Vince - all one syllable. Like since except with a VHow do we pronounce his name
Well playedVince - all one syllable. Like since except with a V
That’s kind of the fun mystery of following Syracuse being a private school. You really don’t know the resource pool exactly because they don’t have to report it, but you can basically tell by the moves on staff and players that your getting that the resources are improving. If we were out of the ballpark, we would have no chance.Love this! Don't know a thing other that we are headed up! Believe in Fran and Wildhack. Growth takes a minute. Be patient.
Next chancellorSo uh does this mean Scott Schafer isn’t coming back?
Looking at their depth chart, it looks very similar to ours from this year.I love the hire, but we don't have the personal to make a seamless change to the 3-3-5. Two LB's. Plus, you bring in 2 blue chip EDGE rushers. How do they fit into the 3-3-5? The scheme doesn't match the personnel right now. I realize this is a long-term move, but how long do successful asst coaches stay at schools these year. I thought Fran was interested in big lineman and track speed further away from the line? Will be interested to see what implemented and how the pieces fit. Other than that, outstanding hire.
Read the quote that Phil posted above, sounds like they played more of a hybrid recently.I love the hire, but we don't have the personal to make a seamless change to the 3-3-5. Two LB's.

So safe to say Kehres has never had the talent to work with that he will have at Syracuse including the 2 blue chip edge rushers and the big lineman. I would imagine he would add new wrinkles to his defenses that he essentially will have level of athletes he has never worked with before. Also, Fran has emphasized versatility in his recruiting, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some players in positions we didn’t expect. But that’s way above my expertise on how that will work lol.I love the hire, but we don't have the personal to make a seamless change to the 3-3-5. Two LB's.

Three linebackers helps Deslauriers. He’s made as a middle linebacker."Yes, Toledo's defense in recent years, including 2024, has been described as a hybrid using elements of both a 4-2-5 and a 3-3-5, often featuring three down linemen and three linebackers, but they can flex into different looks depending on personnel, classifying as multiple. While older sources mention a 3-3-5, their current scheme under DC Vince Kehres leans into Quarters coverage and hybrid looks, utilizing three linemen and three linebackers but with flexibility, making it a blend."
How do we pronounce his name
I think we saved nearly $1.5 million with Erob leaving. The head coach at Toledo only made $1.1 million.Looks like someone opened up the checkbook. Good. On paper can’t beat this hire.
If there’s anyone on the Toledo D he thinks is worth the jump, then bring them with you.
