I’ve known him a long time, he’s one of the best. Would love for him to be back

What it sounds like to me is you will have an inside source no matter who we hire for AD!!!

If we get DB as AD, I will be beyond thrilled. Anthony has an energy to him that is unmatched. Both great people

Wishes come true. While you’re on a roll, can you wish that Josh Schertz comes to Cuse?

Looks like the Dunk N Bright couch my mom bought in the 90s. Employee discount, don'tcha know.

Sorry if I've missed this... but is Benedict a real possibility? That feels like a home run if so.

Guessing his name is Anthony DiFino?

The more I read his bio, the more I think he would be a great hire.

I agree. The only thing I'm a bit nervous about is hiring him for the head job when he's not been the AD at a smaller school yet.

Fwiw Mike McAllister said if he had to guess right now he’d say Lyke is the favorite to become the next AD

I can neither confirm nor deny, but I would be doing backflips if Anthony comes home, both personally and as a fan.

And a 69 year old overweight guy doing backflips would be quite a sight!

I bet you still got the juice, Consigliere.

I do not think there is any "insider" or "reporter" less plugged in than Mike MicAllister

unfortunately, i have heard she is still in the mix despite originally being told the opposite. I dont get it.

That would be a mistake.

I don't know if I read it here, but isn't she going to follow Kent to Ann Arbor?

I try to be an optimist, but WTAF would we be doing? Especially after the end of the Coach Hillsman situation and the new Pitt Women’s Basketball situation that might’ve happened and she apparently knew about and did nothing during her AD run there. And if she is cleared, if she wants to be an AD, let a G5 hire her. Syracuse can’t risk being her second chance at this time. Did I miss Patrick Star inclusion on the search committee? Lol

Generally I would rather see Syracuse promote someone at a lower level program in the position already that is promising and successful than someone needing a second chance and that goes for the men’s basketball hiring as well. And if she is hired she better dominate the press conference and media early and knock this men’s basketball hire out of the park because even the most optimistic will need something to get on board.

Interesting. Mix could also mean she gets included with multiple people in round one and that's it.

100 percent agree. As they say, reach out to your congressman (members of the committee) and let them know.

Any time you get the chance to hire a failed Pitt AD who presided over financial malfeasance, scandals, and was unceremoniously fired you totally gotta take it.

I'm not going to overreact until a hire is made, but if that's ultimately the choice then it's clear SU isn't serious about running a successful athletics department.

Agreed, the hire would signal we are at our "peak" and waving the white flag.
I'll try not to do much hand wringing until the hire is made BUT the committee even thinking of her as an opition is insane.

 

[SU68]

I don't know any of these guys and have no opinion on who would be the best choice. I would caution that the job description Gross, Coyle and Wildhack were hired to fill isn't the same job that the new person will fill. It's changed so much.
