Thamel gives some names

[Bulldog04]

Maybe unpopular here but I don’t believe in Bronco. I think he’s a better coach but will have a tough time succeeding compared to a Mullen. I’m fine with it but wouldn’t be over the moon about it. So many guys I would rather have

 

[boog7]

Bronco was DC at New Mexico under HC Rocky Long.

If...

HC - Bronco
DC - Long
OC - Beck

So it would basically be running it back swapping out Dino for Bronco.

Don't know if I like it but it would definitely do a lot for continuity and keeping the 3-3-5 D at SU. Is Bronco in and Dino out enough to increase the win totals? Probably. Would Orange Nation be excited about the hire? Maybe. But probably not.

 

[djorange1989]

Yeah. There was a new name that came up today too that might be the best candidate. SI Syracuse is worth the few bucks right now.

Wasn’t buying that one, seems out of our price range

 

[721Comstock]

Since we’re dreaming, can we include that LaNorris Sellers enters the portal, transfers here and is the starting QB next fall?

Nah.

IF we’re gonna dream, let’s dream of getting a guy like Drake Maye.

Somehow between the new coach and some big NIL, we draw an accomplished, experienced QB from the portal.

Who?

 

[djorange1989]

Who?

Sorry, premium stuff, it isn’t someone who makes sense. I honestly believe some names are floated as smokescreens or floated by agents of coaches

My main concern is lack of recruiting connections on the East Coast, his brief tenure at Virginia notwithstanding.

 

[GoSU96]

Could you imagine Rocky and Beck staying and we win 8/9 games. Ouch embarrassing for Dino.

Without the injuries Dino wins 8/9 games this year. Hell if just Schrader was healthy they finish on a 4-0 run.

Again, if Addazio is out at A&M, have him come here as AHC/OL. Keep the TE coach. There’s your regional recruiting.

 

[Mr. M]

I don’t think Diaz is all that bad a candidate personally.

Agree, he’s kind of like Golden. Both had mild success at Miami and both now DC’s at programs we could benefit from getting portal players to follow their coach.

This is how I feel it’s a whatever hire doesn’t get me too excited just business as usual

You got a link?

 

[Jack_Ball]

Bronco record 135-81 with his only losing season being his first year at Virginia. I think he would be great hire.

 

[Mr. M]

Agreed, and it’s tiring saying similar every single year. Bottom line is Dino didn’t recruit/develop the depth needed to combat the injuries which are inevitable and every other team deals with as well

 

[qdawgg]

Mullen's resume of success in the SEC makes him a significantly better candidate than anyone on the list. I don't think this is even debatable.

It is actually debatable. A guy winning with high quality recruits shows he can coach at the highest level. That’s not the same as coaching at SU. At SU you need to be able to manage staff with a limited budget, find recruits that you can see will develop long term, be able to develop players, find staff that can do all of those things and the list goes on and on.

So yeah, it is debatable. If you’re merely looking at records and where they came from, sure, not debatable. But there’s a lot more to coaching at SU. It’s looking at things at surface level and saying there’s no debate.

Did you see the VT game?

It is in the premium section on the Syracuse SI forum here is the link to the forum page. It really isn’t a big deal I think there are just names being tossed out there in some cases

FWIW a Nebraska fan said Rhule was speaking about San Diego st

I like how Rhule said “don’t go somewhere in which the expectations outweigh reality.” Nebraska is the epitome of that. Program has been washed up for years but they still expect to be in the CFP every year.

Next years schedule better win 8-9 games.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Nah.

IF we’re gonna dream, let’s dream of getting a guy like Drake Maye.

Somehow between the new coach and some big NIL, we draw an accomplished, experienced QB from the portal.

He was offered $5 million to transfer last year and he stayed at Carolina. He’s going to be the second pick in the draft.

I want to agree but the last twenty years makes me cautious.

Agree

Yeah but that’s different. Because, you know, that was the job Rhule himself took with a huge payday

Maybe the next coach will, I don’t know, make sure we have more than 1 QB and 1 WR who can play competent football

Other than he has spent most of his career in the Midwest, I wonder why Jerry Kill is not being mentioned. He is the turnaround king. All of his last four schools he's been a head coach at, he's turned our within three years Hell, New Mexico State, where he coaches now and was the worst FBS school in the nation 3-4 years ago, is now 9-3 with a beatdown of Auburn last weekend.
