First timer. Over 30 years basketball and football season ticket holder. Many family members SU graduates including my 90 year old father. I bleed Orange and love to follow this site as it’s informative and entertaining.

Welcome Norman !

What a rollercoaster of a week. First was all in on Chesney, then Mullenmania, then the crashing after that 11:57pm tweet, then back on the Chesney Express, then it lets get Frantastic!

It’s not about flipping them, it’s hooking their displaced backups who are headed to the portal anyway

If someone goes into the portal can they still play in remaining (Georgia) games?

 

[Cusefan69]

I think Fran has an ability to help drive ticket renewals and new STHs as well if he can come in and win the off season. Strong OC/DC hires, retain perhaps key starters and most importantly hit the portal hard and reel in a QB who can garner some excitement.

Matt Rhule thinks he should be a head coach.

Wonder if he's trying to talk him out of it too.

Probably not, since it doesn't impact the best performing assistant on his staff.

 

[Deleted member 7047]

Maybe Matt Rhule put ADJW onto Brown when JW called Rhule about White. Who knows.

 

[JrodCuse]

Really curious to see OC/DC hires and how he fleshes out the staff if he is indeed the guy.

 

[Scooch]

Spend an hour with Brown…

These are going to be crucial to this staff

 

[Ozone!]

Is he our guy?

 

[DoubleDee]

First, I hope this is for the best and all works out.

But this has me cracking up right now...

THIS PAGE YESTERDAY: Chesney is unproven, and if he fails in two or three years we have to start all over again.
THIS PAGE TODAY: Brown looks like a great risk to take, and he he fails, we just start all over again, no biggie.

THE MAN LIKES MOBB DEEP!

Just give him the HC gig and let him cook.

Let's go!

Well thread on Fran If you’re still curious about his background! "https://t.co/kUSOWgw6Fl">pic.twitter.com/kUSOWgw6Fl</a></p>&mdash; Tyler J Terramiggi (@Tdot_Terramiggi) <a href=""

I kind of love how Al has gone from somewhat disparaged to legend status.

right, it remains the biggest pattern disconnect of my life, basing an impression from only from an online football message board, thinking this.....then meeting the dude and thinking that. Impressive very cool person he was

Pitt is almost always my gauge, think about when Syracuse and Pitt are good at the same time, it doesn’t really ever happen, IMO it’s because we are always going after the same pool of players. I don’t think you can be successful only recruiting the NE, but you HAVE to hold your own and win the majority of recruiting battles against “peer” schools

Yep, I think we can be the #2 program in the Northeast behind Penn State (with obviously a pretty big gap from #1 to #2)... But to do so we have to out recruit Pitt, Rutgers, BC, and UConn in the Northeast... and hold our own in the DMV against Va Tech, Maryland, and UVA.

Also, I've caught up to page 60 but when I started on page 50 you guys were on page 63 or something. Slow down! lol

The #3 recruit in the nation, who Brown landed for Georgia, is a tri-state kid. It'll be interesting whether he sticks with Georgia or looks elsewhere.

 

[RandomGuy]

Yeah, top 25 seems overly optimistic, if not borderline delusional. Had the program come close in twenty years, I could be convinced. Are there examples of programs who consistently live outside of the top 50 suddenly pulling in Top 25 classes? If so, then maybe I'm too pessimistic.

I won't go as far as borderline delusional. A FEW kids will go with a coach they love. The rest will look at the record, and decide whether they believe in the coaches ability. Our 10 win season didnt move the needle. Dino DID move it from recruiting in the 60's to 51, and 50. 2019 removed all hype, and that was it.

Brown will need to string together a few good years. Remove the losing stigma, and a few more kids may come our way. IF we string together 3 winning years? Yes. He may be able to take advantage of that.

In a profession where minorities are still proportionally under-represented, I think it is cool that the last two head coaching hires have been black men. Now it’s time to start adding some women to the coaching staff.

Imagine if he followed him?!

 

[orangepassion]

Longtime lurker excited for a new beginning at Syracuse. Who on the current staff besides Nunzio would you keep?

Fisher and Beck. Everyone talks about Nunzio, but Fisher is the best recruiter from the last staff.

How about we just hire the best coaches regardless of race or gender?

 

[CuseGrad94]

Very, very impressive, I can see him crushing an interview and relating to kids extremely well. Seems very, very no nonsense
