Why would I need to know them to judge their work? I call them clowns because they are inept at their jobs and has nothing to do with whether I know them personally or not.
I don't care what your personal definition is of success, on this planet Dino Babers is successful. Even using your definition, the Job he has at the moment is Head Coach and he has been successful as a Head Coach. Two losing seasons doesn't define a man's career as to whether or not he is successful.
Dino not having 2 winning seasons here tells me more about how far Syracuse Football is/was behind the competition than how good or bad a coach Dino is and that is a fact. Regardless of your spin. A coach that has had success at every other school then comes to SU and doesn't win, that should tell you a lot more about the school, not the man.
As far as the 3 media members you are so vigorously defending. I wouldn't bet your money on them going to bigger and better gigs based on the work I have seen.
