I am hearing out next coach is ...

[RMH44]

Not the old hack, he would say yesterday was far too macabre for him to squire the virtues of that young whiz bang from Eugene by way of Lincoln.

My guess is Brett "needs the"Axe.

I would guess, Nico. He's always been fair to the University.

Then our first P-S article/poll/click bait

Is the Coach Xxxxxx too old, too young, too white, too black to be successful here?

I hope they get his thoughts on kiss cam before hiring him.

 

[TexanMark]

This would best case ever! Here to recruit and be the nutcase that a DC needs to be but hopefully someone a little more cerebral when it comes to running a football program. My only doubt would be would an incoming HC want to have their DC named for them already? Love it though.

I think Frost/Orgeron is fantasy...

Is new Syracuse Coach Xxxxxx too old, too young, too white, too black to be successful here?

I refuse to go to their site or click on their links anymore. I used to go to their site numerous times per day years ago.

Things are certainly wild on here.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I sincerely hope that "is the guy using us as a stepping stone?" Doesn't factor into ADMCs calculus...like, at all.

Exactly - I have a better chance of waking up next to a super model in the next three days than that happening. Maybe ever 2 super models.

Honestly, I think that's what Lester was trying to do with the offense this year.

Teams with lesser talent, like Navy and Army, run the option.

That's exactly what he was trying to do, and sometimes it was pretty successful.

I can agree with part of that. Lester pretty much had a little of everything (hence the "multiple" moniker}. He had zone read, play action and some triple option. I think that was its downfall. We really weren't very good at any one thing. It seemed to me he was searching all season. In the beginning, we ran more pays from the double wing and then at the end very little (I did not see the BC game as it was blacked out here). That may account for the up and down O Line performance.

I don't think he ever figured it out, but defenses did. I understand that he was moving away from the heavy formation with two tight ends and was going to jettison it next year. Lester, to his credit was more willing to throw in the red zone and achieved considerable improvement there. However, that was about the only area we improved on offense.

 

[Cuse Action]

I have been wrong before. Could be wrong again. We shall see. My money on frost but I am not sold on Frost

You're not sold on Frost? You think you know more than people who have actually played and coached the game, and have been around football professionals for a number of years. You think posting on a fan forum gives you some special insights?

I agree now that Miles will be back at LSU but wouldn't mind a Frost/Daoust or Babers/Daoust combo.

 

[Finwad32]

Daoust is not staying in Syracuse

 

[Crusty]

Daoust is not staying in Syracuse

Too bad he is a good coach and I wish him well.

 

[GoSU96]

Daoust is not staying in Syracuse

Best thing for his career is go somewhere else and expand his network.

 

[cuseman404]

When should we hear something?

[Cuse Action]

If there weren't concerns they wouldn't be available

You honestly think he knows about those "concerns"? I don't.

 

[CuseGrad94]

me too that's why I loved it so!

 

[KaiserUEO]

Ummm ok.

I guess a board 1st is always acceptable.

I think...

Well...no.

Does gilardino have to be sold on Frost for him to come here or be successful?

 

[CuseOnly]

You honestly think he knows about those "concerns"? I don't.

Any layperson can have concerns. I have them and my first is that he has never run a program from top to bottom. As someone already said, nobody is a sure thing hire, nobody.

Amazing how little respect SU football gets - this is from the Washington Post just now. The second time in a week they have forgotten that SU is actually part of the ACC in a football article.

The move ends months of speculation as to London’s future as Virginia joins the dozen or so programs across the country hunting for head coaches, including South Carolina, Southern California and Maryland. Within the ACC alone, Miami fired Coach Al Golden earlier this season and Virginia Tech’s Franks Beamer is stepping down, rumored to be replaced by Memphis’s Justin Fuente.

 

[money3189]

Yeah, can someone name me coaches who are home run hires? That dont have any negatives? also have to be a realistic option. Even Jim Tressel would be a issue. Compliance wouldnt give him a chance with his track record.

 

[shantydaze]

Because they don't run it. Install the offense you want and then recruit for it

Making it up as you go to fit untalented players doesn't work

Coaches need to install a system that works with the players on the roster and evolve based on new recruits. The square peg in a round whole does not work and is sure way to get a coach fired before his first contract is up.

Mark, was it the "fantasy" or the "things are getting wild" reference that triggered this connection for you? A cigar is never just a cigar...

And the fact that 690 "liked" the post...

Lucky for me, I know you two!!
