Message: [QUOTE="Orangtiz, post: 2300302, member: 5823"] Agree completely follow the model of Cutcliffe at Duke and Harbaugh when he first got to Stanford, he rebuilt that program too. But the one thing I will say is that Duke schedules very lightly in the non conference, I know they play Northwestern this year, but when they were first reviving the program they were playing bad teams hoping to go 4-0 in the NonCon. Then hopefully you can win 2 or more games in the conference and you're in a bowl. Syracuse needs to stop scheduling good teams. Even a team like MTSU has some serious talent, potentially more NFL players on their roster than ours. 2014 Duke football NonCon schedule: Elon, Kansas, Tulane, Troy 2013 Duke football NonCon schedule: NC Central, Memphis, Troy, Navy 8-0 in the NonCon over a two year span. So then what do they do? They started scheduling better teams in the NonCon recently. Notre Dame, Northwestern for the past 3 years, etc. This is the model to follow. [/QUOTE]
