I tried to sit on the sidelines; I really did.

But the above post is one of the most off-the-wall opinions I've read in here - ever.

What could any coach legitimately discern about Dino Babers' 2016 Syracuse team by watching any of the 12 games coached by Scott Shafer in 2015 - let alone ALL of them?

Watching even 10 minutes from any one game would be an epic waste of time.

Now, do I think opposing coaches will watch film of Dino's BG team?

Absolutely. No doubt about it.

Because even with 85 different players in orange, brown and white uniforms as opposed to orange and blue, watching BG run their spread last season can be extremely helpful in demonstrating how SU will play MOVING FORWARD.

Formations, specific packages, play calling patterns, receiver routes and blocking schemes that SU will likely implement in 2016 can all be noted by watching 2015 BG

There's nothing for opposing coaches to learn by watching 2015 SU get run out of South Florida in the 2nd half or even hanging tough with LSU & Clemson... Nothing.

Do you really think ANY of the Buffalo Bills 2015 opponents watched tape of Doug Marrone's 2014 Bills? Absolutely not. They watched film of Rex Ryan's Jets... Because preparing for SCHEME and SYSTEM are exponentially more important than preparing for specific players.
