Dan Mullen

[bigmike]

Just looking forward to a coach who will communicate with the fans through the media and at pressers. Someone tell me - Is that to much to ask?

Let’s keep an eye out for private jets heading from BOS -> SYR
We need all hands on deck for this!

 

[storange]

Not quite sure what the point is though? Should we not like this hire? We’ve had several hires, why are you singling out the GRob hire?

it was a joke

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Speak for yourself. I loathed the hire when it happened. Guy was a complete moron

Agreed. As a student we were all like What?

His tenure as Chiefs DC wasn't good either I believe they had a ridiculous collapse and horrible stats. Timing sucked to because they let P coach the bowl game.

I wanted Norm Chow

I think he goes back to his Mom's house in NH for tonight and tomorrow and flies to Cuse on Sunday. Monday announcement? Tuesday, the latest? Introduce him at LSU hoops game Tuesday night at half? We can only hope.

[TexanMark]

What pray tell is Eddie O. doing in the stands in Chestnut Hill on T'giving weekend watching a meaningless game between Miami-BC? Shouldn't he be in some exotic locale?

Syracuse coaching search gains focus

The Orange are seeking to quickly replace the fired Dino Babers

JOHN BRICE

4 HOURS AGO





It's been less than a week since Syracuse officials fired coach Dino Babers, but the Orange's search for the program's next head coach appears to be coming into focus.

Syracuse officials have been quickly working through a handful of candidates, but the one name coming up in more areas connected to the search than any other: Bob Chesney.

Just finishing his sixth year atop the Holy Cross program, Chesney has proved a steady program-builder across three head-coaching stints.

Skip Ad

Prior to taking over at Holy Cross in 2018, Chesney had turned the Assumption Greyhounds into perennial NCAA Football Division II Playoffs regulars, including a 2017 run to the quarterfinals.

At Salve Regina in the New England Football Conference, Chesney guided the Seahawks to 23 wins in three seasons and a bowl victory.

His deep ties throughout the Northeast are seen as a key along with his track record as a head coach, which includes a lifetime 111-46 mark.

Holy Cross reached unprecedented heights under Chesney, with the Crusaders unleashing a 12-0 run through the 2022 campaign before falling in the Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals. They still closed the season as the AFCA's No. 6 team in the final FCS Top 25.

While Chesney has been a central figure in the search, sources told FootballScoop that Syracuse officials also vetted numerous candidates that included Toledo head coach Jason Candle, Marshall's Charles Huff and Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden, a former head coach at Temple and Miami.

Additionally, sources this week told FootballScoop that Syracuse officials also have done significant due diligence on Dan Mullen and that the Orange search committee had been expected to speak with Mullen, the former Florida and Mississippi State head coach.

One source told FootballScoop Syracuse AD John Wildhack has been pleasantly surprised by the depth of candidates that have shown interest in the job adding, "A lot of very experienced coaches are interested and other conversations are ongoing; but at this time it looks like Chesney or Mullen."

Syracuse hosts Wake Forest Saturday in the program's 2023 regular-season finale. The Orange (5-6) could qualify for a postseason-berth with a win.

Those two things were both true, tbh.

 

[OrangeFreek]

What if he came here as a consultant for another??

Also — not saying this is the case, but JW might be pissy with Thamel for leaking the Babers news too quickly

Chesney, Candle, and White as potential hires. He did not mention Mullen.

out of those 3 i'd take Candle.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

out of those 3 i'd take Candle.

Candle would be a distant 3rd for me of that group

Defensive head coaches don't win in todays game, out on White. Candle has won against better competition that Chesney.
