Message: [QUOTE="cuse309, post: 2619283, member: 5119"] I agree with this mostly. I bolded the part about Dino, because turning around a program doesn't happen in a vacuum. The talent gap between what he inherited, and the top of the MAC, was far, far, less than the gap between Syracuse and Florida State/Clemson. Also, the MAC schools, for the most part, get similarly talented recruits...not so with the bottom and top of the ACC. No reasonable fan should look at the speed at which Dino succeeded at his previous stops, and try and draw a parallel to the speed at which it is acceptable to turn Syracuse around. People will point to Dino stating that it takes midway through year 2. Dino didn't say that. Dino was asked about his previous 2 stops, and how long it took his teams to click. He answered the question. He never said that the same thing would happen here. [/QUOTE]
