I’ve been as critical as any, but today’s article was well put together

Just read it as well. Perhaps we are starting to see his growth as a reporter. I think it’s important for people to remember as much as reporters have a level of impartiality. It’s good for their resume and career to be covering a winning program. Their work tends to get more attention when people are engaged with the program. When that isn’t happening perhaps you see that frustration affect their questions and reporting.

Fran Brown has second thoughts on how he handled backup QBs: ‘We should have adapted’ (10 things to know)

Syracuse has to win its final three games to go bowling.

I wonder if this indicates some friction between Fran and Nixon. The whole world knew that we needed to adjust to he skill sets of Collins, Carney, etc.. Why does it take 5 games for a coach to acknowledge that?

Alot of coaches are very stubborn and it's their way and you will learn it or else. Not saying it's right but yeah sucks that we didn't adapt quicker.

I personally think there is without Fran directly saying it, also the Yasin Willis getting more snaps…. Also Fran was actually pointing out in the summer I believe prior to camp (I can’t remember the exact timeline) of how we have to continue to adjust and innovate what we do with the players we have. I would be stunned if Nixon returns. Before it was Nixon getting an opportunity to be one of the highest paid offensive coordinator jobs or a head coach job. He still may, but I think he is gone regardless even for a lateral move because him and Fran don’t gel well.

Stubbornness and/or inflexibility don’t show up on a resume - you learn that through experience with someone. If that’s indeed what is going on here then I think Fran has handled it about as well as could be expected for a young coach.

Man I like Fran a lot. But what an absolute clusterF*** this season turned into once Angeli got hurt. I get the vibe there’s a little turmoil behind the scenes with the football program and Fran’s trying to keep it upright right now
