Former OC Beck not with team in Boca, Lynch to call offense

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

According to Axe via Leiker

Not totally surprising, although expected him to call plays unless he got another confirmed gig, which I havent heard of yet

I know this game is what it is at this point, but from a purely football level, I'd prefer the architect of the wildcat / villari offense be there when we need to roll it out again.

I'm a bit disappointed. Unless he has another job that he has to get to.

Have to believe he will be working with Bronco in New Mexico in some capacity. No real need for him to stay for the bowl.

Same. 100% get it if he has another gig. But the game is in 3 days and we've heard not a peep about it, and his Twitter bio still shows cuse.

I would think Bronco would be bringing him in at his new gig right?

Possible although it's certainly been a slow roll if so

Are we sure we are running Wildcat and not throwing out Davis to see what he's capable of?

Have we heard anything about the team leading up to the bowl? I haven’t really seen anything besides recruiting news.

Beck has to do what's best for him at this point even though I wish he had stayed for the Bowl. He is not being kept on at Syracuse so wishing him the best.

Of course. Not in any way criticizing, just surprised as I have not heard anything about him getting an offer

I cant see them do that when they didn't trust him to play Pitt in some random game

Different staff not trying to white knuckle their way to saving their jobs. Maybe they want to see what they have in Davis.

Possible. Still don't expect it, but who knows.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

I'm confused. Who is coaching the team on Thursday? Old staff? New staff?

I dont know thats necessarily whats best for him. I think him being able to show off his creativity offense that he had to adopt without a true QB like Shrader would help get him in position for the better jobs. Unless he already has a job that hasnt been annouced yet.

Well he’s under contract till February so it’s the school that would be doing best for
Him letting him leave early.

I would assume he got ok to leave early.

 

[donniesyracuse]

He quit on this team!

He’s only gone because he has his next job.

I assume JW told him to get busy on his next job- we’re good. Likely with Bronco. This kind of stuff is noted in the coaching ranks
JW is a good AD to work for. Nothing really gained by anyone with him staying. It’s a glorified exhibition game.

I find it interesting that Coach Lynch, who has been the OC at Syracuse before, will call the plays. He is the only member of the staff that has reportedly found a new job (as RB coach for Nevada).

I would have thought he was gone from the time he took the new job. Guessing he wants to do a solid for all the kids he has coached here and stay with them until the season officially ends after the bowl game.

That is pretty commendable in my book. Quality guy.

Props to the Nevada HC too for letting him do this.

He might be interviewing

He has to put food on the table

I hope it's with Bronco at New Mexico because I could really get into following them, especially if Beck's are there.

Yep

You see, Players that don't play in the bowl game are scum and bad teammates.

Coaches...it's just part of the job, man

fwiw, my real feelings are I wish Beck luck in his future endeavors, no issues with him not coaching. These bowl games are pointless anyway
