The Fran Brown Interview Transcript (loosely quoted):

"It's a whirlwind, just fast, everything is moving fast. Trying to get things wrapped up in Georgia, being able to come here, it's fun. Syracuse has really embraced me. It's been cool.

Asked about recruiting class and bringing in McCord:

"We are here to compete with everything we do. Compete on the football field. Guys compete in the classroom. Guys want to come to school, go to class and win championships."

"We are going to compete, detailed, accountable. There will be ups and downs. Asked fans to be patient."

It was not a bad interview. Standard stuff new coaches say. Actually thought his message was good. He has an uphill climb ahead.
ironic he would mention competing when asked about McCord…

He’s clearly not a leader. That’s all I needed to see. A train wreck will be kind with what happens there

Time will tell. Fran seems like a good guy. I can't root for Syracuse, but Fran came up the hard way, and I could root for him to succeed and leave that dumpster fire quickly.
The interview was not bad. Standard new coach speak.

I swear I hope the bowl season is eventually ripped away from ESPN…. Ever since ESPN got control of the TV rights they have over saturated the season and the production has been totally cheesiness.
agree

amazed fox, amazon or even cbs didn't go all in for it

Syracuse hired a position coach as head coach, only 1 out of 500 teams would do that. They’re a reason why they don’t do that. Why didn’t they go with an inexperienced QB for next year?

I know leaders when I see and hear them. He’s no leader. Going to get destroyed.

“We’re here to compete in everything we do”. That’s great. Yet it seems some of the transfers you brought in didn’t want to stay and compete for jobs at their previous schools. But now they’ll “compete” when there’s mediocre talent vying with them for playing time. Got it.

Is it too late for their incoming portal players to re-enter the portal and transfer back put without penalty.

SU often does good out of the September gate and often puts together a nice string of wins.
Then somebody beats them - usually Clemson - and they fall apart

Watching Elijah Clark talking to McCord on the sideline tells you everything you need to know about the status of that program. It is not in good shape.

The McCords selfishly wanted the path of least resistance (guaranteed starter), an easy schedule (maybe the easiest in power 5 next year) and a place to pad his passing stats to showcase himself for the NFL. Time will tell…

The announcers are talking about how kids will want to come to cuse because McCord will be throwing to them. He won't be upright long enough to throw to anyone with that line.
But Fran will bring in a whole new OL via the portal. Cuse has infinite resources & scholarships & time.
