so you saying he gets another shot in 2 yrs.He is not playing for an NC. He works for Cuse now.

I would think we would want him to go win a NC with Georgia and bring some of that luster to SU.you think he is telling a guy playing for a NC to leave? He might pull double duty but I dont think you tell a guy to leave his team like that.
That's sort of where I am as well. I don't really want high risk at this point with so much on the line, but I am up for something much different than we've been doing the past 20 years or so. Brown's ability to recruit could be a game changer, who knows. Effffff it... I'm in.I really was strongly against the hire initially but I do think we have to look ourselves in the mirror. What we've been doing is not working. We're not the kind of job who can hire away proven P5 coaches either.
This certainly feels risky as hell but we don't win, and haven't won consistently in a long, long time. I guess let's take the shot
Exactly. Can you imagine:I just don't think this is the case.
I have to think ADJW would make starting immediately a requirement in any job offer.
Good lord, you are talking about getting the casual fan excited. Well, these casual fans don't even know who Dan Mullens is and they don't care. The casual fans will go to games when the team starts winning. So hiring a "named coach" doesn't mean anything to to the rest of Onondaga County.
This could also go good...fast. We literally dont knowHe's never called plays - at all. I don't care if he's the -ing Rain Man of recruiters. This could go bad fast.
Why would Georgia want that? With the portal seems risky.
I wouldn't be surprised if he lands more four star kids his first two months than we have in two years

HIRE BROWNI wonder how the former Cuse players feel about this hire? Will they be included in some compacity?DONT CARE
I don't think the "Casual Fan" takes note of who is giving them game updates. Everyone on this board, sure but not the person that just flips on the TV for scores or background noise.Dan Mullen is on TV every Saturday in the studio or doing games for ESPN. I think this is a bit of a reach to say that nobody knows who he is.
You may be in the minority on this.
Hiring Fran Brown is NOT going to get people excited about SU football. Hoping for the best for the guy, but this isn't a hire that will pump juice into the fanbase. Maybe it does with people here on this website who are the die-hards of the die-hards, but for the rest of Onondaga County it won't.
I am actually shocked this is the hire they are making. Praying for the best and for this to work out. We will see.

Deion is not a coach, he’s a personality. Fran would be a coach as that’s what he’s done for years.How did that work out for Deion. Kinda kidding but 4*'s are worthless if not coached well.
He's not the best we could get. We could've hired an actual HC of another program.Wildhack and the brass know this. They know he will be on the shortleash with the fanbase and a lot of folks will be wait-and-see. It is what it is.
He's the best we could get.
Here's hoping he wildly outperforms expectations.
No one will be shocked if he underperforms or can't handle the gig.
