"It isn't working out."
"It's very disappointing."
"He has some work to do out in front of him."
Gross made these comments in an unsolicited phone call to ESPN after Lee Corso ripped him in a Gameday piece Saturday morning.
Corso is right about one thing, Gross is trying to turn Syracuse into USC East. I don't have a problem with that, if it works. No plan will work however if they don't start recruiting better. That's the number one factor in college sports and right now Syracuse is getting killed on the recruiting trail. Gross reportedly is considering bringing in former USC assistant and current Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin, if he is fired by Oakland (which could happen any day now). Maybe a coach with an NFL resume (no matter how checkered) will have the name recognition to start bringing some players back to SU.
If Jim Brown and Floyd Little are so disappointed in how far Syracuse Football has fallen, why don't they get their asses out there and start recruiting a little. Maybe if Syracuse had a black head coach, they would be more inclined to help out.
