Wildhack Presser | Streaming 11 AM Monday

[OrangeXtreme]

Who is "Tommy" in the press field? He seems to ask good questions.

Great job with the microphones and showing who is asking the questions btw.

Tommy Sladek.

CNY Central.

 

[PhatOrange]

prior or current
"HC experience"
"P5 coordinator experience"

position coaches, "big leap"

 

[elimunelson]

Those guys can do screening. They know the candidate pool

Right and you don't want a George O'Leary situation again. Stolen Valor is embarassing as heck

Tommy Sladek. NBC sportscaster. Replaced Niko.

Big part of the excellent Orange Zone podcast.

 

[OmahaCuse]

I hate the fact we are using a firm.

You have to use a firm for HR reasons, It’s a CYA

 

[JackBauer44]

He seemed to emphasize P5 experience. Makes me think he’s not interested in going down the MAC route again.

 

[Franz69]

HC or coordinator experience needed, so that opens the door for White.

We all know why you're praising that handsome devil wait

 

[OrangeinBoston]

What with the search firm?

Really….

Come on. Turf it to the search firm to iron out the details. Jesus...

 

[PhatOrange]

No cold calls. People calling me about the opening. I received more calls yesterday in a single day than I've ever received since I've been here.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

He's setting this up to hire a local guy who is a HC in the northeast right now. Or was a HC in the northeast.

It's going to be Marrone, O'Brien, Chesney IMO.

Wouldn't Diaz, Golden, Cignetti, Addazio, Flood, Mullen fit as well? All have been HCs and all have recruited in the Northeast.

 

[ChrisCourt]

I'm in favor of a search firm. Let's get the right candidate for this position. Not just go and grab a guy just because.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Guess we can finally put to bed the "who wants to Coach at Syracuse" line. Per Wildhack had more calls yesterday with interest in the opening then he's ever had before in a single day since he's been at Syracuse.

 

[djorange1989]

I hate the fact we are using a firm.

Me too, they steer certain people to a school based on non-football reasons.

Tommy Wildhack or Tommy Devito

i'm purely spitballing obviously.

 

[Chip]

Yeah, you knew where I was going.

And I knew where you were going.

Did you also call? ;-)

 

[orangenauburn]

You win BC and GT, and we're not here. We're not having this conversation.

Or at least BC. I mean seriously what the heck

 

[tep624]

He seemed to emphasize P5 experience. Makes me think he’s not interested in going down the MAC route again.

Thank god.

 

[GoSU96]

"Its not a total reboot" The team has some strengths. I think that says a lot

It’s true.

 

[llandz]

I guess WIldhack did not go to Hawaii.
I wonder what coaches reached out to him yesterday.
I only saw half of the presser.
FYI I had a phone call from one players mother yesterday, I think he is good with everything, but there is concern.
I just texted the fiance of another player I am friendly with and she said the players are feeling good and positive for Saturday.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Did you also call? ;-)

Lol, maybe.

 

[Timonen]

The phrase that scares me is “strategic investments.” That’s buzzwordy for “not much to spend and need to make the most of it.” We know that’s the reality and it’s limiting…but so will the potential hires. The hire could be great but I would guess they won’t jump off the page as super exciting.

Its different from after Greg.

And we rushed after Doug left.

This time is different. It's not such an uphill climb and a lot of these candidates were around when we were a top 25 program, so in their eyes it can be done.
