Message: [QUOTE="Bayside44, post: 5548989, member: 343"] Fran and Manny Diaz mentioned in The Athletic today: [I]While there is no guarantee Kraft seeks out other candidates he has worked with before, some within the industry have flagged two possibilities: Duke head coach Manny Diaz and Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, though neither is having the type of season that screams for a big promotion. Brown is a former assistant at Temple under Rhule (and Kraft) and a New Jersey native with recruiting ties that would absolutely appeal to Penn State. The problem is the Orange have fallen off hard after winning 10 games in Brown’s first season. Syracuse is 3-5, having lost four straight since a win over Clemson in which the Orange lost quarterback Steve Angeli to a season-ending injury. Brown might have a bright future as a head coach, but a blue blood hiring him coming off a season that fails to even reach a bowl game could be a tough sell.[/I] [/QUOTE]
