Message: [QUOTE="OrgTruckPat, post: 4868971, member: 9375"] All the talk about declining a bowl is silly. While the arguments to do so on here have some very valid points and are not altogether wrong, no way SU turns down a bowl. A program starving for bowl appearances for 2 decades, a national tv slot (even pre x mas), exposure, 15 more practices for HCFB to evaluate players that might stick around, a few days of royalty for the players. Would SU rather have Fran start off next year coming off a bowl or no bowl? Why wouldn't they want that feather in the cap? Having said that, no way Fran should be coaching any of it. He can evaluate and offer up stuff, but that's it. He needs and deserves a clean 0-0 slate next sept. The current staff are being compensated as paid employees of the program until otherwise notified. If they need to look for new zip codes, they'll have plenty of time to find one that suits them come Jan. [/QUOTE]
