I doubt Dino found it LOL when he was pulled from calling plays.

Were the rankings before or after the numbers were inflated by Dohn?“The Camden, New Jersey native is currently rankedNo. 26 nationally as a recruiter in the 2022 rankings by 247 Sports. His South Jersey ties and ability to recruit that area has been instrumental in Rutgers improving the talent and depth of the roster. He is credited as the lead recruiter for five current 2022 commits, including 4-star prospects Moses Walker (LB), Anthony Johnson (LB), and Samuel Brown (RB), as well as high 3-star prospects Amarion Brown (WR) and Kenny Fletcher (Edge).”
At friggen Rutgers. When was Nick Monroe a top 30 recruiter here? Oh that’s right we never had more than 1 or 2 4 stars out of HS in Dino’s classes so I guess never.
Exactly. People complained about Babers recruiting and our class rankings weren’t that great. Just improve our ranking by 10 or 15 spots and we should have a team better able to compete.
I really do not get this higher if it’s true. There is a lot more to being a head coach then recruiting. Clock management, game planning and in game decisions to name a few. Fran has never been a head coach and there is no evidence he has had to deal with these issues in the past.
People will argue that his assistant coaches can handle those responsibilities. I do not buy that and if that is the case higher the assistants as the head coach.
Recruiting is vital but to me now it’s all about nil. If you have nil and pay the player they will come or stay at a school.
Coaching still matters. Prime was able to pull all that talent from the portal and won 4 games. Yes he improved by 3 games.
I will always support the team but I do not think Brown would be the right choice. We will see what happens.
We would take Doug in a heartbeat.And Doug had his notebook, right?
If you were French, you still wouldn’t care.You’re right. But I’m not French so I don’t really care
Nick was never considered a top 20 or top 30 recruiter. That’s why he stayed at Syracuse so long and only moved up to Minnesota when he left.If Nick Monroe was DB coach at UGA he’d be #1 too. It’s really not saying much
No Matt. Universities can’t provide NIL money. It has to come from boosters.Well, that's what this hire yells - we've got money to spend on NIL. We just save a couple million dollars. Now, it's how we use it.
Okay.If this is Wildhack's pic, then no, we CAN'T trust John Wildhack.
Such a crap system. Pass the employers problem onto the consumer. NIL is tipping at a restaurant.No Matt. Universities can’t provide NIL money. It has to come from boosters.
Metrics wise we will get to see how it plays out.If the hiring process results in Brown, who has 1 year of Co-DC and no head coaching experience, I think it's a disappointment. I get how some of you may have concerns with Bob Chesney, but he is an experienced and successful program builder, coach, and developer of talent. He has recruiting contacts in all of the key recruiting states and high schools.
If Syracuse doesn't hire Chesney, BC will after next season and we will all see how successful he is.
I've always admired your optimism and enthusiasm, tomcat. Here's hoping you're right.In the final analysis, there are lots of good X and O guys out there. The supply of good OCs and good DCs is pretty good, especially if you are willing to pay a good salary.
There aren’t a lot of great recruiters out there. We have historically had a really hard time even getting pretty good recruiters to Syracuse, forget about retaining them for long periods.
The role of the HC is changing. I think that person is increasingly focused on recruiting. You need someone who is charismatic; a great people person who can build and maintain relationships so they can attract good players and retain those players for the long term.
That is what Fran brings to the table. It is a rare and special skill that power programs covet. You can’t build a great team without it.
Almost no HC calls the plays on offense, or makes the defensive calls. It isn’t a big deal Fran hasn’t done this. That is what your coordinators do.
The HC position is more about getting and retaining talent these days. Having a vision for where the program is going and making sure the program stays on track towards that. Brown is well suited for the new era of college football. We are ahead of the curve here. Other schools will eventually emulate us.
Assuming we officially get him!
The last sentence in your post is so true with today's crazy media reports.In the final analysis, there are lots of good X and O guys out there. The supply of good OCs and good DCs is pretty good, especially if you are willing to pay a good salary.
