How would people rate Wildhack's and Syverud's tenure?

Wildhack finished strong.  Is well respected outside the Cuse community. Screwed up the Autry hiring (because he basically rolled over on the decision making).  Fran seems to be a win, as does FLJ, but Dino and Q didn't end well.  Lacrosse hirings seem fine but results underwhelming.  JMA Dome upgrades were long time coming.   I'd give him a C+ but if the next two hires go well (even though technically they are not his), and Football has a solid 8 or 9 game win season, I'd more him up to an A-.

Syverud.   A lot of you are a lot closer to the academic ranking situation than I am, but it appears it dropped.  I know the party rankings have dropped and there is a lot of development around campus.  Although a lot seems to be private student housing.  What's his biggest claim that he can be proud of?  Not sure, but in an era where a lot of Chancellors and Presidents ended up in trouble or fired due to how they have handled on campus protest issues, he basically kept Syracuse out of the news.  Plus, he parlayed himself into a seemingly better job.  For that alone, I give him a B-.
