Brian Ward Fired

[McNabb2Brominski]

Fire the Tampa-2 too!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Any impact on present commits?

After you've fired both coordinators, it's a little late to worry about recruiting.

we rarely play that

We fired lynch??

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We fired lynch??

You just demanded that Lynch should be the next to go, did you not?

 

[JRHEETER]

Like this move, gives me confidence that dino is willing to do what’s needed to win

 

[Alsacs]

Wish Ward the best but a statement had to made.
The players weren't responding to his system. The fact BC was running the same plays and we didn't adjust was poor coaching.

 

[Millhouse]

Ward, Taggart, do these things happen in 3s?

Mind blown midseason.

Lots of things happen in 3's but enough about your love life

 

[Chris02M]

Cannot believe it was Ward and not lynch

i dont think lynch is getting bounced it is clear the ol has hurt the offense and more likely OL coach is asked not to not return at end of season

I always wonder how these conversations go. I’m serious. How do you think Dino has the discussion? Obviously every job has to do it sometimes but especially curious about football (I’ve never managed others so never been in the situation).

Most college players need a simple attack/downhill system. I don't T2 is good for college players even if Dino likes the way it plays off his offense.

In general I expect a lot of tweaks to everything.

It’s more straight forward than you think. It’s not dramatic. “Brian, I appreciate all you’ve put into this job and I love you but based on results I need to go in a different direction”

"Not great, Brian."

Then there's the Mark Coyle method...

Was Ward our best recruiter?

Any chance Dino brings in Kendall Briles as a co-offensive coordinator now that Taggart has been fired by FSU?

ASk for private meeting. You know, he knows. Thank You, wish things could have turned out better. I believe in you, best of luck going forward, you'll have other opportunities, if there's anything I can do, i'll make sure to put in a good word...

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I did not think Ward was the biggest of our problems but he hasn’t helped much either.

 

[Alsacs]

It's Nick Monroe absolutely no doubt about that,

Let's get Phil Montgomery to come in as QB Coach/OC

Syracuse defensive coordinator Brian Ward has been fired

Defensive ends coach Steve Stanard will serve as interim defensive coordinator for the remainder of the season.

Has Dino ever fired a coach? A coordinator?

 

[FloridaFan]

Let's get Phil Montgomery to come in as QB Coach/OC

We are talking about a new DC. Let’s get that first

 

[CuseMan4]

One thing I did like about Shafer was when he was the DC here. His defenses were killer. If we could get a coach that can run a system like that...players love playing in systems like that as well. Blitzes galore, QB is consistently on his ass, top run defenses in the country year in and year out. We would just need DBs to improve. I’m all for an aggressive, attacking defense rather than what we run now.
