[PAcuse]

So we are talking about the best smelling turd in this thread
Got to love offseason

Oy. I hope he isn't in the studio tomorrow night for our game.

He makes for a decent roundtable analyst tbh. Well spoken and has his folksy analogies. Easy listening when he's not losing by 20+

I don't dislike him. Credit him with some positive moments. But in the roundtable dies he actually impart any useful information?

He’s more listenable than some of those other guys. Hey Jimbo, spit it out already.

 

[XC Cuse]

The way some talk about Dino you think he was grob... He got us to back to back bowls in last two years, was he great, no, but he did get the program stabilized and watchable.

Not really. He just asks us to close our eyes.

From where he started to what he left, people should be greatful. The roster was in better shape than what he walked into.

If he could’ve figured out how to have an offensive line he would’ve done fine. Not playoff caliber but I believe if he had a line for devito & shredder he could’ve had us as a consistent bowl team. I liked him as an ambassador for our program. TBH I feel like he was just tired of the new landscape of college football and gave up to a degree.

I got some Louisville cramps coming on.

The only thing he did was talk a good game. He never had a culture or an ethic other than sweet talk. We were lucky to have shraeder and some others in the later years that left and we are starting to suffer now. But to be honest NIL didn’t help on the last.

He had the defense in the right position for success , we had some skill players. Schrader was not a bad qb at all , just always running for his life and getting injured.

Don’t disagree for the latter years.

Dino could be pretty good at a job like that. I wouldn't expect any deep analysis, but he'll be up-beat and will certainly laugh at his own jokes.

But I always got the impression that Mark Richt has no respect for Syracuse. It seems like he doesn't think Syracuse belongs in the P4.

He always complained that SU didn't give him enough resources to be successful.

He seemed to make excuses and stop trying.

We don’t need to rehash this, but Gadsden, LeQuint, Wax, Barron, Cinco, half the o-line, etc on last year’s team. Plus a small handful of good players on this years team were holdovers.

It’s ok to say we needed a change and are in a better spot now, while also acknowledging he did some good things and left us better than he found us. Plus, we didn’t have any real scandals or off-field issues and seemed to be a good guy.

I don’t really get the hate some people have. It didn’t work out as well as we hoped. It is what it is. But he wasn’t terrible and certainly didn’t move the program backwards.

 

[Rufus_13th]

Good for Dino. I agree he left the program better when he found it. Left Fran with a group of good vets too.

It was time to move on but he wasn't as bad as some say.

Let's be happy we may have an ACC analyst be a little pro-Orange.

Pro- Orange, like Mr Cigar?
The only thing I’ve seen him say after he left was some snarky comment how bad the weather is

 

[BrooklynCuse]

The real question is does Dino know what a TV time out is and when to call one

 

[OrangePA]

True.

It’s a bunch of BS

 

[GoSU96]

Was he wrong?

 

[Idiocuse22&]

Was he wrong?

Probably not but did he seem like a Coach that deserved such valuable resources?
Once upon a time yes thanks to Mr Dungey but it was very clear he was checked out during covid and beyond.
I really can't blame him for that either. I would like to see how he does on the ole TV, Id think pretty good.

Meh. You try to give your coach competitive resources if you want to win. Not doing so sets everyone up for failure. Would he have capitalized on them? There was a time I would have said yes. Looking back, once Sean Lewis left I think the answer is no.

Fran (I know, a little off topic) is a different animal than just about any other coach. He creates his own resources and makes the AD want to jump on board. I don't know that I would saddle any other coach to be like him. We need to enjoy him while we can.
