I'm not so sure that Adkins wasn't our best recruiter and if he stays that would certainly ease the transition.  ZA may be the highest ranked qb since McNabb, not sure but you could be right.  Yes, the timing was bad, really bad.
 
Talk is talk and it's also cheap and easy to do.  I enjoyed SS's press conference and passion while that said my hope and the read I have is that we have a good man at the helm for the football team that we root for.  He has been punched in the nose but from what I've heard it's a damn hard nose so he can take it.  I have a habit of looking around the dome during games and watching staff/players when others are looking at the ball to see how they handle adversity and I know this isn't some scientific proven study but you see what a coach has, especially when things go wrong and I've watched SS and he keeps his cool.  We saw passion but when things are happening you need the guy at the helm to in charge and not losing it...I think we have that in HCSS.
 
It is a step or two back, no doubt.  What is really going to matter is how the team responds and not only that what staff he puts together and how they respond to failure, to many other things like recruiting/teaching/motivating and so on.    Like SS said, we want people that want to be here and if he does hire a staff that wants to be here along with any of those who stay, I think we will have a lot of good things happen to Syracuse University football.   
 
But that's just my talk and opinion.  I will back it up by going to the games, supporting the team, showing up before they come out of the tunnel and being as loud as I can when the other team has the ball.
