That would be so juicy. If he made that move it likely signifies they are likely no where near getting to the power conference table as we would like to believe.

When quality schtick becomes a hit it crosses into public domain. Congratulations that’s rarified air

Frazier Retires After Nearly 50 Years in College Athletics - Syracuse University Athletics
Longtime Athletics Administrator Herman Frazier retired on Sunday, after spending the last 15 years at Syracuse.
Herman Frazier retires, leaving Syracuse without its top 2 athletics leaders
Herman Frazier, SU's senior deputy athletic director, is retiring after 15 years at the school.
The 71-year-old Frazier, who was promoted to his current position of senior deputy athletics director in 2016, is retiring as of this weekend.
Frazier’s retirement plans have been known since last fall. He stayed on to see the Syracuse football team through its 2025 season.
“I wanted to make sure we got through the football season,’’ he said, “and if there was going to be post-season, I’d be able to handle that.’’
Frazier’s departure, coupled with this week’s announcement that SU athletic director John Wildhack will step down as of July 1, leaves Syracuse’s athletics department without its top two leaders.

Well, we are about to get a huge influx of about 9,000 people for Micron, many from Boise and Mannasses, who may want to attend quality college sports. That does not count people moving here for Micron ancillary businesses.

Herm was most responsible for setting up our of conference games and filling gaps in the football schedule, wasn’t he?
If that’s accurate, the guy deserves a medal for doing this for years and enduring the endless fan complaints.

Definitely agreed! John Wildhack is a smart, great leader - very sorry to see him go.

Carlsons article doesn’t give JW nearly enough credit focused entirely on JB and basketball. He forgets the disaster that was TGD Gross. The facilities especially Lally and the Dome are transformative and continue to improve. TGD couldn’t have done that. Then we had his successor for about 20 minutes. THATS a crisis. Required leadership and we will b lucky to get someone who loves the school as much or who delivers tangible results.

Did coyle do nothing in between gross and wildhack? I recall people angry he left but now he’s like the invisible man of action.
AD needs to decide on football if Fran quits again. That’ll be a big decision. I suspect hoops will he a hire by incoming .

Coyle brought in Dino.. that’s all I can think of
He solved the double dipping that was going on at the University Parking Lot when I showed up with my pass and they were "sold" out - literally as they were taking money from non-pass holders. Emailed him on Sunday, response Monday, fixed next game.

he started looking for a job as soon as he realized how bad of shape the AD was in and it was a complete rebuild job. People don't understand how dire things were. John stepped in out of love for Syracuse, not because it was a great job. At least now we can recruit for a real AD and not have to mislead them about the shape of the AD.

Daryl Gross hiring his wife and cronies for jobs they weren't qualified for. Buying billboards for millions and generally mishandling finances. They had no idea how to manage trademarks and licensing. They were not being run as a major business at all. No proactive moves all vanity projects.

For those who are thinking about Dave Benedict - one of the best guys out there. I worked at Long Beach State for 2 years when he was 2nd in command under Vic Cegles. He is such a good guy, a real bulldog who loves to win and I would be elated if he were the next AD. I know the Army guy is legit, but Dave is a winner even though he’s had his fair share of some difficulties at UConn with a few revenue things. No one should be upset if he were the guy….
Fran quits again? WTH does that mean?

Still don’t understand this narrative. Still don’t have the full story and we had no options at QB.

Poster is still bitter we didn't hire Chesney so he throws Fran under the bus any chance he gets.
He put out a walk on at QB who, until he started, never showed up on the depth chart and then left him out there against ND even though he threw away the game within 2 minutes.
He gaslit us by saying his third string QB (who was there in the spring) somehow didnt know the offense but the walk on who came in August did.
He started playing tons of freshman even though there were still winnable games on the schedule in theory (BC, UNC).
The offense never once shifted philosophy despite it being clear they didn't have the skill sets to make it successful. Even dino won a game with his TE out there playing QB.
He also more or less admitted in the UNC press conference that the team had nothing left to play for.
If you watched the last 6 games of the year and thought that fran was trying to coach winning football then idk what to tell you.

He'd be my choice. Has the proven wins and experience in the areas we need to shore up.
