Minnesota hiring Nick Monroe

[texascpa]

How do any of us know if he told Babers that we was interested in moving back closer to home and didn't want the DC job. Stranger things have happened.

That said, it looks like we're mid-major again.

 

[Trueblue25]

Don’t want to ruin your day but the program has been in huge trouble for 20 years.

There was opportunity to fix that at least

 

[cusefan88]

Please find someone that can recruit NY/NJ and Florida.

When does the portal close for good?

Play it like Cincy and take it in stride while looking for the next great hire. Seven years is a long time for someone to be at the same school... I think Boeheim may have given a huge chunk of this fanbase an unrealistic perception of loyalty and longevity in college sports.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Not to be that guy but the fanbase should understand where the program is at this point.

The current $$ race puts the B10 with a major advantage over most ACC schools save for maybe Clemson or Miami. It's why the ACC will eventually break up, schools cant compete when other conferences are getting 30 mill+ more a year.

Secondly people are acting like Brent Venables just bolted. I know people liked the whole Swag Daddy schtick but Monroe was vastly overrated by the board. People were acting like he was a recruiter on the level of Ed Orgeron or something. He did a nice job with the secondary the last few years but we had good secondary's long before he got here.

Third, Dino is at best 50/50 to be here beyond this season, coaches are going to bolt for security its a fact of the profession.

The portal never closes for good.

The portal never closes for good.

For this upcoming season

 

[Nahson]

Bottom Line , It’s crazy, 7-5 and 3 assistants gone.

Without injury, we may have only lost a game or 2 this year...

 

[Cuse181]

Good for him, he wanted to be a DC and Syracuse hired a seasoned veteran with tons of success over him. Good things don’t come free.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

When does the portal close for good?

We may need the kids from Stranger Things for that to happen.

 

[qdawgg]

so 3 top assistants. i get money, etc., but something else has to be going on to lose 3 in one season

We had a good season and schools with more $ noticed that.

 

[CuseLegacy]

For this upcoming season

For Fall sports the portal is open from 12/5 to 1/18. Then it reopens 5/1 to 5/15.

 

[Nahson]

Am I the only one that gets excited about this stuff, in a weird way? I'm excited to see who Dino hires to fill the vacancies. His hires the last few years have been fun and interesting. Rocky Long, Anae, Beck, White, Schmidt, excited to see where he goes from here.

I do think this point has a lot of merit. If we don't make a bowl next year I imagine Dino will be relieved of his duties and the assistants will be let go so it is better to ca$h in now than be left with so much uncertainty next off season.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Give me another bowl game. 6 wins.

 

[qdawgg]

Just hope we can hold onto our players.

 

[cusefan88]

How can we get Syracuse in the Big Ten?

That's a whole other thread.

Get in line behind umass.

 

[PAcuse]

I'm interested to see who from his coaching tree Rocky might bring to SU.

Agreed could be a huge win for us

 

[Bayside44]

OK. 1. Grob 2. not taking care of Monroe when you could have. If he still leaves, then at least you did what you could have. 3. Shaffer

Shafer being hired was far greater.

This guy was here for seven years. Coaches are nomads.

I think SU fans are generally spoiled by JB, the lax program, and even P and D and their long run here.

Clark Lea, Brian White, etc etc etc it's a miserable life, IMO.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

God we must really pay NOTHING

 

[PhatOrange]

I'm disappointed that Monroe is leaving but I'm not disappointed that we hired Rocky Long as the Defensive Coordinator. Babers was correct with that decision.
