I am talking about even bigger gamble than that. Leipold when UB hired him, that's the type of move.

What was Sean Lewis? Another MAC coach.

Goofy post

I said mediocre MAC coach. Sean Lewis was like 32 when he became a HC. He is only 37 and is clearly ascending and he was never mediocre like Babers. There is a reason Deion brought him on staff.

Lewis turned a complete poop show around at Kent St, meanwhile Babers was gifted the players he had at BG.

 

[Crusty]

In no particular order, of likeliness or reality based metrics:

Ed Orgeron
Dan Mullen
Urban
The Dazzler
Marrone
Bo Pelini
Manny Diaz
Ken Whisenhunt
Matt Patricia
Tony White
Joe Philbin

Retreads all except White and he is not ready.

Spin it anyway you want. Numbers don't lie. He was a MAC coach you said you didn't want another MAC coach. Plenty of successful hires out of the MAC plenty of failures too.

I would be fine with Sean Lewis, like the guy but again doubt he's coming back to Syracuse.

Quite honestly, I don't really care who they hire, don't think it will result in some overwhelming success.

As I said, I would be taking a HUGE swing. even bigger than a MAC coach

Syracuse is not going to pay some new coach 5-6 million. That's a pipe dream unless they HAVE proven they can be successful at Syracuse

Bro what are you talking about, he isn't even a MAC coach right now and even if he was, there is a reason I emphasized "mediocre" I don't think he is mediocre like Babers, I think he is a good coach and Deion Sanders apparently does as well...
He is going to get a crack as HC at a p5 school in the next 2-3 years.

Why isn't White ready?

Bo Pelini is 100-55 career coaching record.

Throwing it out there - Jamie Chadwell. Buyout of his Liberty contract may not be doable.

MAC coach without a winning record as a HC

“When the Cincinnati job came open last winter, Lewis emerged as a top candidate.”

Why Sean Lewis left Kent State to be Deion Sanders' OC

At this point, it’s no stretch to say Lewis has made as big an impact as any new assistant in the country this season.

1. Sean Lewis (I'm dying on this hill, kick rocks )
2. Curt Cignetti (Enjoy what he is doing at JMU)
3. Jamey Chadwell (Chanticleers were a well-oiled machine under him)
4. Tyson Helton (Really like what his offense does and would be interesting in a dome)
5. Jeff Monken (Great at Georgia Southern and always has Army ready to go)


I believe any of these 5 can get the program turned in the right direction, some are older sure we would just need to have a plan for when they retire that would not cause a backslide.

Tyson Helton is an interesting one, wouldn’t be against it.

I’m actually confused about what your argument is…you said you’d want to take a bigger swing. I am agreeing. That’s why my number 1 choice is Mullen and Lewis is #2. With that said, I think Lewis is a hell of a coach and would take him.

Ranking the Top 25 OCs in college football in 2023

Offense wins championships in the modern era ... and these play-callers are the best in the business.

“Lewis left the Kent State head coaching job to be Deion Sanders’ offensive coordinator. His KSU offense led the nation in scoring in 2020 and was on the verge of developing the first NFL Draft picks at Kent State since 2014 before the group left for the portal. WRs Dante Cephas (Penn State) and Devontez Walker (North Carolina) and offensive linemen Marcellus Marshall (UCF) and Savion Washington (Colorado) are all projected draft picks.”

Dude was able to recruit to Kent St..

None of them move the needle. Lewis would never take the job if Dino is fired. If he retires, maybe.

I don't think there's any realistic coaching candidate that would move the needle across the broad swath of the fan base.

Agreed. That is a silly requirement. 90% of P5 programs cannot get a needle mover as HC if they needed a new one. SU is not in that 10% who can.

 

[FasterCuse]

stop with urban meyer. u got a better chance of art briles coming with clay travis as his offensive coordinator/dogwhistle

Like I said a pipe dream. None of those guys I listed are coming here. I know not the intent of the thread.

 

[DocFlanders]

How about Kirk Ferentz when he gets canned by Iowa

We don’t need him as we already have his offense

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I don't even care. Just get somebody that's what Dino is supposed to be - someone that understands how to build a passing offense for the Dome.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Not my Top 5 but some (I think) plausible names:

Dan Mullen
Tony White
Matt Patricia
Justin Outten
Nathaniel Hackett

Hackett is an interesting one. I wanted him over Shafer the last time. I discount the broncos dumpster fire. Aaron Rodgers swears by him.

 

[wfschrec]

Not sure how that impacts coaching ability, but good for them overcoming it.

Damb autocorrect I meant baggage

I think we’ve seen it’s more of a Denver front office issue not a Hackett issue

 

[Crusty]

Why isn't White ready?

Bo Pelini is 100-55 career coaching record.

Character issues got Bo fired and I guess he is now toxic for many. JW would never hire him.

White has no experience and I don't think we want a defensive guy.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

The only thing the new coach needs to do IMO is have a plan on offense that utilizes the fact we are the only team in the region with perfect weather for six games a year.
