Ok you lost meI know this is bad bad bad but I'm curious. I would love to read it and be able to shrug it off as nothing so that I can continue to be extremely enthusiastic in support of him
Go Orange!
If I remember correctly we had Duce and Rutgers had Cinco, and Duce and Cuse fans were trying to get Cinco to decommit from there and come here.
And Fran chimed in that if he wanted Duce, he'd have Duce, something to that effect.
Its going to be a fun 3 - 20 years.Yes I remember this.
meh a nothing burger as they sayYes I remember this.
So even back then, Fran knew Syracuse was a better place to be.If I remember correctly we had Duce and Rutgers had Cinco, and Duce and Cuse fans were trying to get Cinco to decommit from there and come here.

I was reading the Buttgers board yesterday... they generally think Fran will be a positve or negative risk/reward hire depending on who he puts around himself in terms of coordinators/assistants.
Good split on potential success vs. failure...
A bunch saying he won't get good enough coordinators and assistants, will fail, and that we're like the Hafley situation at BC and that we would have hired Chesney first, but he likely told us "no" holding out for the BC job. Those types also saying Brown's recruiting prowess won't go very far when trying to convince recruits on going to "Siberiacuse" and that recruiting has to be "national" approach for 2nd tier schools like us, Rutgers, etc. in the NIL era.
Others are genuinely fearful he's gonna eat Schady's lunch on the recruiting trail and that if he gets solid coordinators/assistants they are in big trouble with regards to regional recruiting.
meh a nothing burger as they say
I don't pay attention to recruiting , I am just curiousmeh a nothing burger as they say
Or like that time you married a womanI bet it wasn't at the time, but things change when they're on your side.
Like me rooting for Wade Boggs in 1996. Would never have thought that possible.
Probably for the betterI don't pay attention to recruiting , I am just curious
Clark was having some serious 2nd thoughts about Rutgers as we were in his ear (as well as Duce) and he was listening so Fran got word and tweeted something along the lines of (Not exact quote)
“Stay away from 5 or I’ll come take 2 as well”
He later deleted it. It really wasn’t that bad and more funny as 5 ended up joing 2 a year later.
That's pretty much it exactly.
I'd never seen a coach petty enough to post that kind of threat on Twitter. Reeked of insecurity then and still does now. You expect a coach to be above that.
What if he gets a pad with a fireplace?If he mentions “chopping wood” even once, I’m outta here.
