Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4438604, member: 2196"] In my opinion, to be a good head coach, you need to be excellent at at least one area. You are either an excellent motivator, game planner, game day coach, offensive or defensive guru, ace recruiter, game management, etc. I’m curious to know what people think Dino’s strengths are because I am having trouble coming up with traits that are above average. This is why Dino needs to go in my opinion. He was hired as the head coach at Syracuse because of his offensive system (fast paced, no huddle, explosive offense). We have not seen that in many years, if at all really. His most explosive weapons at WR were players from a different coaching staff. He constantly mismanages games and is a poor game day coach. The talent has not seen an uptick at the QB, WR, or OL positions, part of why he was hired. Thank god he hit on Tucker or else he would have missed on every offensive position he recruited. He has not learned from his mistakes. The same mistakes are happening now as when he was hired. He just leaves a ton on the plate for my liking. I have tried to give him every opportunity. I did not feel good about this FSU game and Bad games happen. It just feels like we have reached our limit with him as the head coach. In my opinion, his greatest strength was his ability to motivate. But he seems to be more occasionally great than consistently good which is something he has preached about for years. In the end, even though we are bowl eligible this year. And I have faith that the coordinators are in place for future success if left time to grow and develop. I just don’t see the reasons for keeping Dino. I think his best traits as a head coach are simply average at best and he has many traits that are below average. Just curious to see what others think his best head coaching quality is? [/QUOTE]
