    Paul Pasqualoni was hired as the new head football coach of Syracuse University. Pasqualoni had been an assistant coach at Syracuse since 1987 and coached the linebackers. Athletic Director Jake Crouthamel chose Pasqualoni to replace former head coach Dick MacPherson, who had recently left for the New England Patriots. Pasqualoni was surprised by the promotion but was viewed as the best choice for continuity within the program. Crouthamel believed Pasqualoni could keep the team together and maintain success despite the coaching changes.

    Orange Hires Pasqualoni as Head Football Coach


    (ORANGE, from Page A-l)
    "I worked jft being lousy," he
    said.
    But he also worked at being a
    coach, his greatest ambition.
    "I was a guy who was very happy
    to be there and lucky because I
    knew when I went there that I
    wanted to be a coach," Pasqualoni said. "What I used to do during
    games was get in Coach Paterno's
    way a lot just to hear what he was
    saying and figure out what was
    going on."
    Pasqualoni, a native of Connecticut, began his coaching career as an
    assistant at Cheshire (Conn.) High
    School, then served stints at Southern Connecticut State and Western
    Connecticut State. He had a 34-17
    record as a head coach, including a
    10-1 mark in 1985.
    Pasqualoni came to Syracuse in
    1987 as a linebackers coach and
    has coached the position since.
    Players know him as one of the'
    staff's most intense individuals.
    While he won't be caught dead
    without a tie on around the office,
    Pasqualoni turns into a fiercely
    motivated coach on the practice
    field.
    Players refer to him as Coach P,
    but he's also been called Coach Psycho.
    "At West Virginia, when Glenn
    (Young) and I were watching 'Psycho IV,' " redshirt freshman linebacker Dan Conley said, "he (Pasqualoni) was in the room and he left,
    and Glenn looked at me and said
    There goes Psycho V.' "
    Pasqualoni said he was "a little
    nervous and still in a bit of shock" as
    he met with reporters.
    Pasqualoni was Crouthamel's
    choice all along. The SU athletic
    director said he went to New
    Orleans, where the coaching staff
    was attending a convention, with
    the idea of hiring Pasqualoni to
    replace MacPherson.
    After a seven-hour "exercise" of
    interviewing each member of the
    coaching staff Monday, an exercise
    in which coaches and administration
    shared frank thoughts about the
    direction of the program, Crouthamel said his decision became clear.
    "As I went through that process,
    it became more obvious to me and
    reassuring to me that the guy on

    "I'm in shock. I'm just very,


    very, very surprised, very
    grateful ~ it's just
    overwhelming."
    PAUL PASQUALONI
    New SU football coach

    our staff who was clearly the heir


    apparent was Paul Pasqualoni,"
    Crouthamel said.
    By Tuesday morning Crouthamel
    had made his decision, and by
    Wednesday morning Pasqualoni
    was being introduced before the
    Syracuse media as the 26th head
    coach of the Orangemen.
    "I'm in shock," Pasqualoni said.
    "I'm just very, very, very surprised, very grateful ... it's just
    overwhelming."
    When asked about his contract,
    Pasqualoni said he didn't know any
    details: "I'm so naive, I don't even
    know there's contracts."
    Crouthamel said he never interviewed anyone outside the program
    for the job, not George O'Leary of
    Georgia Tech and not Jim Hofher of
    Cornell. Crouthamel said he had a
    couple of outside candidates in
    mind, but only if his initial plan to
    pursue Pasqualoni ran into trouble.
    It didn't.
    Crouthamel said he wanted to
    keep the job in-house to have continuity, a word that came up repeatedly during Pasqualom's news conference. In the end, a source said
    Pasqualoni became the "compromise choice," possibly to keep
    offensive coordinator George
    DeLeone from joining MacPherson's staff in New England.
    "They all," Crouthamel said of
    the SU assistant coaches, "got an
    equal look. Obviously, you go in
    with preconceived notions; everything isn't equal. People are different. Personalities are different.
    Experiences are different. So I did
    go w i t h some preconceived
    notions."
    CFOuthamel said Syracuse is getting exactly what it needs, a coach
    the players already know, a coach
    who knows the program, a coach
    who can pull together recruiting,

    and a coach who can keep a good


    portion of the staff from bolting to
    New England.
    Pasqualoni met with the players
    following his news conference, then
    awaited the return of Syracuse
    assistants from New Orleans.' A
    staff meeting is planned for 7 this
    morning, when Pasqualoni should
    get a better idea of who plans to
    stay and who'plans to leave.
    Aside from the urgency in getting the program running again,
    Pasqualoni takes over one of the
    city's highest profile positions.

    Pasqualoni also said he had no


    intention of being another Coach
    Mac, something Crouthamel said
    was impossible, anyway.
    "I probably won't drink as much
    coffee," Pasqualoni said. "I'm going
    to be me."
    MacPherson declined to appear
    at Pasqualoni's news conference
    Wednesday. Sports information
    director Larry Kimball said MacPherson didn't want to take away
    from Pasqualoni's day.
    And what a day it was. While
    troubled swirled around what

    with the uncertainty over the


    coaching staff and recruiting
    Pasqualoni managed to take a step
    back and realize a dream had come
    true.
    "Bear Bryant once said that timing in life is every thing,", Pasqualoni
    said. "And last night, it kind of hit
    me as to exactly what that meant.
    We've been to the Sugar Bowl, the
    Hall of Fame Bowl, the Peach Bowl;
    we've been to Hawaii, the Kickoff
    Classic; we've been to Japan, and
    now I get to be the head coach. It's a
    dream. It really is."
