marauderswr80 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Cant do any worse then that lame @ss they have in Cuse now....... Robinson is a terrible HC. The Jones brothers that play for Syracuse one plays DL right now and the other will play DL for them live right down the street from me. I see them all the time walking their dogs I frequently try to recruit them for my flag football team if they dont go further then college ball......
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 One thing to remember is one of the more influential SU alums is none other than Big Al hisself. Would SU alienate him by hiring Kiffin? Not likely. Here's my conspiracy theory on that. If the position becomes open at SU does Al Davis fire Lane Kiffin allowing him to take the job? The agreement being that the rest of his Raiders contract would be voided. Al is like Ralph. He's trying to get Kiffin to quit so he doesn't have to pay him.

Gordio Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Has Ralph ever tried to harass a coach into quitting? He tried & succeeded to get Meathead to resign.
The Dean Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 He tried & succeeded to get Meathead to resign. I thought you might reach for that, or Wade. Both are nothing like what goes on in Oakland. In fact, Marv asked Meathead to STAY, if you recall correctly. But, even if you believe Ralph wanted MM gone, he didn't harass and embarrass him throughout the year, so that it was obvious to the team and the fans that the coach didn't have the owner's support.
PastaJoe Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Syracuse needs someone who has experience recruiting on the East Coast. I heard yesterday that SU only has 4 players committed to coming to play for them next year.
Just Jack Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I heard yesterday that SU only has 4 players committed to coming to play for them next year. Wow, that many? I'm surprised it's not lower.
H2o Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I think that the college game is more suited for Kiffin. He was under the tutelidge of Pete Carroll at USC and has the same kind of attitude. He's like the guy's "mini-me" almost, except for the fact that they look nothing alike. I believe that the guy would excel at the college level and be able to build a solid program. He is a very smart offensive minded person and worked with one of the best defensive minds in college football in Carroll. If it's in Syracuse though you'd have to allow the guy about 5 years to turn things around, but it could be done.
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 One thing to remember is one of the more influential SU alums is none other than Big Al hisself. Would SU alienate him by hiring Kiffin? Not likely. This may be true but one of if not the most famous SU alums also said that things must change there and change soon. That person was none other than Jim Brown who pretty much put SU on the map, even as small as that map is now. Gotta feeling when the most known ahlete/person comes from there and says that as he did in the SU website and paper, that it will have some serious wieght. Would love to see Kiffin there and hope it happens as the program has fallen beyond belief. Grew up watching the QB's the likes of Scherr, McPherson, Graves and of course McNabb. For some reason can't get someone to follow that "bloodline" like before. Oh well maybe they can rebound like our beloved Bills can!!!!
