Duane Kinnon posted that on Facebook. I guess the algorithm made it show up on my news feed

The real news here is that you follow Zach Mahoney and I love it.

Keith Downing, Duke Pettijohn… Moe Jackson… brings me back.

I wish we could get Pettijohn’s son. He a highly ranked kid. We’re not even on his list.

Agree. Maybe he was listening with his dad.

I just thought of something Fran mentioned at the NYS coaching clinic. When he was discussing alumni he wants to be accessible to them. He wants to listen to their thoughts and ideas but its a two way street. Don't just complain about things when you dont play a part in the solution. That's not an exact quote but it was something in that manner.

This guy is SU football alum Oliver Vigille.

He is the LB coach at talent laden St Thomas Aquinas HS in Fort Lauderdale.

With all the injuries to QBs, if you look at his career stats, he played the equivalent of one full year as a starting QB. He made something like 12 or 13 starts during his career. He's in the SYR record book a lot, mostly for single game stuff in the 61-76 game vs. Pitt. Not bad for a guy who walked on from I think a D2 school. He was fearless, I remember him running the ball in the RPO and taking massive hits in that game vs. LSU in the Dome when we were in position to pull the upset pretty late in the 4th quarter.

Also an excellent bartender.

That was my first thought when I saw Duke on that screenshot. Maybe there is no chance, but it's not the worst thing in the world he was at least on the call. If anyone can get us involved, Fran can.

I’m glad this event was a success

Pulling in alumni support has been something was desperately needed from football for YEARS not just under Dino but others as well

Glad that Fran is taking this approach. Everyday he gives the fans one more reason to be hopeful about what is to come

There were a lot of players from the Coach P era on the call.

I think the way things ended with Coach P turned off a lot of players who played under him. Feelings were hurt and bridges were burned.

Coach Brown has begun the healing process. His opening speech set the tone for a new era.

Good for him.

Awesome interviews. Just shocking that Dino did not embrace the former players.

Awesome interviews. Just shocking that Dino did not embrace the former players.

Yet in a recent interview with Arizona, he talked about how alumni is so important and that this is their team. I call bs that those are his true thoughts, but now that he’s regulated to being a coordinator has to say them.

I don't recall a single coach in the last 20 plus years who had this sort of outreach. Let's not just say it was a Dino thing because it wasn't.

It's amazing he talks to the press after he wouldn't allow his assistants to talk for 8 years.
