The concept remains the same, just change the level of replacements to 3 and 4 star. Hunt was a 2 star. Dungey a high 3. The concept is you continue to recruit high(er) level replacements and let the chips fall. Maximizing for a 5th year happens only when you have the luxury of being good and having good options.

We haven't been good in forever. Why are we going to sacrifice the first part of next year to reap the benefits of 2019, when there's no guarantee (a) Shafer is around that long, (b) we don't recruit someone better than Dungey [arguably we have in Culpepper on paper] or (c) Dungey is even around in year 5, if he's any good? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Also, you glossed over the McNabb piece of my post. He wasn't McNabb 5th year senior level in his first 5 games of his redshirt freshman season. He struggled comparable to the rest of his career - which is what the non-redshirt supporters are saying they want Dungey to get out of the way this year, if possible.

Shafer & Syracuse's program can't afford to sit on someone with the sole purpose of giving an extra year at the back end, if Dungey is any good.
