2025 End Of Season Coaching Changes

It certainly seems that Fran learned that lesson. He also knows now what type of coach can better relate to the players on the line. Dale and the OL did not get along. I sit near where they are on the sideline and it got worse as the year went on.
I believe he told Enrique Cruz to move along last year. We could have used him this year. Doing well at Kansas
 
I want Fran to go pay for the best OL and DL coach. Overpay if they must but we need some real help. We also need a coach that can actually teach tackling. Finally we absolutely need a new DC. I hope Fran does not risk his coaching future for a friend. I know it’s hard but the reason you do not hire friends and family. Dino even had to fire his daughter’s father-in-law but made the hard call.

Me too and it was pretty noticeable when he was talking to them didn’t really seem like a players coach at all and wasn’t from what players have openly said to me.
 
Syracuse football assistant coaches Ricky Brumfield, Joe Schaefer, Dale Williams and Robert Wright will not be retained for the 2026 season, head coach Fran Brown announced on Monday.

"I want to thank Ricky, Joe, Dale and Robert for their dedication to Syracuse University, our program and players," said head coach Fran Brown. "I wish them nothing but the best moving forward."

Additionally, Elijah Robinson will transition to a new role as Co-Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach.

Co-DC, WTH. Should just be DL coach and sometimes think that's a stretch.
 
If anyone owes us a refund from last year it's Fran.
Not saying coaching decision were the best but he is getting paid right now for recruiting. If Fran left it would be like PennSt with all the players following Franklin to VT. These players are coming because of Fran not because SU was their dream school. We need better coaching but without talent you can never win.
These players are not coming for the assistant coaches. Assistant coaches are here to develop players and coach. They failed this year and some the last two years. Changes are being made and hopefully will continue.

Good move and encouraging that Robinson seems to have accepted the demotion. There is benefits to having Elijah Robinson involved in the program that does not include defensive scheming and play calling.

It could be a big deal if the new hire changes the scheme. Makes next year a bit more iffy.

So... do we maybe have Dr Blitz do the DC playcalling?

And then have ERob focus on the crootin' part of the equation?

That would allow both to focus on what they're best at.

If it were going to be a shuffle I think they'd just announce both. Looks to me like outside hire pending for 'the real' DC.
