It had to be done. And here we are again. From the mishandling of the Dungey injury to the drug failures to the sideline penalties to the horrific in game playcalling and decisions...it goes on and on. I hope they finally pony up the dough for a name instead of someone else's re-treads.

Can't trust Marrone, he's demonstrated that.
What are your thoughts on Pat Rhule?
Would he consider SU and upgrade from Temple?
I'd consider Ed Orgeron if he were up for another shot at a HC gig. He's the best recruiter in the country and is already familiar with Syracuse. Just not sure if he's HC material at this point.
It'll be interesting for sure. Word is they've had a search committee working for the last four weeks and have already contacted quite a few candidates via representation.
Shafer was a nice guy but not a good game manager and for some reason he plowed thru QBs like no other. All this stuff, plus Injuries killed any chance he had at success here.
They simply cannot hire another coordinator unless it's a big name who can recruit. Otherwise, it's time to nut up and pay. It'll be interesting how this new AD handles things. But he's already batting 1.000 with this firing.
Hell, they won TWO National Championships this weekend.
But carry on with your smartass, ill-informed bullshit.
That ship has sailed.

Do you guys have the $$$ for a big time coach? Wish Rutgers would do the same and fire Flood. Flood makes Shafer look like BIll Walsh IMO. Both schools need to do better as the area is so loaded with talent that even the 2nd tier kids are good enough to build upon.

They care because they have a crumbling Dome in desperate need of repair and revamping, there's an eventual goal of possibly building a new stadium, they should be making a hell of a lot more money through attendance and merchandising, and now that their "Olympic" sports programs are becoming national powerhouses it's well time to up the game with more revenue from what should be your #1 driver.

They have the money. But there is a faction within the University that doesn't want to pony up. Ultra-elitist book worms.

SU is getting the ACC dough as long as CATV continues to pay based on total subscribers and not on rating, which may change in the next contract, or the Tobacco Road schools decide they are carrying the load and want more of the money. So, the TV money needs to either support the school which is not a public institution, or pay for a new venue unless there are loads of alumni who are going to dig deep. They aren't building a new ballpark or hiring a big name coach with sales of orange merch. There is only so much money available.
So, they are going to do what they have to within their means which is to try and find an assistant from a pay-for-play school or a small school coach who wants to try for the big time.
He is a young, energetic guy who might be able to breathe life into the program.

And the alumni with the money that you refer to experienced some of the best SU football in the 80's and 90's - so they want that back. And the University cannot afford to be part of the ACC, have TV cameras show no one in the stands, and get pushed to the dregs of 12 and 12:30p starts on MSG 2 every week.

Yeah, heaven forbid they not spend on a football coach and instead on professors and students. What do they think this is, a university?
I believe SU's AD Mark Coyle knows Sanford from Boise State.
Would think he's in line to replace Helfrich if things go sideways, though.
Problem with Sanford is if he had success he'd bolt quickly. Especially if he has success and ND opens up down the road.
I guess you can't worry about that but Syracuse would be nothing but a pit stop for him if he were successful
A buyout of LSU coach Les Miles' contract is "a very good possibility," a high-ranking source tells @schadjoe

Sorry for the ignorance, but who is "Feldman?"
Thanks.
I know you are joking, but after he ran up the score a few years back (maybe Marrone's first season), I believe that SU would just as soon go in another direction.

Bruce Feldman, Fox Sports college football guy. He's one of the few national guys I pay attention to.

You can't blame Randy for running the score up. He had very little experience playing with a lead while at Maryland.
Frost would be interesting, tho he has zero NE ties.

Is this a joke? Syracuse as a football power isn't happening.

This was when he was still at uconn.
