Message: [QUOTE="ECE '76, post: 4715466, member: 8656"] You have to remember that both Pitt and Penn State were national powers in the early 80s. SU also played at Nebraska in 1983, NU went 12-1 losing to Miami in the Orange Bowl on a failed 2-point conversion. And then WVU went undefeated the year after SU did. Pitt dropped off in the P era, although SU still played tough schedules under P. I hold Mac in the highest regard, because all I knew of SU FB before him was losing. And if you talk to players from the '87 team they still praise Mac, but didn't care for P. P's accomplishments are definitely under appreciated. One losing record in 14 years?!? He deserves to be honored (I guess this will be controversial but not the ring of honor - I mean you can't have but so many people or else it becomes meaningless, and we have too many statues already). I seem to recall that Frank Maloney was brought back to be honored, even though he was fired. Mac was brought back when his health was obviously failing, riding across the field in a golf cart. He seemed to relish the moment. P was inducted into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame in 2021, but he was assigned to an on field coaching position in mid-season at Florida and had a conflict on the day he supposed to come to Syracuse, so he never made it.
