Bryan Blair: New Syracuse AD

[bnoro]

Heard we interviewed the Toledo AD. Not sure how true that is, but wouldn't be mad at that one.

Although if South Carolina came calling in a few years he'd probably be gone.

Who knew that Stryper crossed over into wrestling back in the day? That’s wild stuff

What a wonderful deep cut. Made my day.

I was told earlier today it was Blair but I didn't believe it.

 

[Sdot]

Don’t know how to feel about this as people alluded to if South Carolina calls at anytime he’s out of here. I would of liked carparelli but will root for Blair!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A great hire for the now. Can't worry about what happens in the future. Think the actual Athletic Director experience makes me feel better about the hire than Brandon/Carparelli would.

It's never a sure thing...

Why? His bio on the Toledo site makes him sound like a forward thinking candidate.

Toledo football was strong while he was AD.

He’s a solid hire, can’t complain considering his experience, logical

I’m with ya on this.

Very good hire IMO

Probably the strongest endorsement you can get from a board contributor.

 

[SUFan44]

Meh. Syracuse needs to think outside the box.

This is a very in-the-box choice.

We’ll see. Toledo has not had a losing football season since 2010. It’s positioned well to win in the MAC no matter who the AD.

Men’s basketball has been on a downward trend since his hire. All the other stuff I couldn’t are less about.

or possibly if any SEC or B1G school calls.

The NIL vision and execution at Toledo is exactly what we need.

Agreed. Likely any AD we would have chosen would leave for South Carolina (SEC) AD job. Least we forget we had a AD leave us for Minnesota.

Director of Bowl Season does sound like the cushiest exec job ever. Can't imagine his calendar is very full Feb - September.

Here’s the challenge Mr Blair.

YEEEEEESH

 

[CuseFan]

Here’s the challenge Mr Blair.

Given that my wife and kids went to Michigan and I am Syracuse through and through, I am not going to show them this chart...

Wise choice.
