For sure, that’s why I said “figuratively”. I’d never suggest we leave the ACC. I’m suggesting that if we want to play poor, then go all out. Stop investing entirely. And stop complaining about NIL and all that. Cash the checks, hire on the cheap, and embrace losing.
I went to a yacht rock concert last night. It was 1000% the better choice to make.
You two are hysterical. Concocting some bizarro political narrative to get mad about that literally hasn’t been mentioned by anyone, anywhere.
I don't know if I am one of the two. I just think it's a bad idea for a white guy to fire a black guy while he's still bowl eligible at middling Syracuse and who has represented the school like an adult and I think it would be a story.
What?
He’s got a record of 44-24 at A&M.
I think that is utterly crazy, so many factors however that is definitely not one of them.
every single one of the clowns on here who think this is ridiculous would wait until they're eliminated from a bowl if they were wildhack
Yup
The guy has been here 8 years and has made a boat load of $$. He could have easily been fired after ‘21. It’s a results driven business. FSU gave Willie Taggart 2 seasons, Kansas gave Turner Gill 2 seasons. Herm Edward’s was fired and he had a 26-20 record with 3 bowls in 5 years. Charlie Strong was fired from USF with a 21-16 record and 2 bowl appearances in 3 seasons.
No problem with firing him when they're not bowl eligible.
Yeah. The problem that can cause is setting back the next coach and the possibility of not getting who you want. There are going to be many attractive programs needing a HC. On top of all this, the program is stale and is regressing.
They'd put up a statue outside of the Dome with a record like that!
And over that 14k years Syracuse would not even pay the 135m that Texas A&M is paying over 10 years.
I admit i had no idea what Millhouse was referring to. I thought it was something else
The problem is those schools looking for new coaches won’t be looking in the same places as SU. Wildhack is not looking to hire a big time coach. Schools that are serious are.
Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of truth in this post. I have little faith anymore until the Administration proves me wrong. As a Clemson fan told me this year, “you are a Basketball school“. Enough said about how the rest of the world and ACC sees the commitment to Football here at ‘Cuse.
So become Northwestern?
He wouldn’t be making 10M a year
Why not. Milk the ACC for all it's worth until it's dead in 2036
That's a big reason why FSU wanted more $$$ - coaches' salaries. They let him go because he wanted more than he was worth. He seemed to be all about $$$ and wasn't doing that well with all their recruits. I have read the athletic dept. was happy to see him go as he was arrogant and they had that scandal with Winston too, gave him the benefit of the doubt, and let him play after some internal review headed up by some outside legal guy of some reknown. Then they brought in Taggart from Oregon no less and fired him during the first year - not a good look as an AFAM guy is getting canned by a bunch of white dudes as somebody here mentioned. (I would give Dino until the close of the season for that and other reasons.) We had a black AD at one time - he might have been there when the deed was done. Taggart went to Florida Atlantic for two years and they terminated his contract too. I read that he is now the running backs coach for the NFL Ravens - he started with Harbaugh at Stanford in the same position. What do I really think about coaches' salaries? It's ridiculous. They can make their career with one good player at a key position like QB and the schools get shaken down. This is one of the reasons that all these schools are chasing TV $$$ to augment gate receipts and donations.
