Coyle leaving for Minnesota AD job

[bevosu]

What an amateur move.

Always felt the guy had an anal retentive personality and was a bit of a facade.

Snap analysis ...no charge.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Is Hopkins still the coach in waiting?

I don't see why not.

 

[skurey]

I'm going to miss Coyne a lot.

So apparently no issues with football, it seems.

 

[CusefanATL]

OH MY GAWD. Coyle is a joke.

 

[OrangePA]

That would make him the Chris McCullough of ADs.

That is if McCullough had left SU for the CBA.

 

[OrangePA]

Goodbye.

Didn't want to be here - shouldn't have taken the job.

My god, there are some dumb comments about Mark here. I can't imagine how some of you reacted to breaking up with a girlfriend in high school.

My girlfriend wasn't in charge of Syracuse football

Yeah, let's give him a round of applause for his tremendous 11-month tenure.

 

[OrangePA]

Huh. Guess we'll remember him like we remember Chris McCullough.

Without the benefit of advance notice, I hope SU just sticks an interim tag on one of his deputies and lets him or her try out the job for a year. Might save a little money and the athletic department isn't likely to be seeing any dramatic changes in the next year.

Pete Sala.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Absolutely classless move by Coyle and I don't give a hoot about his perceived issues, personal or otherwise. The University isn't innocent in this either. Pretty obvious the guy wasn't vetted properly.

God I love Babers

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

A friend on the hill said it is many issues, but one was that he was intent on hiring some of his former colleagues in brand new high level positions, and Syverud said 'no'. Coyle was upset with that answer, and was looking for a situation that would work since that time.

I'm passing along second hand info, so take it for what it's worth. It does fit the narrative that the chancellor wanted to make the athletic department (along with other departments on campus) a bit more trim.

 

[Ish88888]

Wow, He didn't even inform Dino, his biggest hire. A NO CLASS ASS!

You do realize - the person bashing Coyle the most is a players parent, right? Not an uneducated fan - someone who has dealt with Coyle.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Strike his name from every book and tablet...

unless the Babers hire works out.

And someone who was very upset that Shafer was fired. Could that be where the animus comes from?

The worst part is, I do think this is a homerun hire. And, it will ultimately be Coyle's legacy.

 

[OttoMets]

Pete Sala.

If I'm making the hire, I'd want someone with broader athletics experience, ideally some experience at other institutions.

Maybe Pete could do the job, but he'd have a learn a ton on the fly, there's so much more to it than logistics and managing a budget.

Absolutely.

True. Classless.

National search.

Ha.

 

[AZOrange]

F it. Just have JB do it.
