That was certainly true 30 years ago when Cuse hoops and football were riding high and the Detroit area bagmen showed up at Derrick Coleman’s door and Dave Bing’s automobile connections provided some nice rides - lol

Actually, it kind of refutes your point, which was: "That was certainly true 30 years ago when Cuse hoops and football were riding high and the Detroit area bagmen showed up at Derrick Coleman’s door and Dave Bing’s automobile connections provided some nice rides - lol"
What will Nunzio's role be if the Giants coach is named the OC?

I lived in the Southern tier a while ago. I've been in Syracuse. Need to do something to generate excitement and survive the tundra, right? Wonder why he chose to locate up there, but the cost of living is MUCH less than NYC.
You conveniently left out the headline. “I will no longer support Syracuse athletics …”My reference to 30 years ago was when Kapuna was up there and recruiting $$$ were pouring in.. I never said they didn’t have any deep pocketed boosters in the intervening years. My ultimate point was such support has dropped off in more recent times which the article backs up to some extent.
This just isn't true. There is money up here to provide the support. The problem was that we had an administration that just didn't care about the sports program. The most recent example I can give is the new multi, multi-million dollar football complex now being built. The last admin insisted it was something we could never afford. Wildhack had no problem going out and finding donors to get it done. When some of these donors were asked why they were now willing to fund it, the response from them was, no one ever asked. This guy has more than doubled NIL donations and still finding more.
Sounds familiar. We finally have a President who is on board with athletics.
Oh boy. I love Fran Brown and followed his career prior to and post RU but that video reeks of 2 things. 1) A guy that is in over his head. 2) A guy that looks like he already regrets his decision.
The orange mascot is creepy AF. I do hope he does well but not at the expense of Rutgers. Seems like a genuinely good man.
Regreting his decision? That would make sense to people that didnt listen to his interview he made the day after coaching the SEC game and his Introductory press conference on Monday
Look who showed up. Mr. Rutgers Dumpster Fire thread. We all love Fran Brown and he is a great hire for Cuse. We are just skeptics of coaches who were never a head coach (not even a coordinator) taking over a program. He is a great recruiter.
He would have been a good hire for a low level G5 program. Like Syracuse. Ohhh wait.
Yea I did both of those things. But once you spend more than 15 minutes in a location and realize what your up against reality starts to sink in. I remember getting wined and dined during a recruiting process for a job. Took the position and was there for a week and started to regret the decision. Once I got under the hood from the inside I realized the position was a much bigger lift than was ever relayed.
Then just say that rather than making a permanent opinion of a 20 second clip. There are other interviews out there to watch if you are interested in his thoughts
Our exact situation when we relocated to Cincinnati. We got out of there in under a year and never looked back. It was my only offer coming out of school, and it was not like I had options. Headhunter called with a job in NYC, and we were gone.
The other thing to note about that clip is that is was during a timeout so its not like he had a lot of time to talk. He came out said a few words then had to get off the court.
Bad setup by your Athletics people. Here's how it should have been done.
Yep only stayed at this position for 3 months. Only position I ever took on that didn’t last more than 3 years. Ripped the headhunter a new one.
yeah that made no sense to us at the game, If I remember correctly since I was there for each one but could be wrong I think all since Coach P was dismissed when they were introduced during a Basketball game it was at halftime.
Not sure about Miami. They seem to be floundering under Super Mario, another guy who coached under Schiano. I'm surprised he has gotten as many opportunities as he has, but maybe he's building a pipeline and it will turn around for him in a year or two.
Their OC called the plays at Baylor. TAMU had a top 10 defense while ERob was the Co DC. So its not like they have no experience at all.
I used to travel a lot to Cincinnati on business in the 90s-early 2000's. I think I hated it more than any other city. My company has a huge location in the area and it's really nice now. I still would never live there but the new ballparks are great and a lot of re-gentrified neighborhoods. I don't mind going there now.
Back in the 1990s. A few observations.
You are dead on from my experience back in the day. Covington is much nicer now. First thing I said to my Cincinnati area co-workers about the weather was that my least favorite weather is low 40's and rainy. They said you would hate winters there. Was on a Zoom call today with one of them and they said that is exactly the weather for the last month.
Jeff Nixon was only Running back coach/Co Offensive Coordinator with the QB coach who was probably the real OC at Baylor. Sounds like Jeff Nixon was OC in name only.
Wow. With that sort of enthusiasm and personality no wonder he's a top recruiter.
