But, we know Marty, and that is way too boring. He is all about winning the press conference and hiring either middling P12 coaches doesn't accomplish that.

I totally can see him trying to coax Chris Petersen or Urban Meyer out of retirement or see what it would cost to poach Kyle Whittingham or Lane Kiffin. If he strikes out, he can always grab Brian Harsin from the scrap heap or tab one of his former favorites for the BC job (Hafley or Elko).

@PeteThamel
Early names for Syracuse in no order: Jason Candle, Bronco Mendenhall, Doug Marrone, Tony White, Al Golden, Curt Cignetti, Jim Knowles, Sean Lewis, Bob Chesney, Liam Coen and Teryl Austin.

Jason Candle and Bronco are very good options (though I can't imagine Mendenhall taking a break from Charlottesville so he can live in Syracuse). The rest are meh. Marrone or Golden have a Dino-level Floor but an 8-win top. They should hire Chesney as he's ATL's latest iteration of Pete Lembo. Let someone else take User Error and his headsets so Whalepants don't convince BJ that he needs to weaken Holy Cross as much as he needs to better BC.

candle seems like he's been a candidate for low level p5 jobs for a decade now (looking at his record it was probably around '17 or so after going 20-7).

seems like word is out that chesney is moving on as his all american linebacker and QB entered the portal

College football assistant coaches to watch this season: Bruce Feldman’s hot list

21. Justin Frye, Ohio State, associate head coach, O-line coach

The 38-year-old former Indiana offensive tackle was a graduate assistant under Urban Meyer at Florida before coaching with Ryan Day at both Temple and Boston College. He spent the past four seasons a right hand man to Chip Kelly at UCLA, where they’ve overhauled the program and put together a pretty nasty running attack. Last season, the Bruins led the Pac-12 in scoring and were No. 2 in total offense. Frye returns to the Big Ten and should improve the Buckeyes O-line and make OSU’s run game even more potent. This is a guy who will get snapped up to be someone’s head coach before too long in FBS football.

34. Aazaar Abdul-Rahim, Boston College, associate head coach, DB coach, passing game coordinator

The Eagles have made huge strides in their pass defense since Jeff Hafley took over and brought Abdul-Rahim to BC. In the year before they arrived, BC ranked No. 114 in passer rating allowed. They shot up to No. 28 in 2021. More impressively, they’ve gone from No. 124 in long pass plays allowed (20 yards plus) up to No. 2 in the country. Give a lot of credit to Abdul-Rahim for that. It’s part of why he drew interest from Power 5 programs for their DC vacancies, and don’t be surprised if there are a lot more offers this winter.

Thornton Melon {l Wrote}:Chip Kelly getting the axe will continue to be the perfect guy here - he's another one like Leach that just needs to be left alone to do his own thing and can do it well without an AD trying to be the head coach.

Agreed.

Gotta feel like this is the moment that Marty is going to make a play for his previously successful, hand-picked Head Coach.

3 decades ago, John Cooper had an incredible record at Ohio State, beat everyone EXCEPT for Michigan. Alumni and fans wanted him fired for the exact same reason. You MUST beat Michigan, particularly because not beating Michigan means you never win an outright B1G title (Cooper never won one.)

There is nothing new under the sun.
