Message: [QUOTE="MadNY3, post: 1204310, member: 441"] I think above all else he SHOULD and WILL be the head football coach of Syracuse University in 2015. [LIST] [*]He got to a Bowl game and won in year one [*]Recruiting seemingly is a little better [*]Injuries crucified this team in an unbelievable manner [*]The kids never seemed to quit from almost reports [*]It is nearly unheard of to can a coach after two years and not an awful track record OVERALL from DC to HC [*]Brand fit/PR wise, he's not a Bill Callahan at Nebraska or Rich Rod at Michigan; it's not a blatantly bad culture fit [/LIST] Further: [LIST] [*]New chancellor clearly has different objectives than Cantor and instituting a lot of change somewhat early on [*]Athletic Department unquestionably getting benchmarked and assessed, the appearance in front of the NCAAs putting further focus on this area I imagine [*]Gross was a Cantor hire; will he be around after June 30, 2015? And if not, wouldn't you want a new AD to be accountable to the football program then? [*]With the move into the ACC and influx of new $$$, bizarrely, the University can afford a year or two of the team not performing well versus the horrible timing of UCLOWN's football situation [/LIST] But regarding the quality of the product to my non-football eye: [LIST] [*]The product taunts even the staunchest of fans to watch it. Painful to watch. No way should this team be THIS bad and to have Pitt smoke us is as embarrassing as it gets [*]We are collectively going batsh!t on the decision to punt in the fourth quarter, but the bigger headline was how awful we were performance, coaching wise, especially on offense and special teams [*]This D loses A LOT next year. [*]Shafer has referenced ISIS in previous post game overviews and yesterday went on and on about all the injuries, quickly being followed up by ("that's not an excuse...") even though clearly, he was giving excuses [/LIST] So, I suspect: [LIST] [*]BC blows us out. If this was a Pitt performance after a week off, goodness for what next week will bring [*]Lester is the OC next year, George is long gone to become WR coach in the South and a dedicated ST coach arrives [*]Lots of offseason stuff about getting healthy, refocused on a "hardnosed approach", we will have an over-the-top hope/belief that Eduard is the answer and we will dare to have hope for 2015. Because, that's what we do. [*]A new AD will be sought. Outsider. [*]The guy that keeps bringing up the ACC Network and those damn "Whispers, whispers..." will drive me mad. [*]I suspect that we will be having the same discussion of what new head coaches we all want at this time next year and an increase in "Could Marrone or Hackett come back?" even though snowballs will survive hell in a more likely scenario. Because, you know, that's what we do. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
