Dan Mullen

[Cusefan78]

I feel very sad for the younger fans of the program who have not yet learned how to temper hope with SU's version of reality...let this be a lesson for you, grassyhoppers!

There are no Young fans of su football. We haven’t been relevant since p left. Program is done.

 

[Cusefan78]

We better close Chesney if he us our choice now that Duke is in the market.
Mendenhall is the only guy who has coached at this level.
I am all in on Chesney.

1. Chesney
2. Curt Cignetti
3. Jason Candle
4. Liam Coen
5. Bronco Mendenhall
6. Charles Huff
7. Chuck Martin's

No one has sold me on why him. He’s coaching holy cross who didn’t even get into the playoffs.how can you be certain this guy can walk into a p5 program and do what’s needed to advance us. Not one person on that list is exciting and sells a single ticket. This is just another cheap money saving hire at cash check u

Nothing relative for me to say. Just want to be part of this historic thread. Great read.

If they want an empty dome for the home opener like they had for the Wake Forest game, they should hire Kenny Chesney or whatever.

Time will tell. Guy is a winner.

Winning sells tickets.

RIP SUHCDFM: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Winning sells tickets.

Dino won more and at a higher level than Chesney. He didn't even make the playoffs this year. How is he a "winner?"

What? Do your homework.

 

[Marroniac]

Now I'm just envisioning all the people that went to bed that are going to wake up, see more pages, and then... oof.

 

[cali315phan]

What? Do your homework.

Chesney has a 68% win percentage at Holy Cross. Dino had a 70% win percentage prior to Syracuse. Bowling Green is a higher level, by a lot, than Holy Cross.

They were in the semifinal for the fcs championship last year and lost that game to the champion, South Dakota state. He’s been in the playoffs before.

Chesney better be working on hisn player introductory speech. It needs to be the speech of his life

Dino coached 2 years at Bowling Green Chesney 6 years at HC. HC is not that far behind BG. The school only has 3,000 students and they would be FBS if not for other sports.
Edit: Babers inherited a winning program from Dave Clausen. Chesney inherited a loser.

I can’t wait to hear about how the administration was bought in to making this program relevant again. You had one shot to make it happen.

Playing Buffalo, Toledo, Western Michigan is not the same as Dartmouth and Colgate, stop. Either way, we're getting a guy with exactly ZERO P5 experience, which is less than what Dino had atleast as an assistant. So like I said, if they want the dome to remain empty, sure, hire a guy like Chesney.

 

[SURules]

Just when I get sucked back in again with hope, the administration somehow kicks me back into their sense of reality, I’m in a wait and see mode but this is such a Syracuse thing right now. So disappointing.

 

[Nick44]

I heard Fran Brown is a candidate now. Lol

 

[OrangeOnions]

The story Wildhack should tell, regardless of whether or not it's true, is that he reached out through his ESPN ties to bring Mullen in to consult. He wanted to pick his brain on the current state of SU football, and what he thought about potential candidates. Mullen visited on Wednesday, toured the facilities, and gave some valuable input.

It's plausible, and everyone saves face.

IF he doesn’t take another job.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Not surprised. This is Cuse we’re talking about. We’re not a big dog, we don’t fork over big money and hire proven winners

 

[Cuse12]

I am dead inside. As if going back to work after thanksgiving long weekend wasn’t hard enough

 

[23Zone]

For those just waking up, refer to page 205 to save you some time trying to figure out what the hell happened during REM sleep. What a kick to the nuts!!

 

[crales44]

Boo this news.

 

[Cuse181]

Brutal. Real or not with Dan, an FCS hire in Chesney is always going to be a mistake and I hope the admin is savvy enough to see that, if Dan was never a possibility then you need to go all out on bronco.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Well, this sucks. I guess it happened at a good time as I need to go back to work today. At this point I’m not going to invest in coaching search threads and just welcome the new coach when he’s announced. I don’t have the energy to go through this again.
