Dr. Gross Is Out Wabbit Hunting
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
Well actually he may be out coach hunting, according to The New York Times, but fearless Syracuse.com writer Donnie Webb reports Gross is denying the hunt for the next coach. The Times said: "A person with knowledge of the plan said the university was using Chuck Neinas, a veteran consultant and former commissioner of the Big Eight Conference, for assistance in hiring Robinson’s replacement." I was personally hoping hunting dogs and men on horseback would be the ones out searching for a new head coach, but if the Times report is true I'll take Neinas who's got his act together. ...
Syracuse AD: 'We are keeping Greg Robinson dangling from a string as long as possible.'
Dr. Saturday —
Sure, it's never good to be the subject of a New York Times article that claims your boss is shilling to openly court your replacement, even if you think the Grey Lady is a liberal fishwrap (or a lair of lazy climbers who inexcusably rolled over to sell the administration's version of Iraq before the war, whatever). But on some level, learning that a search committee is already working towards his inevitable pink slip must be a sort of relief for Greg Robinson, who is so, so fired at Syracuse that formal confirmation of the rampant rumors of his demise would be a load off, more than anything else. Just, you know, get on with it. NFL coordinator jobs will be coming ...
Edsall hasn't been contacted; no QB news
Ramblings from The Runway —
Interesting Thursday call with coach Randy Edsall. He opened the call with this statement. "It's come to my attention and there's an issue I want to address. I don't deal in speculation, and I want you to know I haven't been contacted by any colleges, universities, the NFL or any people or person regarding any job. End of story." ...

Three Idiots on Sports —
It was a busy 24 hours in the land of Syracuse sports. Big East media day went down, Daryl Gross isn't very good at hiding the fact that he's canning his football coach and Jim Calhoun struggles with math and history. Let's review: Big East Media Day As you've no doubt read by now, the monster that is the Big East basketball ...
Syracuse Pretends It Is Not Looking for Greg Robinson's Replacement
FanHouse —
Filed under: Connecticut, Syracuse, Big East, NCAA FB CoachingIt's gotten this bad for Syracuse. They can't even do discreet right. Syracuse University has taken a tangible step toward firing its football coach, Greg Robinson, enlisting a search firm to help find his replacement. A person with knowledge of the plan said the university was using Chuck Neinas, a veteran consultant and former commissioner of the Big Eight Conference, for assistance in hiring Robinson's replacement. Through Neinas, Syracuse has gauged the interest of Connecticut Coach Randy Edsall, the person said. Edsall is a former Syracuse quarterback and assistant ...
Chuck Neinas Please Find SU A Good Coach
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
Pete Thamel's report that SU Athletics has indeed hired an outside source to look for a new coach appears to have a lot of validity. ESPN ran a story on it's daily college football show on ESPNU about the hiring of Thamel. (If anyone has the video email the link at jsflemin@syr.edu) Thamel is an SU graduate and in all likelihood has contacts inside the athletic department. Although the New York Times has had its problems in the past with ethics codes violations, a professor of mine made a very fair point that the Times isn't going to publish gossip. The publish ...
