He can recruit wives.

Elliot played General John Buford , cavalry commander and day one hero at Gettysburg. This has absolutely 0 significance to this thread …………. but I love that movie .

I'm guessing Fran is also familiar with our top two offensive recruits since they play in Georgia. QB Jakhari Williams and TE Jamie Tremble.

The nunes article does mention McNabb on the search team not exactly thrilled with that.

Agreed. What the committee really needs is an alum; a parent of a Syracuse student; a person of color; a former Syracuse player; a former NFL player; a player who was all-conference calibre; a player who was all-pro calibre; a University Trustee; someone who's got deep pockets, etc.

Who knows, maybe Donovan will use the collective football savants of syracusefan.com as a proxy to offer insight and cast his vote? We have a few folks that fit some of that criteria.

Yes there is zero chance SUs flipping a GA commit, let's not go way overboard.

He won't flip one this year but about a year from now I'm guessing about 3-5 of these kids might not be so happy about sitting the bench in Athens and that's where we come in.

Does anyone have any guess as to what type of offense or defense he would likely install?

run and shoot

Now that we know who was on the search committee…that was McNabb, full of bourbon and off to the Atlanta strip clubs.

McNabb said screw it, I'll be the coach if you take one coach from every top 10 team. After Coach McCann, and my local Enterprise guy? This HAS to be it!

You know what they say, great things happen in twos...

Adrian "Red" Autry, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Syracuse, coached at Paul VI HS in 2007.

Fran Brown, the new Head Football Coach at Syracuse, coached at Paul VI HS in 2010.

The SU AD must think that the most important coaching qualification for staying relevant in the NIL age is being a recruiter. If the talent you develop is going to go elsewhere when they can then you need someone who can replace them quickly.

But if money is the main draw for good talent, then a good recruiter isn't going to overcome that disadvantage. Maybe the donors are looking for evidence that we can get talent here before investing. If so, then someone like Brown can make sense even if he sucks at everything else. He can set a precedent if nothing else.

The same skills that get kids to come to your college can get grown men to write fat checks to your NIL program.

EVERYTHING boils down to recruiting.

Multiple. Something that will snowball and catch fire. Probably wont be rocketry science.

Taking an hour or two off from these coach threads makes me feel like Han Solo coming out of Carbonite.

"Fran Brown's the new Syracuse Head Coach?! I'm out of it for a little while, everybody gets delusions of grandeur."

He was so good as the Sgt Major in We were solders.

Outstanding movie and everything Elliot is now very significant to the board

Not that I know what Penthouse Forum is.
