Rutgers board:

“Worst case scenario for RU - Were already barely getting top 10 players in NJ now will be that much harder if Fran gets the job “

Thamel on ESPN just said Cuse will announce Brown this afternoon.

SEVENTH SEASON

Is he going to need a colonoscopy to be cleared athletically?

 

[PAcuse]

I love this for the recruiting ascpect and kind of "out of the box thinking" with NIL now
ALSO really love it for the big old FU to Ruturds and NEVER getting a good kid out of NJ again

Each hour that goes by I’m more and more on board with this hire. Portal openings should be fun!

This seems similar to hiring Red. No, Fran is not an alum, nor has he worked for Syracuse for a long time, also he isn't following a legend. Ok, so maybe he isn't similar at all. The part that I think is similar is that I think Fran, if hired, will win the off-season. His talent accumulation will be impressive and have us thinking big for next season. But, his lack of head coaching experience may lead to a slow start to the season. Either way, bring him on, change was needed.

His own quote “no one is gonna outwork me”.

The 5 years of DC experience for Freeman stand out as a major difference.

I’m not discounting it and Brown technically had 1 season as a co-defensive coordinator. Just saying I see a lot of other parallels. Trying to be positive with this hire after not getting Mullen.

Grandma Fran is gonna take all your portal transfers and then give you a five dollar gift certificate to Friendlys.

Scroll up after clicking, former Baylor QB who was there when Fran was.

Screwing Rutgers over can't be overlooked as a major positive.

Im thinking he is gonna really surprise a lot of people with his ability to pull in players. Obviously he’ll need to back that up with a good assistant coaching decisions.

I'd like to see this sting PSU and ND a little as well.

Gerry Bohanon. Need to scroll up.

I am beginning to understand Wildhack's logic. When we were good, we recruited NJ well, among other adjacent states along with Florida. The best way to recruit NJ well is to get Fran Brown and have Coach Nunz on board. Hopefully Fran can coach

I'm like 20 minutes from Camden, might check out a few games from a distance...lol

Thamel just on ESPN CFB Live saying SU “has a coach” and they will announce Fran Brown this afternoon.

Yeah, I wasn't signed into X, because I am at work, so it wouldn't show me anything other than the comment. Thank you both.

THIS AFTERNOON... it's freaking 3:45 already. I can't take this anymore.

So I've got that going for me.....which is nice...

I am surprised no one has referenced Marcus Freeman as a comparable coach to Fran Brown when he was hired as HC at Notre Dame. Freeman is younger that Brown too. He did have 4-5 years as a DC and prior experience at ND but other than that there are some comparisons IMO. Thoughts?

I follow ND in addition to being an alum and STH for SU. I thought about the comparison but Freeman was already at ND and it was an internal promotion that the players all supported which was what pushed it over the top. I'm not sure what, if any role the players had in this choice and as you state, Freeman was a DC not just a position coach.

Was 12-2 at Baylor as their starting QB in 2021 and was recruited by Fran Brown out of HS. Looking to get a 7th year due to an injury. Dual Threat.

Technically any time up to 11:59PM is after noon.

I'd be ok with simply stinging RU, PITT BC and UConn for now.
