Earlier this week, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg wrote about college football’s coaching job tiers. It’s an Insider piece, so sorry in advance. But we can talk about the Syracuse Orange aspects of it before moving forward with our own, offshoot idea.
As you may have guessed, Syracuse was listed in the bottom tier — tier 5 — along with numerous peer programs, the likes of which probably won’t surprise much either. Without revealing the full list, I’ll note we play two of them (Boston College and Wake Forest) every year, and face another (Rutgers) this fall.
