You really think that Coach P's firing was all about the Georgia Tech bowl game and that other factors were not taken into consideration? Wow, that's crazy.

Pasqualoni had a very good coaching tenure at Syracuse, one to be very proud of. He inherited a program on the rise, a program that was as talented as it had ever been sans the late-50's - early-60's. Did a great job maximizing results his first two years. And he did a solid job for prolonging that momentum for as long as he could. But eventually he couldn't, and therefore it was time to go. The bowl game in 2004 was the final straw...not the only straw.

The bottom line - Pasqualoni is a good football coach, but not nearly the untouchable Paterno-like legend you perceive him to be.

One thing I do agree with you re: Pasqualoni is that Pasqualoni's press conferences differed from Reid's and Marrone's. Unlike Reid and Marrone, Coach P never took blame after losses. It was always about lack of execution from the players and "hindsight is 20-20."
