Assuming he’s related to Greg?

best of luck to him - hopefully he doesn’t flop in this new position

Younger brother.

Played QB at UNC and William & Mary.

It’s ironic that Paulus has a love of SU athletics, but didn’t give SU much of a sniff when he was recruited for football.

Not really, if I had his opportunity i would get out of town too

It doesn’t seem to bother him now!

He sniffed GRob and got out of town.

I mean, welcome. But hopefully he can convince others to do what he wouldn't.

It’s amazing that people fail to understand that if kids didn’t leave their home town/state, that SU wouldn’t have D-1 athletics. Why should local kids be held to a different standard. Seem hypocritical?

Why would it be hard to convince other kids to experience something new and travel away from home for college

Will be interesting to see if he can have the same success as previous stops. MS is a poor state but the football factories down there never are lacking in funding. Also Annapolis for sure is another market with lots of wealth to tap into.

Ah finally a post about what his job will actually be. I agree about your comments about his previous stops. But at least he has some decent experience. Hopefully he can use that and make some headway.

Not every kid in the country grows up 5 minutes away from a Power 5 program.

In state kids are one thing. Backyard kids are another.

Oh gee another miserable local!

Cool. See if UNC is hiring too, then.

My daughter was at William & Mary when he played there. Superb place to go to school. Saw one game there when he played. W&M won...welcome home, Dr. Paulus...

 

[CA Monk]

So. He’s a doctor now. Van Nuys. Van Nuys.

What’s your acceptable radius. Frankly, I never understand kids wanting to go to college really close to home. (Economic and family reasons, excepted.)

 

[AngryOtto]

Probably wanted to be closer to family when he had an opportunity.
Was able to raise substantial money at his former jobs for athletics. Hopefully will have the same success at su.

 

[Timonen]

Agreed. Getting some distance from home was as valuable as anything I learned in class at syracuse. Always appreciate it when kids get out of their comfort zone.

 

[RoatanCuse]

If Gonzaga, N. Dakota State, Boise, etc. can recruit…….we should be able to, too.

 

[007]

I mean, welcome. But hopefully he can convince others to do what he wouldn't.

He wouldn't donate?

Or it just really wasn’t the right fit.

Jonny Damon went from the Red Sox to the Yanks. That’s the most sacrilegious thing I can think of, but all’s fair play in capitalism and freedom. (Sounds weirder than intended.)

Ditto Wade Boggs.

That an even better example. Good call.
