Your starting to see Fran and his assistants get exposed for a lack

What happened to Ross-Simmons? he was our best and most sure-handed receiver

Injured and he has no QB to throw him the ball.

Carson Beck protected the football, was able to get the ball to his playmakers

like his 330 pound samoan lineman ...

Pasqualoni was literally on the field with Freeney when he got his number retired. He got a standing ovation. Things are fine with him and SU.

Great let’s get him on the freaking sideline to help out on defense again. Sheesh, this is an all hands on deck moment for this program

Hope we get to the portal bowl again in April.

we actually need Don brown as d coordinator and maybe another sage x and o guy in the program. If pasqualoni wasn’t persona non grata he’d make a great advisor to the program.

Just need some adults

Cheer up, man.

Thing is, Fran *did* recover from the QB mistake! He got Angeli after the spring game. That was a huge recovery and could have netted us a half-way decent season.

Again, the issue, which is hard to address admittedly, is that not only didn’t we have a good QB2, we didn’t have a good QB 3 or QB 4.

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the poster I was responding to that there was some unaddressed mistake, but agree Fran did what he could. Missing on a guy like Collins is going to happen. Getting Angeli addressed that.

What more interesting is what happens in recruiting. If we go hard for an obvious starter to replace Angeli - which is what the anti-Fran crowd seems to want - I’m not sure how you keep Angeli. If you go for a legitimate backup, you’re hoping Angeli recovers which isn’t a given from his injury. Ideally you want as many potential starters as possible - but with NIL that’s bordering on impossible for everyone, especially at QB.

My opinion is you count on Angeli, recruit a young guy to redshirt and maybe become starter down the road, and hope for the best. Recruiting a “McCord” type so we can have either him or Angeli be second string seems unlikely.

Now Fran has an off-season to evaluate and retool his staff. First-time HC growing pains.

McCord was a once in a generation transfer QB so don't ever expect someone of his caliber to transfer to Syracuse as successful starting QBs from one of the top P2 schools are not readily available in the portal. But, you have to bring in a backup QB for next year.
