Dan Mullen

You may well be right but I think it would be a mistake to not interview Bob Chesney. He has earned an interview, and probably Cignetti also.

The HUGE problem with Chesney for any P5/3 job is that his entire life and football playing and coaching career is about the northeast. That would not have been any problem if Syracuse were hiring in 1960, and only a small problem in 1990. Today, it is huge. The northeast simply cares very little for Major conference football, and the region producues very little talent. So the odds are huge that Syracuse will have a better shot with a new HC who has deep ties to the South or midwest, and that the coach can get a staff with a good deal of ACC experience and perhaps some experience with BT and/or SEC as well. If not that, definitely esopereince coaching and recruiting in the South and midwest (say, AAC, Sunbelt, MAC).

Maybe he wouldn’t but he lived in Queens and his mom is still in NYC, which was a big factor in him coming here in the first place. So out of any of the coaches mentioned, he at least has some connection with the state other than having coached here, where as most of the names thrown around don’t.

White as head coach. Swag daddy comes back as DC

I dont agree. I want an east coast background in our next coach. He can add assistants that can cover the south. We need to lean heavily on NJ PA NY and fill the rest down the coast and through the portal.

You’ve been on here a long time. There’s very few people who know anything. You should know by now that especially when posters are throwing out things as absolutes, they don’t know anything. The posters who know are more coy with how they phrase things.

Alright dad.

I’m with you. Chesney is cute and a feel good story but he’s not the answer.

Along with the usual names. And some ridiculous names like Chadwell and Fritz.

Syracuse coaching candidates: Dan Mullen, Doug Marrone, Sean Lewis among options to replace Dino Babers

I really wish they weren’t ridiculous names…

Ahhhhhh...the post-firing honeymoon phase when any reporter can throw in any coaches name and maybe not wrong.

The ads in that CBS article are exhausting, can hardly get to the names.

Feldman has his list in The Athletic. Pretty much the same set of names. Mentions Wisconsin OC Phil Longoand FSU DC Adam Fuller, not sure if I heard those two yet. Brings up Stoutland and Lou Anarumo has hail mary shots.

That kind of salty ass writing is why coaches hate the media

Serving ads is the entire point of most of these HC articles where writers recycle and add new names as they please

 

[oldpinepoint]

Speaking of ads, the ads at the bottom of Syracusefan are horrible now. I would pay to have a premium board and no ads

This is the best way to go, $30 a year to support the site and you're not bombarded with ads.

Thanks I didn’t even know about it, I’ll do that!

I wonder if ESPN connections allowed for some back channel discussions.

 

[SmilinBob]

This seems like Mullen is interested...school X fires their coach and offers Dan a boatload of money that will be out of SU's means and signs with that school.

 

[WoadBlue]

That would be great for Syracuse and ACC football.

 

[phil77]

This would be amazing if true. Hard time believing it but would be absolutely a slam dunk
