The alumni group is going to have to come to grips with it. If they don't, then quite frankly -  them.

Love Syracuse football and love every single guy that has put their blood, sweat and tears out for my alma mater, but change was needed. And not just superficial change.

Not saying I know anything about what Hicks' philosophy is/was, what works and what doesn't - but from a strictly business standpoint, you don't keep people around just to make alums happy. And if you want a program that is going to win, you need to make sure everyone in place is on board with all philosophies that are about to be implemented.

Whether or not Hicks would or would not have bought in are irrelevant - if the head coach knows he has a guy he can trust in that role, he needs to bring him in. Bottom line.

Sorry for the rant but this gets way too much play on this board, and I think it's a pretty clear cut thing. A strength and conditioning coach may not be as important as an offensive or defensive coordinator, but it's close. I don't think I'm exaggerating, and I don't think anyone in their right mind would advocate for a new head coach to keep a coordinator just because a lot of people felt he should.
