All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

I saw that on one of the national media websites. Good for him (sucks I have to hate him now though). Right about now, 'Cuse is dreaming about the PP years. Robinson might possibly be the worst coach in Big East football history!
Pasqualoni brought took Cuse from a well respected team under McPherson and turned them into crap over time. Robinson made them worse.
Couldn't have said it any better. But I think Robinson is a better recruiter than Pasqualoni. But if Robinson doesn't produce this year, he's done! Back on topic, I wouldn't be surprised to see P named the defensive coordinator of the Fins. I think he failed at Syracuse because he couldn't recruit, not because he's not a good coach. I for one think he would do well in that role and it must mean something if Bill Parcells thinks he a viable candidate for this position.
He did a pretty good job of recruiting for a while:
D. McNabb
M. Harrison
D. Freeney
K.Bullock
R.Conrad
J. Mungro
Adam Terry
Will Allen
Tebucky Jones
Kevin Johnson

Robinson is just getting his recuits to the field. He has had to do with Suqabolonies last recuits over the couple of years. I never like Suqaboloni so now that he is with the Fins I can hate him even more!

Coach Mac was a very close friend of my Uncles. My Uncle John was the pastor of St. Teressa's and Coach was one of the most involved people in the parish. I got to be a ball boy for a few games when I was like 11 or 12. Very cool

I disagree.
Coach Mac had a .586 wining percentage and took us to 5 bowl games over 10 seasons, which is pretty good.
But Coach P came in, had a .644 wining percentage, and took us to 9 bowl games over 14 seasons.
He kept the program running just fine. I won't say he did better, because he had some easier schedules due to the Big East starting play......but he did not make the program "crap" by any stretch.
Coach P also produced some highly drafted players that helped keep the program viable for recruits. Here's a list of guys drafted just in the 1st or 2nd round under Pasqualoni:
Qadry Ismail
Kevin Mitchell
Marvin Harrison
Kevin Abrams
Donovin Darius
Tebucky Jones
Rob Konrad
Kevin Johnson
Donovan McNabb
Keith Bulluck
Will Allen
Dwight Freeney
This doesn't even count the players drafted after round 2.
I know his last few years weren't something to be proud of, and the final game (Champs Bowl) was an embarrassment, but my point is, Pasqualoni did more than a a fine job during his tenure in both wins and losses and in helping players get to the next level, which is great for any program.
Robinson made them worse.
THAT, I completely agree with. I'm embarrassed to be an alumn right now. I wasn't even against getting rid of "P" when we did, because I thought Gross had a plan to really try and take the next step with the program. Turns out, the only plan he had was to justify his own job by firing the head coach.
