Class of 82 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I remember when Gerry Faust finally got the boot here at Akron, there was a similar exodus of players... for a whole host of varying reasons. When new coaches come into losing programs, I guess this is pretty much to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I guess Trey Fairchild's dad will have to find another board now to promote his son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Whoa. At least as interesting as the turnover being experienced by Syracuse's roster is the prospect of possibly facing former Duke PG Greg Paulus as Orange QB next year :blink: Not that I'm particularly bothered by that. It's just a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeZippy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 For all the slack that Syracuse took, they made the right hire in Doug Marrone. He's a great recruiter and coach. He was at Tennessee for a while, and did an outstanding job before going to the NFL. They may take their lumps this upcoming year, but they will rebound in the near future.

Keeping it in Western PA personalities, I'm wondering if THIS former Duke PG (who also happens to do the color for Pitt hoops radio broadcasts these days) has any football eligibility left?

It's interesting how many people on this board bought into it. The kid was one of five players in his senior class to sign a D-1A scholarship and he had the least talent. Odds were he was not a D-1A player and it proved out to be true. When coaches take over programs, they have very frank discussions with players about their athletic ability and whether or not they fit into the future of the program. I'm sure many discussions like that went on at Syracuse as well as other schools around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Paulus makes it official. What are the chances he is behind center for the Orange when the Zips beat them again in October?ESPN Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
