I suspect over the course of the last 20 years, our record was going to be similar that 100-143 - it didn’t matter if Coach P was fired after ‘04, ‘05, or ‘06 (and I can’t see him lasting any longer than that).  Syracuse had under-invested in athletics since the Dome was built, and by the 90’s we were far, far behind many of our peers.  We had administrations that took winning for granted/were incompetent/had other pressing priorities (choose any or all).

Firing a guy after a bowl is a catastrophically bad idea - they should have used that to quietly start a coaching search and replaced Coach P after ‘05 if/when it didn’t go well.  My guess is Shaw and Jake had successfully incinerated all the equity they had with fans with their disastrous PR debacles and felt they had no choice - but that’s on them for completely screwing up every time they talked to the media.  But Coach P took the fall for it.

When I look at the administrations the school has had in my lifetime, I’m baffled how in the hell Syracuse ever won anything.  We won in spite of the leadership, not because of it
