I think you nailed it. one caviat that someone upthread mentioned and bears repeating is the portal. I do think Dino is a port in the storm in terms of kids finding the right spot after being seduced by so many of these snake oil HC pitches. I think having someone in Syracuse with credibility, humility, and integrity makes us a signature location for the second spot. I hate writing it but we are what we are. A bridesmaid of sorts to the bigger programs. However, doing it the right way allows us to pick off some good talent that realizes that they got sold a bill of goods at a bigger school that immediately over recruits the position.

Now, it's a result oriented business and my massive beef with Dino is the game day. He's by far the worst coach I can remember at Syracuse on game day. I'd rank him below GERG there. Now GERG didn't have oodles of close games to judge him on but I feel like Dino is a drunk guy playing Madden in my frat trying to navigate fourth quarters. Hope Rocky can fix this.

I root for Dino and I can't recall a figure in Syracuse that has such high Q rankings as Dino when things simmer and we reflect on the following season or the future. in season people tend to really insert themselves into the fire dino world but he's so cool that things simmer quickly because we want to trust and root for him. It's a great trait TBH. I'm sure the team feels the same way and Wildhack/Boosters/BoT.

As for this season, I think the hot seat is sub 5 wins. No matter the narrative that'll stir up pressure. Anything above 5 i'd be shocked anything is changed. Of course a 6-0 start followed by 6 straight losses would open eyes again.
