I completely agree.  I much prefer Babers to Shafer.  I hope he is successful at SU and that he stays successful for years to come.  I support him and the team.  When he was hired, Babers was third on my "list" behind Brohm and Frost.  I think much of what he has done is great.  He has good energy.  He has ambition.

I have soured on Babers the person some though.  Maybe it's the losing or some of the questionable in game stuff, but what i once considered to be confidence and swagger, is starting to appear to me as hubris.  At first, i thought he did a really nice job of expressing and explaining his vision.  At times now, i feel more like he is talking-down to the base.

I have hope he will get the job done here.  But my faith, admittedly, is wavering.  I used to hope we would get a coach who would become our Pat Fitzgerald (i figured this would be Marrone as there are obvious parallels).  Consistently good, occasionally great, every once in a while, a tad down.  I think Babers could potentially be better though.  He could become our Gary Patterson.  There could be years with this style, where everything clicks, and we could be looking at a conference championship game or a big bowl.
