It’s one thing to speculate on potential head coaching hires. You can look at wins/losses, rankings, statistics and make reasonable guests as to who Syracuse should be interested in, but when it comes to athletic directors, all that is lost.

Chris Ballard loves his picks. The more darts he has to throw at the board, the better in his opinion.
