Rob Konrad - shots fired

[Frozen]

Fran said that not only were he and GD fairly close, but their wives speak to each other to this day. So I’m not sure what Konrad is on about.

 

[Acesn8s]

All I take from it is Rob should lay off the bottle, or he needs to get the stick out of his arse, no recruit will be bothered by this, but Syracuse has never seen this kind of momentum, we don’t need anything messing it up now.

Isn’t he also one of the “greats” who said NO to giving Tucker #44? Guy seems to be all about himself and what he wants.

If he’s blocking 44 being worn again him after this.

This. All of this. He thinks he owns that number. Of everyone that wore it he is not even in the top 5.

I screenshotted it and will reference every time he wants to be relevant. I used to respect the man but the last year he has done so much damage to his own image.

Sounds like Rob wanted a coach that would bring back the FB position (Addazio) lol. In all seriousness, his comments makes no sense. Fran wants alums back and involved. He is trying to tap into the past and Rob has been critical of other coaches who havent done that. So what's the problem? Fran thinks highly of Deleone PP and Addazio and wants to bring SU back to when they were winning with those guys. That's bad how?

He said "keep George name out your mouth' as if he was saying bad things about him. Fran was the opposite. He praised George and said he played a major role in his development as a coach. What am I missing? It just sounds like Rob expected SU to allow him to pick the coach. Now he is bitter about it. He will get over it.

Might be mad Fran didn't hire Steve

How would he be "blocking 44 being worn again"?

Fran should unretire the number just to spite him and reference this slop if there is any pushback. Offer it to LQA publicly.

Well - Rob just personified the “nothing good happens after midnight” saying. Hopefully he learns from it. I suspect by tagging Pete Thamel of all people he will.

I thought it was Floyd’s widow that stopped it being unretired for Sean. I have no inside knowledge just that it’s beyond ridiculous none of our RBs can wear it.

 

[CuseGrad94]

I didn’t get a chance to see it, but it sucks that “we do this to ourselves”. I mean a mid 40’s, alum, successful businessman, taking to Twitter at 3am? You can’t make this crap up. Grow up, make a phone call to ADJW if you have a problem. Grow the….up.

 

[Ringostar57]

I'll take a Brent Ziegler before I take a SOFT Konrad. Kick in a half dozen fullbacks ahead of him. Overhyped "talent"

I’m pretty sure Konrad had a tweet or statement around that same time about not being supportive of unretiring the number too.

Floyd is a legend. I don’t think I’d even retire Rob’s jersey. Good player but not on the same planet as Floyd.

 

[SmilinBob]

Interesting. Do you guys remember that media guy asking Fran where he sat? Thought it was a very odd question. Putting that together with what Conrad wrote makes one wonder...hmmm.

Aqua man goes of the deep end. Natural shark repellant. Thought that swimming with dolphins makes you nicer.

Guess one can see where Dino was coming from with keeping some of this beyond arms length

bottom 3 in 44 history

I don’t know what RK wrote, but I do know that there isn’t a recruit alive who knows who he is or gives a crap what he has to say.

In closing, he should either give money or shut the hell up.

 

[cusefan88]

Last things I'll say here: Konrad has a lot of apologizing to do next week considering all the players and alumni he'll see in his neighborhood with the bowl game in town.

I can’t imagine any of the non 44 alumni like him holding the number hostage either. Pushing for it to be unretired should be his penance for this.

 

[dollarbill44]

Take him off the 44 committee

Seriously. People are worried that giving out 44 to a current player/recruit might tarnish the legacy.

Someone please close this thread.

Another example to long for the days when you could say something stupid and have it fade away minutes later. Thanks to the web and especially social media, your dumbass moments are eternal.

And I guarantee we’ve all had dumbass moments!

None that I can remember!

The next day is always the worst. I've been there (far too often).

He could have “said” anything he wanted. He chose to post it online.

A grown adult tweeting like a petulant teenager, apparently.

He bought the ticket, he can take the ride.
