We all know Fran isn’t an Xs and Os mastermind, and that’s fine, because what he brings is just as important — he knows how to lead a program, motivate a team, set a culture, and keep guys bought in and playing hard, which is something a lot of coaches can’t do, the real problem is that the staff around him has to balance out the areas where he isn’t strongest, and right now we don’t have enough elite scheming or high-level development voices to consistently elevate what he builds, because a CEO-style head coach only works when the coordinators and position coaches are elite teachers, tacticians, and in-game adjusters, and whether it’s the run game not evolving, the trenches not developing the way they should, or questionable timing in key moments, those are the gaps that need to be patched by the staff, not Fran, he needs coaches who can max out players technically, build detailed game plans, and stay ahead of opponents during the chess match on Saturdays, he doesn’t need to call every play or draw every blitz — he needs the assistants who can do that at a championship level and then execute it through elite teaching, and once he has that, everything he already does well becomes even more powerful, because culture + talent + elite scheming is how programs break through from being competitive to actually winning games they’re “not supposed to,” and that’s the staff build he has to hit if Syracuse wants to stop being close and start being dangerous every week.
