tortured the truth out of him before hiring him
