Are you and Bear more likely to support Syracuse or Coach Monroe? Obviously there is a lot in play, a possible coaching change…
My support always goes Coach Babers, and he knows why. If Philip commits more than likely my other two nephews will commit also because they want to play together again like they did throughout Little League.
There is so much parity in the NFL and college football in general. Look at Bama, look at Clemson, they were ones dominant and are no more look at FSU. They were the doormat, and now they’re on top. As fans we have to understand the worst thing you can do is change coaches.
If you look at Coach Babers, he is always right at the point of breakthrough before his players and coaches are recruited by other universities.
What makes a program a program is stability in the coaching staff the worst thing that SYRACUSE can do is change coaches.
Stay with Babers and ride it to the end!
People have no idea how many times his staff that he picks is always recruited by other universities. More importantly, how his players are recruited by other schools.
Just when we get to the point where we have quality depth that could help us win a conference championship there a bevy of people who speak with our players and they are cashswayed ( not persuaded/ because you can’t trace cash ) to other schools.
People don’t realize how hard it is to win in college football nowadays, especially at this level because everyone has people who are running 4.4 and 4.5s on offense and defense. One wrong coaching decision is six points and it can cause a coach there job more importantly when you have alumni and fans who are willing to put money behind those players and get them to come to their schools that’s where the competition really heats up.
Unfortunately, Syracuse fans will complain, but they will never put their money where their mouth is, so they need to just shut the hell up; Trust the process and support Coach Babers because that is the only way you build a program….credibility and stability & by supporting your head coach.
Once your university, gets the reputation of not supporting their head coach it will be even harder to get great coaches to come there.
At Virginia Tech coach Beamer always got average to below average players he did what Coach Babers did and coached players up & signed players that no one else wanted. Everyone knew that his assistant will be there for a very long time people and parents would trust their players with him because they knew he would be there until they graduated. That’s how Virginia Tech built their program. In its heyday and they did not win all the time but every now and then the top of the University of Miami, Florida State and top 10 teams. One thing you knew about Virginia Tech in those days is they had one tough defense with people who were not recruited and they will surprise you and beat you at any time. But that’s what makes college football college football not knowing if you’re going to win or not - having the fans, laugh and joke, and the suspense of winning or losing while drinking a cold beer and having fun with the alumni is what it’s all about.
So rally behind Coach Babers, and if you are a true Orangemen rally behind your team. Win loose or draw be Orange.
As a side bar, you always wanna head coach like Coach Babers, who rights the ship away from all types of scandals that players at other college programs get into and keeps the program name clean because quality players who are looking for NFL futures understand it’s all about statistics and playing time.
But we need to get MORE players from Florida if you plan on winning anything!!!
GO Orange !!!
