I don’t have much of a problem with Coach P as a coach, other than he tended to get very conservative and play not to lose.  Although that does give an indication of his personalty trait - that he’s a conservative guy unwilling to rock the boat - that was his biggest weakness and my biggest gripe.  Both he and Jake knew Syracuse was not investing enough in football - but rather than go public or take other jobs, they overprioritized “loyalty” and tried to make an impossible situation work.

The result was always going to be that they left behind an absolute dumpster fire of a program which was going to be hard to rebuild.  That doesn’t excuse the decisions Coach P had nothing to do with that didn’t help dig Syracuse out of the hole and just made things worse - but we should be able to acknowledge he himself shares some of the blame for why we have fewer wins in the 20 years since he left that he had in his Syracuse career.  Our substandard facilities were always going to become a major issue.
