You have to remember, this is the first time in his career that he has coached year 3 and year 4 at a school.  Year 3 was really good and Year 4 less so.  Previously, he has taken what he was given and improved it.  At Syracuse, he has had to be the program builder.  The big difference this year seems to be QB play.  Divito's passing stats are currently better than Dungey's from last year, but Dungey was a much better runner.

At Eastern Illinois, the team had performed poorly before he got there with two 2-9 seasons.  He turned it around, but he inherited a two year starter in Jimmy Garappolo and dramatically improved his play over the two years he was there.

At Bowling Green, he inherited a 10-3 MAC champion that had been rebuilt by Dave Clawson.  He benched the QB he inherited during his first year, but his second year, he made him a star QB.

What's the point?  Babers needs a QB who can run his offense.  Maybe that means he needs a dual threat QB to be successful against ACC competition.  Maybe Divito is not the right QB to run Baber's offense in the ACC.  If Divito can't do it, then the transfer portal will provide candidates to replace him.  Babers' offense is very attractive to top QBs.
