Guys it’s only year 4, Dino just

[IthacaBarrel]

Needs time to get his guys in. shafer never recruited acc athletes

 

[OrangeDW]

Last year happened.

 

[JRHEETER]

Give it another two years, we will get better

 

[Orangtiz]

Butttttt... recruiting is DISASTROUS right now. We have pulled in some decent kids the past few classes. Maybe there is some talent in this current class of commits... but at a certain point you cannot be ranked this low in recruiting. Maybe stars don't matter, but talent does. A recruiting class ranked in the 70s nationally, has less talent than classes in the 40s and 30s nationally. Its just a fact. Time to face them. Getting solid to elite players to come to Syracuse might be next to impossible.

Good god, this forum is unreadable at this point.

 

[omg_cuse_rules]

He needs more time. Devito needs more time. Everything is fine

We have pulled in solid to elite players every class under Babers.

This thread is why we deserve to suck.
My god. We are bad but this crap is beyond annoying.
Good job.
Also Scott Shafer sucked and good riddance to that guy.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Dino just needs 7-8 years to turn this around

 

[Alsacs]

Scott Shafer let me watch film with him.
He always talked to me and my HS team.
He is so hard nosed.

Screw that the guy was pathetic and hit the lottery when he got a job when no other Division 1 team would make him a HC.
Enough of this crap.
Dino deserves criticism but he is the guy to lead the program forward.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

At this point, we should be hoping and praying Dino doesnt make a lateral move after this season and coach somewhere else to get away from this dumpster fire football program.

 

[3rdRecon]

Players make Coaches look smart. We need better players, especially in the trenches. Coaches need to be able to sell the program - remains to be seen. Hope for the best here.

 

[tbonezone]

rankings went to their heads.

 

[Kowbelkat]

hire the guy from App state to run our offense

Our recruiting is no worse than SMU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Wake Forest, Appalachian State, Memphis and Kansas State... all top 25 teams.

Coaching is an issue right now.

last year happened.

 

[tbonezone]

penalties are on the coaches. that's called coaching. teaching proper technique.

 

[Kowbelkat]

last year happened.

And this year is happening

 

[samspann1]

Who are the "elite" players?

 

[syrBossHogg]

Dino is the only reason recruits would want to play here, the fan support/funding support from administration has been pathetic for 20 years

 

[3rdRecon]

Agreed. Most penalties in FBS is not defensible.

I get your enthusiasm towards Dino but why is he given more benefits of the doubts than any other coach so far post Pasqualoni? 3 out of 4 less than 500 seasons are what they are. At some point Syracuse needs to be less seduced by optics and more interested in wins and losses.

Let’s call it like it is: Dino isn’t coaching well. He’s not responding well to the ACC w his system. Can he adapt is my question. We know he’s here next year (i think?) let’s see some coaching adaptations

 

[oldpinepoint]

Syracuse fans are the worst, most of you on here were the same ones freaking out about losing Dino last year. Good lord

 

[NKR1978]

How's Dave Doeren doing in year 7?

Gary Patterson was 4-8 in year 9 at TCU.

 

[corpjet]

Yes its year 4 but no one would have said 8 games in we would have not beaten a Power 5 school, the offense has regressed and the recruiting has been less than spectacular. Sorry those are the facts.
