Message: [QUOTE="IHeartSUFball, post: 121141, member: 100"] this is the messed up thing about this all Coach P got fired for 6-7 win seasons. However, now and I would say 85% of the fanbase would take that for Syracuse Football nowadays. This is my team and the program I support more then any other sport and would love to consistently get a 9-10 win season every year. However, being realistic and how college atheltics is changing I'd take 6-7 wins spinkled in with a 9 win season every couple of years and that would suit me just fine. Our program would be relevant and hopefully we can notch a few big wins under marrone (florida st, clemson, notre dame, penn st) We will be playing these teams consistently for years. Next year is a very telling year like it or not. If we win 3 games I can't see Marrone here, and I want Marrone here 20 years, but those are the facts and cold harsh reality of college athletics. This may not make sense to a lot of you, but I see us an "Iowa" type program. We will be good for 7 wins every year and then once and awhile we have a magicial season. We have a coach that will be here a long time (Marrone to Ferentez) and we both are college towns that crave a winning football program. I don't care what anyone says this town is a FOOTBALL town and 80% of our fans are fairweather, but the sport that drives the sports bus is FOOTBALL. I don't see Gross not making some sort of announcement about future plans for a football facility. Recruits need to see we are heading in the right direction, the football fan base needs their spirits raised and we want to know that Syracuse football will not be down forever. I know Gross and Cantor are yearning for this football program and trying their damndest to get us relevant. The end justifies the means and in this case next year is one of the biggest in the last century of SU football to see where we stand. [/QUOTE]
