His ability in fundraising and recruiting makes him special in an era where that is a majority of what makes a team successful.  His energy and attention to detail in managing a program seems worlds better than what we had previously.  It's shocking how short his learning curve seemed to be considering he was a POSITION coach before coming to Syracuse.

I am not entirely sold on in game coaching, which would be my hold up on a massive extension. Nixon has done a great job with the offense, but the defense, even with the apparent talent upgrade, hasn't been good.

Still, the team improved through the year last year faster than our rivals, and we had a great first season.  Sometimes, taking a big bet early saves you a lot of money in the long run...

Reports are that Fran Brown is paid $4million a season right now. Would he take a 10 year, $55 million contract right now (with an insane buyout or other poison pills to actually lock him down at Syracuse), full knowing he might be offered a 6/$60 million next offseason from an SEC team [B][I]if[/I][/B] he can keep this ball rolling?  Financial security and generational wealth are hard to turn down, but that's a big delta if he decides to roll the dice and wins...
