Thamel gives some names

[bnoro]

The thing with Chesney is that he has been recruiting all the big northeast schools already. The coaches know him. It would obviously be a huge step-up in terms of talent acquisition and athletes.

Exactly. And he is young, hungry, and upcoming. Not a coach on the way down that has nothing else to prove. Need a guy that is going to go above and beyond to land recruits and not just go through the motions.

Name one time when a HC left a job, returned to same job and it turned out better the 2nd time around? I’ll shut up if you can provide an example.

Mack Brown

He is an excellent choice

 

[bnoro]

Bronco Mendenhall please

Or Cignetti

Or Coen

Or Austin

Some great names in this list, which is why you fire now, as opposed to later.

Austin would be a disaster. Steelers fans would be celebrating if he left

Yep and develop develop develop

Marrone left because of facilities and lack of commitment in the program. That’s changed in 10 years. We aren’t Bama but we’ve made strides in the right direction. And with NIL and the portal, it’s more like the pros.

Marrone left because his senior QB was graduating and he had no one in the bullpen.

Hunt was serviceable

 

[rrlbees]

From Thamels list I think I’d lean towards Bronco.

Dino would have left after his first season if he was like Doug

 

[djorange1989]

I keep thinking White, JW is a huge fan and unless there is some bidding war with someone, he is affordable and would enable us to spend more on his staff

Mack Brown is doing a good job returning to UNC.

I wonder if he would he retain Rocky if he were the choice?

 

[money3189]

Tony White is intriguing if he can assemble a great offensive staff

 

[sufan59]

I think it’s going to be Sean Lewis.

 

[Bayside44]

Uh no. Keen use of portal. I live here. These kids aren’t local. We have a better gig. Better league. Unique home environment We r the only game in town. perfect weather for 7 games. light up the dome make them defend the whole field.

He has 46 or so in state kids. I'm boring enough that I counted it up. Then tack on some Maryland recruits.

We can pay him a lot more, that's for sure.

 

[Stern]

Teryl Austin and Liam Cohen would scare me some. NFL guys primarily and it would be a big learning on the job with them in a transition to college. I know Liam has been at Kentucky on and off at some smaller schools early in his career but, not in a head coach capacity.

Was hoping the guy from Liberty would be on a short list

 

[djorange1989]

Yeah besides his lack of HC experience he is an excellent candidate, with that caveat that you mention. Tony develops unheralded kids and we need that so badly, would need that on the offensive side obviously if he is hired

Chadwell makes Dino money he isn’t coming here

 

[Acesn8s]

I mentioned Manny Diaz before but if not him I would like to see a coordinator from a big program in this day and age when NIl an transfers get a guy who is around big time recruits who maybe just dont see the field at Ohio state or Notre Dame. We are going to have a mass exodus and going to have to hit the portal like no time before.

Schiano

 

[djorange1989]

I think Rocky will retire. Guessing Gonzales from New Mexico, he will likely be fired as HC but a very good 3-3-5 DC

 

[Cusefan69]

If donors helped with the buyout, I wonder if they are also willing to add a few bucks into the mix for the hire.

 

[OrangeFreek]

Why would a head coach leave a Big 12 program to come to Syracuse?

Because we are awesome!! I don’t onow i just got a little excited .. ill put myself in the corner now

 

[Jake]

Heard a rumor that would make the Chris Ash thread look like a blip on the screen. Won’t post it to save my source, but good God it would be horrible.

 

[phil77]

For all of us who aren't plugged in or with sources just look at the track record of the people saying White. For the most part, these are the same people who were saying AA for the basketball side when all of us were calling for a national search. So it looks like it will be White unfortunately
