He doesnt need to. His staff needs to. If he can get kids to come, and buy in, he can be dangerous.
OT: #1 NJ to Syracuse
- Thread starter OldManRiver1
- Start date
There isn’t a single coach on his staff that has ever been in charge of play calling. Someone needs to coach
The sky is falling?I always forget the 3rd one.
Help me out here.
If he continues to recruit like this they will be much better than RU rather quickly.
I watched WCU a few times this year. Not sure a guy Yasin's size matches what Bell does as an OC. He seems to like those 5'8 type guys. Catch balls out of the backfield etc
Fran Brown demonstrated his ability to coach defensive backs at National Champion Georgia. Greg only had two years as a Coordinator at Miami. Mario Cristobal
Had zero years as a coordinator, yet makes twice Greg’s salary as Head Coach.
The notion that Fran Brown can’t coach lacks merit, because he’s never been given the opportunity. He’ll have the opportunity over the next 3 to 5 years to grow into the role. As long as he gets the talent and develops it, he Will be successful. He’s off to a great start, gaining commitments from the #1 WR and #1 RB from NJ.
“I don’t give a ****” maybe? LOLI always forget the 3rd one.
Help me out here.
We currently have the 2023 Big Ten rushing title holder.
I’ll just wait to watch it play out on the field.

My point was that he specifically does not need to coach. It is going to be about what his staff looks like.
Time to get your head out of the sand. Fran Brown hired one of Texas A&M main bagmen to be their defensive coordinator. They’re getting commitments because their alumni are ponying up. Jaylan Hornsby was all Penn State till Texas A&M came with a bag. There’s no way Jaylan Hornsby is going to Syracuse without a bag.
Yeah people want to just label him as a DB guy that can recruit. Its lazy. Fran walked into Georgia and immediately got approval from Smart. He changed the way they did things in the secondary. His impact was instantly noticed in the opener against Oregon.
Let’s see what happens. Pops turned out better than a heck of a lot of 4 star RBs. Meaningless if you suck in the trenches.
Al, time to tune up your reading comprehension skills. I didn't write the NIL article disparraging Syracuse efforts. It came from the Daily Orange. You continue to lower the value of a Rutgers degree each time you post.
Secondly note the defnition of bagman which you obvously used incorrectly (I hope).... "an agent who collects or distributes the proceeds of illicit activities." Per Al, "Fran Brown hired one of Texas A&M main bagmen to be their defensive coordinator." Really?? That's not a very nice accusation.

Ha, same comment as the TKR party-line comment about our coach, Mike Locksley. I'm seeing a pattern...
I meant if Fran keeps getting 4 and 5 star recruits in all positions.
Sewercuse is a shitthole city, plays in the carrier clinic bubble and it’s the frozen tundra but if high school players buy what Fran is selling plus if their NIL takes off, Rutgers will definitely feel it
...and if their recruits want to plan in a conference currently deemed irrelevant by the College Football Playoff committee that's their perogative.
Of course. But getting a few position players is one thing. The key to look out for is the linemen and that’s where it’s going to be an uphill battle for Brown in my opinion. Bad programs don’t land 4 and 5 star players for the trenches. At least it’s rare. He’ll have to develop guys there to have success.
Schiano probably doesn’t get enough credit for his work in this area. He may not have a great history developing QBs but he’s top notch at developing defensive players and blockers for the OL. The OL on a whole is much much better than it was when he came in. At the end of the day, Fran will need to be successful developing players otherwise his tenure won’t go well even if he nails it on the recruiting side.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry that Yasin left but I no longer obsess over the decisions of a recruit to leave.
You concentrate on the players who remain committed to your program.
In fact today, Pitt got a recommitment from Rival 4-star Florida DL recruit Sincere Edwards who will remain with the program.
I also believe that Fran Brown interviewed Tiquan Underwood for the Syracuse WR coach position but he will be remaining with Pitt.
Players and coaches leave all the time leave for perceived better opportunities.
Just have to move on.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

You seem like a Syracuse fan. He didn’t flip any Rutgers recruits. The recruits were going to Pittsburgh and Texas A&M, one 4 star and one 3 star.
Cuse is now ranked in the 50’s better than their usual 70’s ranking. Yup, going to make a big difference. They might get out of the basement of the ACC, Now 11th out of 14 teams.
Most of their fans are delusional, they must think we’re in the ACC. Like we care.

Oh Dave, you’re making me dumb it down for you again. Geez.
If Fran continues to get the best players in Jersey to go to Sewercuse , they will get better and at the same time that’s not good for GS.
Fran hasn’t been there that long.
You’re lacking clarity again and not understanding how recruiting affects football programs.
What a thread.
Syracuse fans, Pitt fans, Maryland fans, penn state fans...it's a giant sinkhole of a-holes.
We really needed a win this past month, and we really really need to win this bowl game.

Oh, if Schiano get the 4 and 5 stars recruits in the Northeast, we can be champs.
Even though I'm one of the a-holes, I liked this post (meaning that I agreed with it, not just that I clicked "LIKE"). Merry Christmas to ya...
Well, this board doesn’t have much to talk about, the one word thread is going on for about a year or more. We could talk about grass growing but it’s the winter time.
I think 6-2 (220 pounds) Yasin would have been a good RB in the Pitt offense.
A couple of years ago Pitt recruited a 5-11 (216 pound) Rival 3-star RB from NY.
His name was Israel Abanikanda who went in the 5th round NFL Draft to the NY Jets.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
Pardon me taking this opportunity to rant a little, but...
We really don't have to respect anybody's decisions. I get that this has become a pop culture thing for kids to say with respect to recruitment or transfers, etc. And that its use has, sadly, spread to non-sports contexts.
But when you think about it, it's kind of a dumb thing for people to say in pretty much any context. What people on social media think about other people's decisions is almost entirely meaningless and irrelevant. I'm not sure why anybody would even GAF about what anybody else thinks about their decisions, unless it's some stakeholder.
And in many, if not most, cases, I'm pretty sure respecting decisions isn't even what the player actually means in the first place. Seems that what many are really trying to say is "and the matter is closed for discussion", which is a hint, in sports, aimed largely at other coaches who were recruiting them that basically says "you can stop recruiting me now, thanks".
So why don't they just say that?
But nope, people still say "respect my decision" prompting without fail one of the many voices in my head to reply "nope, I don't think I will" while doing the inner-voice equivalent of giggling fiendishly.
I could probably repress that voice in my head if I really tried. But you know what? I don't think I will.
Respect my decision.

You shared a dated article which is obsolete. With NIL, what used to be illicit, is no longer so. Again, another obsolete reference. What this proves to me is that you’re a crusty old fool who doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about. I’ll let you wallow in your ignorance. Have a great day.
And btw, no one in my generation found Marcia Brady attractive. Cindy Crawford was more our style.

I liked your post but not because I agreed with it (you're not one of the a-holes). I liked it because I like it when people value humor over taking offense.
Really? Seems like mixed results. Georgia passing yards/game , SEC rank
2021 (pre-Fran) 172.2 #1
2022 (Fran) 215.1 #8
2023 (Fran) 177.7 #2- shredded by Alabama, out of CFP
Here's an interesting fact: "Brown becomes the fourth Smart assistant to be hired directly from Georgia's staff to become a head coach, joining Dan Lanning Sam Pittman and Mel Tucker.
Well, as Meat Loaf sang, 1 out of 3 ain't bad.
Time will tell.
Is there a third one? Thought it was 1, 2 or 2, 1?I always forget the 3rd one.
Help me out here.
We are screwed?
Is not winter time in Australia. They have grass in Australia, don't they?
Although I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the grass in Australia is trying to kill us, along with so many other things in Australia. Lots of deadly stuff down under, there is.
Can we just discuss snow blowers in this thread since it snows a lot in Syracuse and their football team blows?
- @e5fdny , @koleszar and @knightfan7 -I have not put my snowblower in the "ready" position. Feel like I am tempting fate. I usually have it gassed up and started at least once to make sure it is "ready." Frankly, have spent much of the last week fretting over Syracuse.
