Good post and I guess over the past 20 years I have just gotten to the point that I am going to support the current coach and hope for the best. Took me a while to get there for sure. If and when the administration decides that Dino isn't the guy for the job then I will support the new coach.  I do not look forward to starting over though, now more than ever it's just such a painful process. Do I think Dino is perfect? I do not.  I wasn't a fan of Shafer because I thought he was a goof ball and I think his actions when he was the coach and when he came back to coach in the dome proved that.  I think Dino does a lot of good and always represents the university very well. I just don't see the point in discussing possible new coaches or if the coach will be fired.

I think the objective is very clear, Dino makes bowl games he stays and while a 6-6 season is a far cry from perfect or even good, it is the expectation set by Wildhack himself and until Dino NOW does not meet the expectations he will be our coach.  If he goes 7-5 again I would expect a reasonable extension that works for both parties and we fight on and try to keep building something.  A losing record this year and I would expect the university to move on but until then I just don't see the point.  Quite honestly, I think it's a waste of time and energy

With regard to the portal and kids leaving, staff staying and leaving all part of Dino's job and for him to manage as he sees fit but it does not change the expectations one bit.  he's out of time for that.  Nobody can say that Dino wasn't given every opportunity at Syracuse to try and be successful, limitations and all. The expectations are more than reasonable
