Maac coach of the year. Best rated defense in division one last season. Ran a winning program. People are disappointed by this?
I’m not savvy enough to know what assistants would be awesome, but some candidates “pull out” when they know they have not gotten the job to save face.I thought this was supposed to be an extremely attractive position?? It's a little disappointing and off-putting that not many more big names are jumping at the bit to come to the winningest program. All of the names that I wanted, have pulled out. Weird. To say I'm annoyed would be an understatement.

No. Just want to make it clear that i'm not disappointed by Odierna being the favourite. Just disappointed in the fact that I thought more big names would be interested in the position. And several of the candidates I wanted the job have pulled out.Maac coach of the year. Best rated defense in division one last season. Ran a winning program. People are disappointed by this?
Could be a possibility since at least one of the two showed up for an interview here recently. They were at least somewhat interested if they agreed to an interview.I’m not savvy enough to know what assistants would be awesome, but some candidates “pull out” when they know they have not gotten the job to save face.
Not saying this is the case here. Just doubt everyone really did withdraw.
Speaking more psychologically than anything, the program is barely removed from hiring two GOATs from their playing days and guys that were a part of a ton of rings. Then a sudden move happens unexpectedly late in the game, is immediately followed by Brent Axe rumors that the top candidates were the top assistants and followed by Tweets that makes it seem "everyone" is withdrawing (which I maintain is likely not the case.)I think some of this is driven by that initial list that was leaked that included a bunch of high profile names that were, in a word, ambitious. It sounds like some were legitimate (Caputo, Stevens, Crane) but some clearly were not (Wellner, Amplo). I wonder if that list didn’t come out if people would feel less let down?
If the new coach really turns out to be Odierna, I can understand how some others may have pulled out. It is a high risk, high reward roll of the dice to coach at Cuse at any time let alone now. With questions about Gait's coaching abilities (fair or unfair), the pressure cooker of Cuse alumni, local media and national media etc., taking this job could derail a currently successful coach and label him a loser for the rest of his career.I thought this was supposed to be an extremely attractive position??

As for Unterstein, his current gig with the Atlas has been ugly. The defense has simply been horrible which seems hard to understand given the talent level on the Atlas let alone the talent on every PLL team.
Not sure it’s fair to look at the PLL results. They don’t practice every day or have offseason practices/scrimmages. It’s just not the same as college.If the new coach really turns out to be Odierna, I can understand how some others may have pulled out.

Are you calling me dumb?the one thing im now hearing that is a little different from the college crosse commission tweet is that caputo's interest was basically one sided all along. i dont know that he pulled out so much as he was only ever loosely involved...
the stevens news is true though. he was in, but now he's out
odierna is the heavy favorite now. if they lose him then its back to the drawing board
looking at pll results to evaluate a college coach is dumb for a variety of reasons especially when that coach's COLLEGE defense was very good recently. unterstein would be a good hire but it doesnt sound like hes part of the process
Sounds like Stevens used Syracuse to leverage more money from Cornell.
Odierna has been head coach for one season for Manhattan after being DC for 7 years. Defensive numbers were good but against MAAC level competition. Seems to have a good reputation whatever that means.the one thing im now hearing that is a little different from the college crosse commission tweet is that caputo's interest was basically one sided all along. i dont know that he pulled out so much as he was only ever loosely involved...

Yes against MAAC level but also with MAAC talent on his D. That's why I never really look at the level they coach just at there coaching ability. He did well with MAAC talent against MAAC comp. If that's the case he should do well agajnst ACC comp as long as he has ACC talent to work with. I think he will with Fig back except for SSDM. Which unfortunately no matter how good ur poles are it won't matter if ur very weak at SSDM. This kid Titus is so important to how next yrs defense will be. If he's just as a good in the ACC as he was in D 3 then him and Carter will be a solid line. If he struggles some with the huge jump in level of talent he's facing then the D is in trouble. Especially if Trujillo doesn't take the next step next season because the 2nd line with Rosa is already the biggest weak link on the D. Love Rosa but he's just not fast and athletic enough to play SSDM. From what i hear speed and athletic ability should not be an issue for Titus so then he definitely should be able to adapt to the jump in comp. I do think Petro was loyal to Rosa maybe going back to his playing days with Rosa dad so maybe the new coach just plays Rosa on man down and grabs somebody who might not get much PT and asks them to switch from a pole to a short stick.Odierna has been head coach for one season for Manhattan after being DC for 7 years.

Think you are spot on here. It will help that we have a guy like Stevens on the wings so Titus and Rice are not getting as much additional fatigue playing that spot. Those two our in for an intense season. If we can get Trujillo and one other guy to step up then we should be passable there. Rosa on mostly man down and wings is ideal. Still wonder if we will get a little creative with Stevens and English and try at least some two way with them. The massive depth at pole now is certainly a plusYes against MAAC level but also with MAAC talent on his D. That's why I never really look at the level they coach just at there coaching ability.

LinkedIn shows him with an internship in Stamford (probably commuting out from NYC). Not definitive if he's going back to school or not.FWIW, it looks like Rosa's instagram's bio just says "NYC". Makes me think he is no longer at SU but who knows for sure.
