Dino Babers thread...

[Scooch]

If true, odd choice for Babers. Isn't he in his mid-50s? Thought he'd hold out for a low-end P5 gig.

 

[cuse309]

That's because Cuse already has its coach

Or because, and I hope this isn't true, that UCF offered him more money than we were willing to...if in fact we offered.

 

[Finwad32]

Nice place to retire.

I'm told Babers and UCF isn't done, per person with knowledge.

Or he didn't on-site interview

 

[Don]

perfect place for him to get athletes to run his offense and only 2 years ago UCF was pretty good.

or frost is our number one and we think we will get it locked up

 

[cuse309]

Or he is already locked up, and Babers was our #2

 

[VikesCuse84]

Would assume this means Coyle told him we were going with someone else

I had this guy pegged for a "better" gig. I hope for SU's sake he didnt pass on us to take the UCF gig.

If Babers took the UCF job it means we didn't want him. He was intriguing but the fact we didn't pursue him is fine. Good luck to him in the American.

[PAcuse]

So he did take it, got it

 

[cuse309]

So he did take it, got it

Fingers crossed that a report comes out quoting frost as saying, "I have no interest in the Syracuse job, and have not been contacted by anyone at Syracuse."

 

[Cuseman78]

Seen a couple of possible Babers to Cuse tweets by national media this afternoon. Wonder if there is anything to it.

FWIW:
UCF: Dino Babers tweeted tonight, “The rumors about me accepting a job at UCF are not true. I am focused on BG Football and winning a MAC Championship Friday night.”

no denial of the offer tho Dino lol

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Dino in the mix!!!! Love it, maybe frost is talking to mizzu

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Dino Babers: There was a lot of he said / she said earlier today about Dino Babers accepting the head coaching position at UCF. Perhaps the reason is … his buyout at Bowling Green. Per Jordan Strack, Babers’ buyout in his contract drops by $100,000 (from $300k to $200k) on Tuesday (December 1st). Sit tight a couple of days my friends. Save that man $100k.

Why are we fooling around with these defensive coordinators and FOM (Friends Of Mark)?

If you were speaking truth to us about a dynamic offensive, this is not the way to start. If I need an eye operation I don't hire a podiatrist.

Babers is 54, a Briles apostle, an experienced HC and would bring the kind of offense that is perfect for the dome.

Pay the man and get him!

Agree 10000000%.

Babers > Everyone Else

I wish someone would throw this post in the face of Coyle!
