Marmel's prayers regarding Syracuse Football have come true!

From ESPN.COM
Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse fired football coach Paul Pasqualoni on Wednesday, eight days after a 37-point loss in a bowl game -- and less than a month after giving him a vote of confidence.

Chancellor Nancy Cantor announced Dec. 6 that Pasqualoni would return for his 15th season with Syracuse, but 11 days later Daryl Gross was hired as athletic director and the Orange's humbling 51-14 loss to Georgia Tech in the Champs Sports Bowl apparently sealed Pasqualoni's fate.

The decision to fire Pasqualoni was made by Gross.

Pasqualoni was 107-59-1 and 6-3 in bowl games at Syracuse. But the Orange struggled to break even the last three years after going 10-3 and finishing 14th in the nation in 2001.

Outgoing athletic director Jake Crouthamel, who hired Pasqualoni to replace Dick MacPherson, gave his coach a positive evaluation after the Orange upset then-No. 17 Boston College in the season finale. That vaulted Syracuse into a four-way tie for the Big East championship and made the Orange eligible to play in the postseason

The new AD is a former Assistant AD at USC, but I doubt Chow wants to go to New York

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Chow is the leader in the rumor mill, how interested he is is anyone's guess. I wouldn't be surprised to see Edsall's name come up (despite his extension) or Coughlin's (who I don't want here)

Booo. You can't have him. Plus why would he want to leave what will soon be the premier Big East football program.
