Thamel gives some names

[bnoro]

Phil Longo is very interesting. Even without HC experience he is worth a good look. He is the kind of fresh face I could support.

Why would we hire a guy that is averaging 22 ppg for Wisconsin this year? Absolutely not.

Is that your only criteria? You realize they are changing everything.

Here are 5 candidates who Wildhack should consider

1 Bill O’Brien - NE Patriots
2 Jason Candle - Toledo
3. Liam Coen Kentucky
4. Mark DeLeone - Kansas
5. Michael Hart - UMichigan

Why do you keep trying to push Mark Deleone and Mike Hart? Based on JW's criteria, they have no chance, nor should they.

It's not. But if we're hiring a coordinator for a head coach position they should be exceptional at what they are doing.

He's under the Ferentz line!

There is no one there that is a please God no hire

I’m kinda surprised Tony White & Sean Lewis not mentioned/included.

But yeah - it’s not like a list made up of:

Schiano/Ash/Flood/Edsall/etc.

How does Candle have Northeast roots? Pretty much his entire roster is Ohio and Florida. It would be nice to have an Ohio connection. But I didn't notice a single kid he pulled from a Northeastern HS. He did have a kid from NYC via Rutgers. I am pro Candle but you don't take him for the Northeast connection.

Don't know how I feel about Bronco. He kind of seems like a weird dude. I think he is a good HC, but he doesn't seem like a fit. Also, he hasn't had to deal with the portal or NIL yet.

Thamel referred to Candle as Northeast adjacent.

 

[Chip]

That’s as good as the Damian Rhodes interest

Maybe I’ll throw my hat in the ring, just as good a chance

And we'll say 'Big Syracuse football news' when we tweet about it.

 

[sutomcat]

Scratch one candidate…

This is actually not a bad list at all. I would prefer some over others but all worthy of a chance here in my opinion.

 

[NKR1978]

We don’t want Flood because we saw what he did at Rutty after Schiano left. But if you took his resume, blanked out his name, and swapped Rutty for let’s say VA or NC State, I bet people here would be creaming their pants for him

His record at Rutgers wasn’t abysmal, especially when you consider the transition from the Big East to B1G. That was a big step up.

 

[texascpa]

I would probably quit Syracuse Football if we hired Flood. Absolutely no way I would be on board with that. Recall, he had that scandal of trying to get a professor to change a grade, including meeting up with the professor in normal clothing to prevent public detection and emailing from his personal email so it wouldn't be public information.

 

[CIL]

There is no indication that Lewis can have a functional OL and keep his QB upright. It is a big reason why he was demoted.

Who says he can’t? At Kent St they were top half in sacks allowed per game 2 of the last 3 years. They were near the bottom of the pack a few years ago when they played Oklahoma, Georgia, and Washington during the season.

Since Sean’s demotion Colorado has given up 8 sacks in the last two games…hint, the issue ain’t Sean.

He’s extremely respected in the coaching community and still a hot commodity.

Thamel referred to Candle as Northeast adjacent.

And I thought Wildhack mentioned Schwartzwalder and him being from West Virginia. He’s wasn’t actually defining the northeast in a geographic sense as in Pennsylvania to Maine. It was more in a regional sense of culture. That was my read anyways.

Yes... Hard "No" on a Rutgers flunkie.

Grasping at straws. This thing is under wraps. One of those guys may very well be our next coach, but the folks that usually know something (that I know) have no clue.

And I think that’s a good thing.

But to be fair Thamel broke the Dino firing so someone is talking to him before official statements.

It could have been Dino. In that case Dino wouldn’t know the next HC.

That is fair it could have been Dino but Thamel also hit on most of the names we are talking about. Unless he is reading the message board also

 

[orangenauburn]

If those are the names he put out there then more likely than not it's one of those five.

And of those five you can eliminate a couple based off Johns comments from the presser you can probably whittle it down further

I mean, if our coach is gonna cheat, I hope he does everything he can to not get caught.

I’m trying to temper my expectations because I think it could still be a name not really being thrown around that everyone is like, ummm. Don’t mean a bad hire, just one people didn’t expect and have to convince themselves it’s a good choice.
