Ever since Greg Robinson took over the program at Syracuse back in 2005, the Orange haven't exactly been tearing the college football landscape apart. To be blunt, they suck. Hard. After starting out this season with two 20-point losses to powerhouses Northwestern and Akron, Syracuse's record under Robinson has fallen to 7-28.With a game scheduled at home against Penn State this weekend, I think it's pretty safe to say that the Orange will be 7-29 under Robinson by Sunday. So it's no surprise that Syracuse AD Nancy Cantor didn't exactly give Greg a vote of confidence when talking about the state of the football program. She didn't say she was going to fire him, but she didn't say she wasn't going to can him either.
Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor dodged questions from the local media on Tuesday about the fate of head football coach Greg Robinson, saying right now the university is focused on Friday's world premiere of "The Express" movie in Syracuse.And I'm pretty sure that Cantor realizes at this point she isn't going to have a winning football team under Robinson. Sure, the program wasn't in great shape when Robinson took over (coming off of two consecutive 6-6 seasons), but at least they were competitive. The program has only accelerated its descent since Greg came to town.
But, Cantor did admit the team's 0-2 record heading into Saturday's matchup against No. 17 Penn State is below expectations. "We are very committed to a winning football team. We know how much it means to our student-athletes, how much it means to the institution, how much it means to the community," Cantor said.
