do we have new AD. Drew Robinson from Rutgers ?

[rrlbees]

Fantastic hire on this one, more I read on the guy, more it sounds like a no brainer.

He had his hands in a lot of things at Rutgers during his time there. Recruiting, branding, football social media, fan experience, did some work with mike quick on MSG varsity.

 

[CuseOnly]

Maybe Sala wasn't interested in the job and is happier being the hardest working guy on the hill.

Really like the Director of Football Ops. hire.

On A side note, I saw coach Adam, Lester and our new tight ends coach this morning on my flight to Chicago.

Whatever it takes to get a public firing of Lael...

Shouldn't we spell it Leal?

Wait, she isn't on the adjunct professor career path too?

OrangePa - You need to add one more question to your list.

This is outstanding. Great guy who was great here and was great at Rutgers. He's gonna do some great things here. Couldn't be happier for him.

Who made the hire on behalf of Syracuse?

No idea but it must have been a very smart person.

 

[BlackKnight76]

Caught wind of it this afternoon, and he's pretty much getting sparkling reviews from every corner of the Syracuse and Rutgers internet. Excited about this hire.

 

[texascpa]

I have to think that Shafer had a hand in this hire, yes? If so, he's put all of his chips in on New Jersey recruits it seems. White and him should make a great combo.

 

[TheCusian]

This hire gets us off to a nice start. Need to hit a FB grand slam with the AD. Land Washington. Restore 44.

Just out of curiosity why is Pete Sala "not a candidate?"

Sala implied that he wanted the job in a TV Intvw during the spring game. I think this was Syverud making clear to everyone Sala isn't being considered for the job.

 

[kcsu]

Pete is an amazing individual but im not sure if being the AD is a good fit for him. I think that Syverud is making a good call in going in a new direction. I also believe that he will take very good care of Pete as he should

 

[longtimefan]

Shouldn't we spell it Leal?

"Leal" is only used in conjunction with "loyal".

 

[Cheriehoop]

LOL - OMG look at what picture World News Network included when reporting on SU's new hire, Drew Robinson and the video they used.

[richmondcuse03]

He was a bit of a tool in college (I went to school with him and knew him a bit) but I assume he has matured and grown up since then -- god knows must of us have. He always wanted to work in football and busted his ass working as a team manager during the darkest days so I will give him credit for that. He's also pretty young for this role so he must be doing something right.

 

[CPark Orange]

Just out of curiosity why is Pete Sala "not a candidate?"

Because he is strictly a facilities guy...

"A 1979 graduate of Jamesville-DeWitt High School, Sala attended Morrisville College before transferring to the University of Massachusetts, where he completed its program in turf management."

No announcement? It's as if she was never there.

What they doing going to Chicago, they should be on a flight heading to NC to see Mr. Washington.

No... it would be Smith who would be going to NC. That is his main recruiter.

 

[Deano]

Maybe they already have him locked up and are moving on to another great recruit

Great!

 

[Hoo's That]

I hope that doesn't mean he brings that dumpster fire you folks always talk about with him. couchburn

I think that when you just go through 8 years of NCAA scrutiny and are found in violation (accurate or not) of rules and penalized for that... you can't really hire from in-house. It just looks bad and not like you are promoting real change. Sala could be great for the job but they really have to go outside.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Yep. Director of Football Operations.

Ah, so he's the new guy in charge of Academics?

I keed. I keed.
