I am saying this cautiously, very cautiously, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised when Coyle makes a hire.  I really have no idea who that will be, but it makes ZERO sense for him to rush into the Ash hire with all of these other targets coaching through their respective conference championship games this weekend.  If guys like Babers, Brohm and Montgomery, among others, all happen to say "no thanks", then he can use Ash as a fallback option.  I don't think he is going anywhere, but who knows on that either.

My whole stance right now is that Coyle has the money to spend and can afford to wait until Sat night.  Is the money going to be the same as a VT or Clemson?  No way, but it will be far more competitive than what Shafer and Marrone were making.  Another thing to remember is that the contracts are pure hearsay.  As a private school, Syracuse does not have to release contract details.  You can find out what the coach is making once they file their extended return, but that will be awhile from now.

I have blind faith in Coyle and the more and more I use hindsight, I am glad Frost didn't pull the trigger on us.  His real intentions are quite obvious, so we dodged a bullet.  I would like to see Coyle sign someone to a 5-6 year deal with heavy buyout options in the event of a poach.  Enough of the 3 and 4 year tenures.  Syracuse is very similar to Duke and the next coach will need at least 4 years to get the team where they need them to be.  Just my opinion.
