Maybe Colgate and Army can be major players as well.  Times, they are and have changed...I understand the past ties to northeastern football but to me a lot of that nostalgic past is gone forever like the iceman coming to your house.

As for a coach,  I like what SU has as a HC as long as he continues to grow and doesn't do the "I smashed into the wall yesterday and didn't get through it, maybe if I change my shoes it'll work this time"  kind of thinking.   There's believing in something and then there is believing in something.  In other words, you have your beliefs and you stick to them even if you're going into the depths of hell or you can recognize what's happening and adjust/tweak.     Some coaches just can not fathom that their crap just ain't going to work and just never get it.  Or, it did work earlier but just have never been effective since but continue to use it.  The best coaches adjust and learn, especially from failure...I'm very curious in seeing if SS is that kind of coach.

To me, HCSS's core is very good.  Now, if he continues to grow as a coach and can recognize aspects that work and those that don't...I think we'll be fine.  We don't need some flash in the pan idea but that being said, we also don't need a guy that's scared to make a mistake or go for that big plus.  Estime comes to mind for me.  Desire catches the ball and is decent at running the ball back but Estime is a game breaker.  Desire catches difficult kicks and doesn't let the ball roll 5 to 15 yards so as SS said "It's like gaining that yardage" but Estime could snap off a long run or TD.  This is where I find out a bit of who SS is and might be in the future.  Go for it, or play it safe.
