Minnesota hiring Nick Monroe

[orangepassion]

The B1G is the devil.

Hope this is not final and we are able to retain Nick.

When Thamel comes out w/ these things, it's generally all but done. Would love to be wrong. And I was finally starting to feel good after Alford pulled his name out of the portal. We now lost our 2 best recruiters.

 

[djorange1989]

Oh lord

 

[Chip]

Perhaps we should wait until he withdraws his name from the portal before commenting?

 

[Trueblue25]

Pull Weitsman’s offer! Stop that moving truck!

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Yeah I think it's safe to say Nick wanted the DC position now and didn't get it

 

[anomander]

The gap is widening

 

[Biaxtar]

All my optimism for next year is gone. Yipee!

 

[RF2044]

NOW THAT FREAKING SUCKS

Yup...

 

[JackBauer44]

IMO - worst news of the year. We better be out looking for the best recruiter we have, because now, we don’t have any.

I would have given Nick the DC role if I knew there was an inkling of this.

 

[CbusCuse]

Damn. Guess they were really impressed with our Defense in the bowl game. Ugh. They even gave him a promotion to co DC and corners. Son of a... Maybe he comes back to Syracuse to run it after Long leaves but we'd probably have to match money. Don't like this at all.

 

[Trueblue25]

Think our next assistant hire will show us exactly how serious this AD intends to be about the growing issue of being a bubble school in this realignment conflict

 

[Tango32]

Jesus, at this point Rocky just needs to hand Dino a spreadsheet of names numbers and addresses

 

[cusefan88]

Big Ten just has more money to throw at coaches. It's an ACC problem outside of Clemson, FSU, Miami

 

[CbusCuse]

Wonder if it as at all possible We count with a raiseand a promotion to the same position, Co defensive cordinator and safeties coach?

 

[cali315phan]

We're a feeder program for the bigger conferences now. Awful, awful offseason no matter how much lip stick you put on this pig.

 

[orange_in_VA]

We should have given him the DC job. It was time, imo. This sucks

I think the i$$ue isn't the title per say.

 

[rrlbees]

Give West safeties along with DBs. But then have to hire the best recruiter we can.

 

[CbusCuse]

Guess it wasn't a good idea to have him coach as the DC in the bowl game. Ugh.

 

[David321]

Of particular concern now is the transfer and recruitment ramifications from this.

 

[NYCCuse826]

Yeah I think it's safe to say Nick wanted the DC position now and didn't get it

Interviews and offers don't happen this quick. These conversations were already happening.

 

[AAM62]

Ok this deserves some outrage (the Alford thread was ridiculous). He was here for 7 years so I get it.

 

[CbusCuse]

I think the i$$ue isn't the title per say.

I think Monroe was really happy with what we were doing and where he was here. Was going to be under Rocky for a little and learn. But when Minnesotta, a team from his home state that is also in the BIG gives him an opportunity right now as co-DC, how do you not take it? Hope we counter somehow.

My enthusiasm is completely gone.

We’ll never be good. The second we show any signs of becoming good, our good players and coaches get snatched.

Yah this has really been fun lately ... watching our players and coaches get poached one by one.
