Beyond SU being a great school and a fun place to spend 4-5 years,h ere is what we offer the next head coach. Note than many of these were NOT in place for the hires of G.Rob/Gerg, Marrone or Scott Shafer:
The Atlantic Coast Conference
The Atlantic Coast Conference
- Power 5 – Access to bowls and CFB Playoff
- Often less rigorous path to success than job in SEC or the B1G
- Chancellor (Kent), AD (Coyle)
- Both are in the early stages of their tenures in Syracuse
- Both have visions of making Syracuse University great and national again
- Last time it was new, after a short bit of lag time, we won consistently for 15-20 years.
- Shows commitment
- All are down right now with perhaps the exception of Pitt, who I don’t expect to win 9-10 games every year.
- Programs down: BC (biblically bad offense), Maryland (good season will be 4th place in B1G East), Penn State (in a lull, Franklin stinks and won’t be the head coach for much longer there), Rutgers (no HC, the worst AD ever, serious $$$ deficit, plight in B1G East), UConn (HC is a dork, little talent, AAC), West Virginia (the B12 move was necessary, but they hate it, Holgerson wants to leave).
