That is a very good read and gives you a little bit of the picture on what that world is like.

This is an amazing story! Any great leader must have their people. Hope this relationship continues for years at Syracuse specifically lol. If all goes well and Fran retires here, this guy could very well be our future general manager or say successor to Fran as Head Coach. I’m serious.

I could see him moving to an NFL role in the future. Hopefully about 10-15 years from now.

It tells you a lot about the two of them. Sounds like they’re working 24 hours a day. They need to make sure they stop and smell the roses once in a while.

Helluva(n) article.

Fran will temporarily when he gets into the College Playoffs. Then as soon as they lose he will be back at it.
If he wins the whole thing he might take a couple weeks off.
That's who he is, that's why I believe 10 years is about all he will stay.
You can only do everything he does for a certain number of years.

Super interesting. Says a lot about Fran too. Love these pieces. Great job by the DO.

Yea he goes at a speed that is unfathomable. The problem with these guys is they burn themselves out but they also can’t handle not doing it. That’s why they sometimes take a year off and are right back into it. I could also see him retiring after 10 years and doing TV or charitable work. He’s very sincere about wanting to protect his daughter when she gets older.

He would be great at it.

The DO has consistently had some of the best coverage of SU sports to be found anywhere.

This is a shining example.

 

[Rautins07]

Just finished the article, what dedication and a bond that will last a lifetime, I hope Aaron finds his ultimate dream job, maybe with the Chiefs, if not, selfishly I hope they never leave Syracuse.

I truly believe Fran is going to do great things in life beyond football.

They really do and the people that are reporting and writing these articles, you never know who could be the next big star in the business nationally.

It’s awesome. Many on here for years described what they were looking for in a coach at Syracuse, and those attributes described matches exactly what Fran is delivering so far. It’s already about more than the football with Fran.

This is a MUST read.

Agreed. The DO has some of the best writers around - beat the Post Standard by a mile.

Totally agree on DO.

The writer will be at The Athletic very soon. Impressively written and a story well told.

Agree. Keep an eye out for Justin Girshon, who just got a summer jnternship with Golf magazine. He is going to be a senior next fall.

Here is one of his stories…..
