John Wildhack

And Syracuse actually did something like that with Dino Babers at the end of the 2023 season.

I believe that John Wildhack had a mandate of win seven games, if I remember correctly.

It could be wrong, so feel free to correct me in the comments section below if need be.

But it was a mandate of seven wins, and once they lost that sixth game, Dino was out.

This was toward the end of lunch.

He said, at some point, this lunch is going to end very quickly because John Skipper, he's the president of ESPN, and John Wildhack, who is the number two guy, are going to show up here.

And then a few minutes after that, Sabin and Sexton are going to show up.

The reason why that's important Is this? Because that was after the kick 6 Saban was was furious.

He did not hire Fran Brown.

Certainly that was John Wildhack.

And look, Fran Brown can recruit.

I mean, he's elevated the recruiting.

Look, Brian Blair didn't hire these guys.

I mean, he helped with Jerry, but John Wildhack put the final stamps on it and all the rest.

And, you know, it wasn't that hard to be like, hey, Jerry, you want to come to Syracuse, you know? Blair had a hand in it.

But, I mean, ultimately, you know, it was the end of Wild Hack's tenure and all the rest.
