Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 3638631, member: 396"] My subjective takes: [LIST] [*]Dino was objectively a success at his prior two head coaching jobs; [*]He was a success with other coaches' players, and another coach's groundbreaking system; [*]He left before he had to build anything of his own at Bowling Green; [*]Bowling Green has been an unmitigated disaster since he left; [*]He was a good hire for Syracuse; [*]He always struck me as being full of it, but i admit, i do harbor some resentment about gym coaches making millions (that's on me), and i do not think he was necessarily more full of it than others in his line of work; [*]His first two years at Syracuse showed promise, despite some hiccups/concerning moments. I would not consider them successful though in the traditional sense of the word. He appeared to be building though; [*]The 10-3 season was excellent, but was propped up by a ton of things going SU's way. It's not Dino's fault things broke our way, and he deserves credit here (particularly his willingness to utilize Devito against FSU and UNC, and then his resolve to stick with Dungey after); [*]The 5-7 season in 2019 was nearly an objective failure, a notable regression, and spoiled most of the goodwill from 10-3 (it included some What moments such as the "La Familia" webisodes, "no film," and the blowout at Maryland, the ineptitude at NCST following a bye week ...); [*]This season was an unmitigated disaster. It calls into question whether his systems are still novel and whether he can effectively coach up players, make adjustments, etc. It also calls into question his recruiting philosophy. I dont know about the internal dynamics to comment on whether he has lost the team, etc.; [*]He should not be fired at this time; [*]It's too early to know what 2021 will look like, to make any predictions or proclamations for next season.
