That applies to all but about five programs now. Notre Dame couldn’t even keep their successful coach. It’s not a long term problem if you plan for how to sustain. We should all be praying for the problem of him being so good that he was poached.Brown will be gone in 3-4 years, either because he was fired or snatched up by another program. If it’s the latter, there might be enough talent left over for another successful season or two. Bottom line, we’ll be here again before you know it.
He’s a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
25 calls between Wildhack and Brown. 90min Thanksgiving night call. incredible.
They were keeping each other up to speed on the Dan Mullen thread.Exchanging recipes?
I’ll never quite understand this take. We should hire someone who no one else would want if they do well? We’re Syracuse — if someone does well then other schools are going to come snifffing around. Deal with that if and when it happens.Brown will be gone in 3-4 years, either because he was fired or snatched up by another program.

This is an old take that people still try to make. Even though we're behind in the race we're doing our best to catch up and aren't afraid to pay anymore. I don't think a successful head coach is going to jump unless it's to a school that has money they don't know what to do with. And if he is that successful and does jump it should be that much easier to find our next head coach when we have something to pitch.I’ll never quite understand this take.

I bet good money they were talking about our new Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sam Elliott.25 calls between Wildhack and Brown. 90min Thanksgiving night call. incredible.
Wouldnt be suprised if he promoted Nunz to OCGood. Now we can argue about the coordinators.
He can teach our special teams specialists how to grow some real staches.I bet good money they were talking about our new Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sam Elliott.
I really hope Nunz stays.Wouldnt be suprised if he promoted Nunz to OC

This reminds me--and I'm not suggesting that the situation is analogous (although I hope it is)--when Jeffrey Lurie was looking for a HC, Andy Reid, who had no previous HC experience,came in with a binder describing precisely his plan and how he would implement it. Lurie said he was blown away, had never seen anything like it, and made the decision to hire him.Wildhack said Brown had an incredibly detailed plan for the program. I suspect that includes his primary options for his staff, as well as secondary options.
Wildhack is the guy who dramatically increased pay for assistants during Dino’s tenure. So I’m sure he’s down with the plan.
Which is all to say I’m not advocating that anyone currently on staff be retained. It’s Fran’s kitchen, let him buy the groceries.
Brown absolutely should get to decide on every member of his staff, but I think a fair request from Wildhack should be that his first choice list includes a former P5 HC to help him out.Wildhack said Brown had an incredibly detailed plan for the program.

When I was at SU a fraternity brother of mine ran for VP of Membership, which is pledge master. He presented an incredibly detailed plan, won easily, and then went on to run an amazing pledge class. It taught me a lesson about planning and preparation.This reminds me--and I'm not suggesting that the situation is analogous (although I hope it is)--when Jeffrey Lurie was looking for a HC, Andy Reid, who had no previous HC experience,came in with a binder describing precisely his plan and how he would implement it.

I think it was clear that late in Dino’s tenure JW was very influential in having him hire better help. I imagine he’ll provide a similar level of support for Fran.Brown absolutely should get to decide on every member of his staff, but I think a fair request from Wildhack should be that his first choice list includes a former P5 HC to help him out.
Tom Donahoe went crazy for Gregg Williams who had the best interview ever. 17-31This reminds me--and I'm not suggesting that the situation is analogous (although I hope it is)--when Jeffrey Lurie was looking for a HC, Andy Reid, who had no previous HC experience,came in with a binder describing precisely his plan and how he would implement it.

So anyway, I know some other people are willing to drive the Fran Brown Bandwagon Party Bus Train with me, but I can't remember.
Roll call, who's co-piloting this bad boy with me again?
