I think Hale really downplayed Dino’s crappy record, especially vs other ACC foes. He also didn’t provide real perspective on the “TE playing QB” thing, as has been pointed out by other posters in this thread. The staff either misjudged the QB talent of or failed to improve the other QB’s who weren’t even considered good enough to replace Allen behind center in situations that screamed “pass”.

But its more than that. We all know that we face challenges as a program. You know it, I know it, and Dino knew BEFORE he negotiated his extension. He could have leveraged the 10 win season into another job. Instead, he renegotiated his contract, all the while knowing the challenges. When it didn’t work out, it is disingenuous to cry about how hard it is. Especially some of the the challenges created by the guy on the sideline.

It is never easy to lose a job. But make no mistake; this isn’t an unwed mother getting fired by Ebenezer Scrooge from her minimum wage job. This is a guy who made over $20 million at SU, a good chunk coming after he renegotiated his contract.

We face a ton of challenges. Was Dino the cause of most of them? No, but after 8 years he wasn’t the solution to any of them either.
