Fran Brown Coaching Staff

Are any of these names here confirmed? Or is this all just more wishful thinking?

Was said a couple pages back Erob is a done deal.

Nothing's confirmed until SU sends out a tweet with the name spelled wrong.

I’d leave PBrown at running backs. Nixon can just be OC. Not a fan of having a guy coach a position he’s never coached with all these new hires and first timers.

Steelers O assistant Glenn Thomas has been mentioned a few times he makes the most sense logistically as he also coaches QBs.

I get this feeling to that Mike Johnson might be retained as wide receivers coach.

Yeah Mike Johnson would make sense.

Who’s going to restore our pipeline to German talent?

I hear Sgt Schultz is available

Well SU HC Frank Browne says it is true.

Let's just wait for the ink to dry before we call it done but it certainly is promising no doubt.

That’s my stance too, but just referencing what was said by other posters in the thread.

Rosevelt Bowie approves

Yeah I don’t agree. It’s highly unlikely Fran stays for a long time. Coaches in general don’t stay for a long time nationally. I’m not crapping on SU at all but bigger payroll schools will come calling and he’ll be gone. We always try to convince ourselves on this board whether it’s recruits or coaches, that they’ll want to come here instead of almost doubling their pay. Coaches are constantly on the move. I’ll be more than happy to eat crow if he’s still here in 5 years I’m just being realistic. It would be a unicorn sighting if he was still here by then.

John’s job is to hire great coaches. If he does it well, other schools will try and hire them away.

I hope we have this problem. It is a great sign our sports are on the rise.

I agree. Not crapping on this at all. Just pointing out reality. We’ve potentially got a great collection of recruiters coming in that would be hard to emulate in the future if it all comes together.

Thank you. And my wife thanks you, as I am supposed to be putting lights on a tree and not reading several hundred back pages of SyracuseFan.

Wishful

My wife told me last week that if she needs something from me she is going to get an account here and send me messages via posts. “David, can you grab some lettuce at the store. Oh, hi everyone, go Syracuse!”

 

[djorange1989]

Wishful

Nothing official but some names are a lot more than wishful

Until it’s official it’s just talk

Have you not learned anything? we’ve had three coaches bail on us, who were all but hired

Ha! My wife actually has an account here. But she’s never used it. I’m not going to tell her your wife’s idea.

Yup, Dabo did this when he took over. Rode it for a while but backfilling became harder and harder (apparently) but boy did they strike iron going from middle of the road to elite for a decade, sliding back down to great.

Not saying we will duplicate that, but you can catch lightening in a bottle.

The ex post narrative is Clemson did everything they did because of their resources when the reality they accomplished most of their goals (including Champ #1) before the infusion of money and facilities. The winning is what facilitated the support and cash infusion and we can absolutely replicated that

Okay. Thinking if we get to the point where we are in the top half of the ACC and have gone to 3 or 4 bowl games in a row, recruiting starts getting easier. Don’t need a top 10 recruiter to get good players then.

Sustaining is far easier than the initial turnaround.

Came across this Ped State podcast. “Syracuse will fail” is their take. Interesting that they are at least worried a little. Gosh I hate Penn State.

Pedo State Podcast (Click Here)

From a Penn State viewpoint, Syracuse has failed for decades. We beat them about a quarter of the time.

It's no different than anything else. Assess and recognize strengths and weaknesses. Play to strengths and work on the weaknesses. It will always change as you go but you have to learn to assess it often. If you have someone that realize what is deficient as you go you always will have a chance. I am excited to see how this plays out and I think it's what SU needed. Some of these coaches lack experience but that is ok as long as they can self-reflect and adapt.

Fran is bringing energy and excitement to the Cuse. I'm here for it!!!!

Gives him time for his dream job too

Yep, White set the market. Match it.
