The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross had hired search consultant Chuck Neinas and had already reached out to Edsall to gauge his interest about succeeding current coach Greg Robinson, who is 8-34 with the Orange. ESPN’s Joe Schad is also reporting that Neinas had made overtures toward Edsall on Syracuse’s behalf. Gross denied the Times story to the Syracuse Post-Standard on Wednesday night and said he had not hired any search firms. Edsall opened his regular Thursday teleconference with Connecticut media by denying the reports. “I don’t deal in speculation and I just want you to know and everybody to know I haven’t been contacted by any college, any university, the NFL, any person or people regarding and jobs,” Edsall said. “End of story.” Edsall did not answer follow-up questions on the issue. – ESPN.com

Lloyd Carr has been seen on the Syracuse campus. But sources say he’s a consultant for Greg Robinson’s replacement and not a candidate himself. – Austin American-Statesman
We have on good authority that Syracuse University has put official feelers out to Steve Addazio, the former Cheshire High football coach and now assistant head coach at Florida, to replace current coach Greg Robinson at the end of the season. We wouldn’t be surprised if Syracuse also made a run at UConn coach Randy Edsall, a Syracuse alum, but everything we’ve seen and heard from Edsall is that he has no intention of leaving UConn for Syracuse. – New Haven Register
