Schiano took over a Rutgers program that was 40-80 over its previous two coaches (11 seasons)...he had four losing seasons before he had his first winning season.  In his remaining 7 seasons, he averaged 8 wins and 4.7 losses and was rewarded with the Tampa Bay job.

Coach Mac took over an SU program that was 44-66 in the seventies.  He started off 24-21 and then went 36-10-1, averaging 9 wins a season over his last four years.  He was rewarded with the Patriots job.

Since 2001, Syracuse has gone 59-99, averaging 4.5 wins and 7.5 wins a season.  We've had 3 winning seasons in the last 13.

I think the pro ship has sailed because of the lack of success of Spurrier, Saban, Schiano etc...

But, if Babers is able to take our dumpster fire of a program, turn it around in a reasonable time frame and start churning out 8 and 9 win seasons on a regular basis, you really think that LSU or Georgia or Texas (or whatever really big time program happens to need a coach at the time) isn't going to come and offer the guy a multiple of what SU can afford to pay him?

And if they do, you don't think he is going to accept?
