The definitive article on Daryl Gross

Scott Reid with the Orange County (California) Register has an excellent column on Daryl Gross. It pretty much sums up everything that we know about Daryl. He is egotistical. He takes credit for other people's work. He just plain isn't good at his job.

And Scott gives us a shoutout. Let's just hope this continues to put the pressure on.

In Case You Missed It

Greg Robinson is back next year. Way to completely botch the process DOCTOR Gross.

And in more Daryl Gross is Egotistical news, the headline was, of course, Gross Issues Statement On University's Football Program.

I'll be back for more after I let myself cool down a little.

Fact: Daryl Gross Is Egotistical

There has been a lot of speculation about the recent "unannouncement" by Daryl Gross that any sort of deal is in place for Mike Hopkins to be the next basketball coach at Syracuse. There was an AP report last week which stated that a contract was in place and was in the final stages of being agreed on. Almost immediately after the story ran, Daryl Gross denied that this was the case. To me, you only have to look at two recent Syracuse hires to see why Daryl Gross denied this report.

I give you the official SUAhtletics.com announcements of the Women's Lacrosse and Tennis hirings:

Gross Hires Lacrosse Legend Gary Gait to Lead Syracuse Womens' Lacrosse Program

Gross Appoints ESPN Analyst Luke Jensen Head Tennis Coach

A smattering of other headlines from SUAthletics.com:

• Gross Promotes Edson to Assistant Athletics Director


• Gross Promotes Mullin to Associate Athletics Director and Announces Additional Staff Changes


• Gross Appoints Fox To Lead Syracuse Cross Country/Track & Field Program


• Gross Unveils New Athletics Logo

So what this all comes down to is that nothing happens in the athletics department unless Daryl Gross wills it to happen. Who knows what the next headline might read, but I'm pretty sure that no matter what it is, Daryl Gross will be front and center.
