Orange reprieve: Greg Robinson gets a fourth year at Syracuse

November 28, 2007

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Greg Robinson will have another season to get Syracuse turned around.

Athletic director Daryl Gross said Wednesday that Robinson will remain as coach in 2008, despite leading the Orange to through the worst three-year stretch in the history of the program.

Robinson, who became a head coach for the first time in his 30-year coaching career when he succeeded Paul Pasqualoni in January 2005, is 7-28 and 2-19 in the Big East.

Robinson's teams have gone 1-10, 4-8 and 2-10. In those 28 losses, Syracuse has been outscored by 514 points.

RE: Robinson Stays
i'm not too surprised, as robinson goes so does gross. gross needs him to succeed so the move to hire him doesn't look as inept as it actually is. if cuse fired him now, which is what he deserves, gross would also be on thin ice since he hand picked him, so he'll get every oppurtunity to keep his job. it's tough to be a cuse football fan right now, hopefully next year's schedule is more manageable.

RE: Robinson Stays
probably add greg shiano to that list as well, if cuse beats notre dame it'll help start bring fans back to the games. but i still think it might be too little too late for robinson and company. maybe coughlin will be available by then.

RE: Robinson Stays
I think it is time for the AD to be let go. What numbers or facts can he possibly point to for him to keep coach Robinson? He has brought Syracuse football to record lows in every aspect. I feel for Cuse fans, they deserve alot better then to just throw next year away.

RE: Robinson Stays
Orange reprieve: Greg Robinson gets a fourth year at Syracuse
By JOHN KEKIS, AP Sports Writer
November 28, 2007

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Greg Robinson will have another season to get Syracuse turned around.

Athletic director Daryl Gross announced Wednesday that Robinson will remain as coach in 2008, despite leading the Orange through the worst three-year stretch in the history of the program, including the first two 10-loss seasons in school history.

"I have evaluated our football program now that the 2007 season has concluded and want to make clear that Greg Robinson remains Syracuse University's head football coach," Gross wrote in an e-mail. "Nevertheless, I have set a bar of significant expectations for all of our programs, and like our players, fans, and supporters, I was very disappointed with the outcome of this season, along with our overall record the past three years."

Robinson, who said he had extensive discussions with Gross about the future of the program, hinted there could be changes on his staff "to maximize the substantial talent we have on our roster to achieve success."

Robinson's teams have gone 1-10, 4-8, and 2-10, and been outscored by 514 points in the 28 losses.

Gross said he sought input from current student-athletes, former players such as Floyd Little and Art Monk, former head coach Dick MacPherson, alumni and fans.

"Despite our collective disappointment with this season, those I talked with agreed with me that stability is tremendously important to our program, specifically as it relates to recruiting, and stabilizing and building solid classes of student-athletes," Gross said. "We also recognize that as deeply as the SU community wants to win, we are a place of integrity and commitment, and that it is important to provide our head coaches with a legitimate and reasonable time frame in which to demonstrate progress."

So far, not much progress has been evident on the field. Robinson, who became a head coach for the first time in his 30-year coaching career when he succeeded Paul Pasqualoni in January 2005, is 2-19 in the Big East.

Improvement was expected this fall after the Orange finished 4-8 in 2006. Instead, they put up these sorry numbers: 1-6 and last in the Big East; 63 yards rushing and 292 yards of offense per game; nine sacks and 54 sacks allowed; 16 points per game and 35 points allowed per game; and 469 yards allowed per game.

All of those statistics rank 107th or worse among the 119 teams that play at college football's top level.

"I had substantial expectations coming into this season, expectations that were not met," Robinson said. "As head coach, I take full responsibility for that, as I should.

"I share the community's desire for a winning program, and there is no one that wants to win more than I do," Robinson said. "I have won before and I expect to win again. I know we have the talent, heart and commitment to bring Syracuse football back, and I plan to make that happen."

RE: Robinson Stays
The decision was made due to the fact GRob reall has only had two seasons of recruits. The first year were mostly Coach Pasqualoni's recruits. They want to allow him one more year. If you look at our depth chart it is the young guys making the plays. Even with GRob coaching we should win 4 games easily next season. However 4 games won't keep him employed.

Syracuse fans, you have my sympathy. I'm sorry for your loss. Maybe one day you will recover your football program. But for now, it is lost.
