I'd be all in for Butch! Proven head coach, proven recruiter, and knows the ACC. That would show commitment to the program!

I mentioned Davis in another thread. He was not named by the NCAA. The Martin report also clears him 100%, emphasizing that the issue was academic fraud, not athletics cheating (it was a rogue department with a rogue chairman).
Butch wants 1 more job. He knows Syracuse from his time at Miami. He knows the ACC. He can oversee great recruiting. He can assemble a good staff.

"If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" lol... Either Butch or Tressel will do for me. We need to make a statement that we want to go big time and not that we are just a basketball school. I hope that if Marone left because of facilities, that those get upgraded in the future to put us on equal footing with peers. Heck, Syracuse has so many new academic buildings that the undergrad facilities rival any college in this country. Bonds are cheap, I say we finance it, and we can pay it back with a constantly sold out dome.

Awful idea. Can't think of a worse fit for SU. No way he can recruit here like he used to down south. The suggestion is almost as dumb as someone who mentioned Wannsteadt.
As I said on the other thread if you want a jilted ACC coach go with Jagodzinski his BC teams were a lot better than anything Davis put out at UNC despite the recruits.

Correct, I just feel like butch needs his own thread... Good point pointing that out, which I knew to be the case also... It's a UNC problem and not a Butch problem.

Must have someone with northeastern ties and NY connections. We can't rebuild those bridges again

Jags did not recruit those players, and he looked to cash in on the NFL as soon as he could.
Davis can assemble a good staff anywhere. Davis can oversee good recruiting anywhere. Syracuse could use a few more players from the South, especially FL, and Davis can deliver that.
Syracuse does not have a Fort Knox of its own to pay a coach, and Davis can be had rather cheaply because time is against him: he needs a Major conference job ASAP before he gets too old.
That's what assistants are for.

Well if fans that want exciting football they need not want Tressel because it doesn't get any more boring then his style of play. It's one thing when you have OSU's resources and car dealers it's another when you have a school rubbing their pennies and hoping they can create lightning.
