Syracuse keeps doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.  Hire Robinson because of NFL ties, but no connections to Northeast.  Hired Marrone which showed promise. But he was also an NFL guy, who didn’t realize how much he would hate the college game and recruiting. Not to mention the lack of facility promises. Then he was offered an NFL head coaching job.  So we settle for Shafer. A lifelong coordinator.  Again, no head coaching experience.  So then we hire Babers who didn’t stay at jobs for more than 2 years.  His offense was something that we loved, but he never had to sustain success at a school, he would always be successful with the prior coaches players and then jump ship.  Never having to sustain success with recruiting.

We need to start from the ground. This job needs an experienced head coach that has built a program in the northeast before.

This program is not ready for another first time head coach or a coach that jumps program to program.

We need someone that is familiar with the disadvantages that the north east presents.  We need someone that has relationships in this area. Someone who can hit Jersey, Pennsylvania, DC hard. Someone who has faced challenges building a program from nothing into something.

Once that guy has come and put in the work. Maybe he will leave, but then we can hire someone to take over and keep the train rolling.  I just believe this job is too much for a brand new coach right now, we need more.
