I don’t expect many here will agree with me on this but I think out HC has been here in waiting the entire season.
Coaches in waiting are there but I do not think any current NFL staffer/coordinator is going to want to make a move to coach again in the college ranks knowing what Syracuse has in front of them, from players dropping out of the program to NIL and other things that will have to be addressed.
Coaching us to a win this past Saturday was no easy task with Shrader coming into the game just before it started and winning it with Villari and Allen. Campanile works well with Beck who should also be retained and we played a game that satisfied all of us. Rocky’s D played a part in us getting to six wins.
Campanile is young, experienced and knows Syracuse better than anyone out there hoping to be hired. I hope he’s being considered. What he and Beck did out together was great. We’ll see what happens.
He is also a great recruiter probably our best and has developed the N.J. pipeline beyond what it was for us before he got here. You want a head coach who goes out and recruits, you got him in Nunzio. And, he recruits the best from Bergen Catholic to Don Bosco and all the top schools in that state and the states important to us for recruiting from NY to the DMV and beyond. I think he'd make a great head coach. he doesn't mess around but comes right to the point and develops players. At this point who knows who it will be. My vote is for Nunzio.
I believe Nunzio Campanile could handle the job and do it well. I copy/pasted the following from cuse.com for those of you who aren’t familiar with his background. After watching what ha did vs. Wake there isn’t any doubt in my mind that he could be our next successful HC.
BIO
An experienced power five coach with strong ties to northeast recruiting, Nunzio Campanile was hired as Syracuse's new tight ends coach in January 2023. On Nov. 19, 2023 he was named interim head coach of the program.
Campanile joined the Orange after spending the past five seasons at Rutgers, serving in numerous roles including interim stints as head coach and offensive coordinator, but spent most of his time dedicated to the tight ends room.
A Paramus Catholic graduate with strong ties across New Jersey, Campanile was an accomplished high school coach before joining the Scarlet Knights, with stints at national powerhouses Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep.
Campanile joined Rutgers for the 2018 season as the running backs coach before pivoting to tight ends at the start of the 2019 campaign. He'd finish the year as the interim head coach and was the play caller for the final eight games of that season.
He returned to his post as tight ends coach at the start of 2020, where he remained through this past season until he added interim offensive coordinator and quarterbacks to his list of duties.
Campanile's most recent protégé was Rutgers' Johnny Langan. A converted quarterback, Langan racked up over 1,300 all-purpose yards in his career on the Banks, despite not moving to the position full time until the 2021 season. His 31 receptions were the second-highest mark on the team this season.
Campanile arrived at Rutgers after spending eight seasons as the head coach of Bergen Catholic, where he led the team to the 2017 state championship. One of the nation's elite high school programs, Campanile compiled a 60-28 record (.681), while leading the Crusaders.
He mentored seven all-state quarterbacks at Bergen Catholic, which averaged over 35 points per game and saw numerous prospects sign scholarship offers across the country during his tenure.
Before Bergen Catholic, he was the offensive coordinator at Don Bosco Prep from 2000-09, another one of the top football programs in the nation. The Ironmen won six state championships in his 10 seasons there, claiming the national title in 2009. In his time running the offense, Don Bosco recorded a 112-6 overall record.
He also previously served as the school's athletic director and wrestling coach, winning the 2010 Non-Public A state championship on the mat. He additionally worked as a history and physical education teacher.
Campanile comes from a football family, having played quarterback and safety for his father, Mike, at Paramus Catholic, before going on to play collegiately at Amherst College in 1995 and 1996, before transferring to Montclair State, where he graduated in 1999. His brothers, Vito (Bergen Catholic head coach), Nick (DePaul head coach) and Anthony (Miami Dolphins linebackers), also followed in their father's footsteps as football coaches.
