The Coaching Carousel Spins Around And Around
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
I know there isn't an actual coaching vacancy in Syracuse, and we're apparently not supposed to talk about it until there is for some arbitrary reason even though we all know there will be one soon, but it's officially time to keep tabs on the situation and the viable candidates for the job. One such viable candidate just became slightly more viabler (word?). Lane Kiffin, long rumored as a DOCTOR Gross-approved choice for the job is officially without employment. (HT: Sportzbelle) And if you don't believe ESPN, you can probably trust this site. Whether or not that means anything for SU ...
