This is what impressed me with Fran Brown.  We get our 6th win and the media and everyone was like oh my god! You got to a bowl game and probably will get 7 wins with UConn your first season How do you feel?

He laughed at them and said who cares, a crappy bowl is not what we are.  We are a top 25 playoff team and that is the goal.  Everyone in the media and most of us laughed at him and said yea right ok dude, this is Syracuse Football and it's November.

Fran and his coaches and his players weren't laughing then but they will be laughing after they wreck Washington on FOX and get that 10th win.  I'm sure they're hurting for our hoops team but I bet some of the older guys that started under Dino are seeing the differences between a coach aiming for mediocrity and a coach aiming for the return to being top program.

Meanwhile Autry is over here in pressers talking about finding a Guard that can dribble and getting the starting lineup wrong before the games.  He is aiming his players and himself toward mediocrity or at best trying to even see the bubble.  Not a return to what we should be.

I fully admit I was wrong on Autry.  We all need to just remember some people are meant to be players and in the background.  They aren't meant for The Big Chair.  When the dust settles we just have to tell ourselves it wasn't personal, this is business.
