Easy for you to say, you're not the one who risks getting raked over the coals for firing a black coach because private syracuse with no fans expects so much more than average bowl games
Yes, of course, but it is not at all the same. You get a much wider net when it is public.
That is not soon enough for everyone ritualistically breaking their feet in a show of passionate emotion
Please. This isn’t 1956 Alabama. Su is one of the most progressive university in the country. Dino has been given every chance and has had more tools than any Syracuse coach. The color of your skin should not come into play. If you do your job and do it well no one cares. Dino is a great guy but it didn’t work out here. End of story. Stop pushing this nonsense.
Please don't think I'm on board with any of the criticism he'd get from idiots at ESPN. I don't watch any of those moron talking heads, I do not care what they think. But they can't hurt me.
I remember feeling this way and I was made out to be the worst person in the world. I am not going to be so pious about it, I don't blame you or criticize you for not thinking it's worth it
I will never root for us to tank/lose.
You are 100% correct. And I would add that you have a DC who happened to be a very successful HC recently. Let him finish out the season and then find a new coach. People are worried about the perception nationally of firing Dino when he could still make a bowl game. What if he miraculously won 7 and got to a bowl? That's a nightmare scenario for this program. No way you could fire him then, and you'd have to extend him. Why take that chance, as small as it might be. If you let him go now, most would understand why.
Well I would respectively disagree. The search candidates are controlled by whomever you hire to do the search. Why would you not want the widest net possible?
The chance we make a bowl is probably 5%. The chance we score more than 10 points in each game is probably the same. There is absolutely nothing we gain by keeping him on just in case a miracle happens and he somehow wins 2 more games. In fact by canning him now and inserting Rocky maybe it puts some life in this team and we still make a bowl. We would have far more momentum coming off a bowl game in the coaching search than we do if Dino somehow wins 2 games and the inevitable is pushed another year. We can still go to a bowl with an interim HC. I can’t think of any other P5 program that would keep their HC after what we witnessed the last 5 weeks. Send a message to the next HC that we are serious about winning and not just going through the motions.
Maybe they will finally have Jon Voight Day at halftime next Saturday
Problem is Wildhack should not have waited until now to fire him. I am angry to think Wildhack has allowed this to continue and we as a fan base have heard little from him. He should be fired, too.
What incentives does he have that potentially don't make matters worse in another year? No Quarterback, no oline, Gadsen and maybe Allen hit the portal along with some others. Smae old crappy recruiting (including portal). Big risks of things getting worse not better, (if that's possible)
He shouldn’t be back even if he becomes bowl eligible. He’s clueless. Nothing about Dino rings success. He’s a good guy but horrible coach.
Wildhack has a lot to gain by waiting. He can anger people with big woke megaphones or he can anger ottoscrotum69
Easy for you to say "ozone!"
There’s gonna be like 15,000 people actually at Yankee Stadium. It hardly matters.
