Interesting Choice

After Skip Holtz pulled out of the running, Syracuse goes with Doug Marrone and not Turner Gill.

Marrone has never been a head coach at the collegiate level and Gill is the hot choice.

Not exactly sure what Darryl Gross is thinking, but his tenure as AD is riding on this choice. You can't miss on two consecutive football hires, especially when there's no decision to be made with men's hoops.

Also, Army firing Stan Brock after two years is interesting. Here are the stated goals:

Our stated goal is to deliver a winning product that wins the Commander in Chief’s Trophy and earns postseason bowl bids, a program of which graduates, soldiers and fans around the world can be proud.”

That hasn't been the case at Army for awhile.

1) I think that Blozar needs to incorporate more links, highlighting names when he writes articles like this
2) Army fans are delusional if they think they have a chance of winning the CiC within the next ten years

Here's an idea:

What hot coaching prospect was an option quarterback at Nebraska?

Army has exactly one Commander in Chief's since 1988. Their last, in 1996, was followed by six straight by Air Force and now six straight by Navy.
