Well, yeah - as a fan this stuff is easy. Fire the coach! Get better at recruiting 4*! But that's not reality.
I think we need to refer to this chart more. It takes into account schedule strength - which is huge when you're comparing W/L. Not all win/loss records are created equal. SRS is simple rating system and accounts for schedule strength. 0 is average, a negative number is below, positive above for both SRS and Schedule strength:
HC by Win% | Average SRS | Best SRS Year | Win % at Syracuse | Overall schedule strength while HC |
---|
Marrone | 0.0 | 6.27 | .500 | 0.54 |
Babers* | -1.22 | 12.14 | .400 | 2.51 |
Shafer | -1.18 | 2.81 | .378 | 3.26 |
Robinson | -8.18 | -2.08 | .213 | 3.67 |
* I don't know how to remove 2020 from the data, but the asterisk should be huge. No HC here had faced a year like that in the "stuff you don't control" category.
I think this tells a pretty accurate story. We've been bad to mediocre since P left. Marrone and Babers are the best of the bunch. EDIT: Obviously, Shafer and Robinson were fired, while Marrone left. Dino is on the edge, but probably closer to safe than the board common opinion IMO
