It’s in the game, but why? How?
As we wait for the Syracuse Orange football team to get back into camp, we find ourselves seeking any news related to the Orange.
With the upcoming release of CFB 26, screenshots and videos have been circulating online and one caught our eyes…and not for a good reason.

While many focused on Dabo Swinney being hired by Alabama or Hugh Freeze getting fired by Auburn and landing at Troy, that wasn’t the item that jumped out to us.
“Greg Schiano hired by Syracuse…..” no you read that right..
Greg Schiano hired…by Syracuse… wtf???
Yes, that Greg Schiano is someone that EA Sports’ developers feel would be a good candidate at Syracuse….but how did he get there and what happened to Fran Brown?

With Dabo back to Bama, does Fran Brown trade in his shades of Orange to head to the Tigers? What if Dabo had put his Clemson HC job on the line in a game of 1 on 1 and Fran took it from him..
Maybe Fran has led the Orange to a National Title and he’s moved on to the NFL to save the New York Giants.
Or what if in the ultimate irony, it was Fran replacing Freeze at Auburn?
Would you be ok if the Orange lost Fran next winter, provided it meant that he took Syracuse to the CFP?
