And said...

He said "that could complicate that courtship if that's the way they go"

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Uh dino did it

Did he? Wasn't he hired the day after?

 

[HOFCeluck]

Uh dino did it

It was leaked but not official until after the game.

Man, I’m starting to think the same thing. Like do any of these hires move the needle?

Mike Elko just got the A&M gig. Not sure we’d be excited for him if he was our guy. My point, not sure of any name we could get that would have made people jump for joy.

 

[RandomGuy]

Can we absorb being a mediocre football team and lose money? Will that help the other sports we have? How many programs have to be slashed eventually for people to realize the big picture

We'll just start losing more and more $$. Big 10 schools could get $100M per, after 2030. We'll get 1/4 of that, but to save a few schools, they might funnel more $$ to them. We'll be left behind. Seems inevitable without a winning product. That requires $$$ to have. We'll never spend it, and then we'll be broke. Ohh well

It’s also important to mention that they did ask about Mullen and Pete just kind of shrugged it off that he wasn’t a serious candidate.

 

[Tango32]

God people we moved to a triple option in year 8, all the guy has to do is have a backup qb and he is already better.

And have more sideline emotion than a dead guy

Mullen I was excited about, white would also have been exciting not my first pick but someone who at least knows the players and has relationships here

Still doable. Scott frost coached after accepting the nebraska job

Elko did more, with less, than any other coach. Would have loved him. More than Mullen.

Yep.

Syracuse hires Bowling Green's Dino Babers as coach

Bowling Green coach Dino Babers has accepted the same position at Syracuse.

Glad Pete is mostly back in the board’s good graces.

I’d read he was a horrible person because his goggles weren’t Orange enough and his pom-pons not shaken often enough.

Perhaps yet another difference from a random blogger or an unhinged poster.

Acting like a journalist. Go figure.

I understand we have budgets and we have to be careful but it seems like we are downgrading from previous hires. Idk how any of these remaining candidates move the needle and we are losing players like flies right now

 

[wfschrec]

Honestly has there ever been an example of flight tracker speculation actually panning out?

Only when Elon was doxxed

 

[qdawgg]

It still will be november

LOL, I was typing fast and was thinking November was 2 months ago...

Which will make it tougher to win. And then tougher to recruit, which makes it harder to win... and on an on...

 

[Newhouser]

The disappointment over the assumed finalists amazes me. Who are we getting? We are not an attractive job. Fact of the matter is if Wildhack makes the right choice he will have to do it all over again in a few years because his choice will have moved up.

I'm laughing a lot about a lot of things in these threads, but this is magnificent.

It’s funny because it reads like hyperbole but it actually is objective truth.

I still side eye him.

Just cuz.

It’s a list that he put together so he has to be accountable for it. I like JW but I just don’t see how any of these guys gets the fan base excited about our football program in the future I hope I’m wrong

Beat me to it. That annoyed tf out of me.

 

[CousCuse]

You believe that the Board of Directors and the President of the University should lose their jobs based on the selection of a FOOTBALL COACH? One of the most detached-from-reality things I've ever read on this board.

If they get this right and Syracuse gets back to being a respected program, they would be in the queue to get an invitation into the B1G which would be huge for academic relationships with the schools in that conference let alone the revenue to fund the athletic department. If it is a bad pick, SU will join the ranks of the relegated.

When did that happen?
