Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5529571, member: 27"] This. And something Fran said when he was hired. Said when he visited Syracuse to interview, he asked to be take to the worst neighborhood in the city of Syracuse. He saw [I]Syracuse[/I] had the same type of neighborhoods he grew up in Camden. Said that clinched things for him. He knew then he was meant to coach at Syracuse. He wants to put a strong focus on the worst neighborhoods, spend time there and show people there there is reason for hope and a way out. I have been to State College. The pastures and the farms are nice but it doesn’t look remotely like Camden. It just isn’t a good fit for Fran and what his priorities are. He might leave Syracuse someday for a place like Rutgers or Maryland or Michigan but I don’t think he goes to Penn State. It is a great job but it isn’t what Fran is looking for. [/QUOTE]
