Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 3519737, member: 1312"] Babers always was a risky hire. He was head coach at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green for 2 years. At EI, he inherited a Junior Jimmy Garoppolo who is an NFL starting QB. At Bowling Green, he followed Dave Clawson who had BG performing well. Babers really had no experience as a program builder. Syracuse requires a head coach that is a program builder. I thought Marrone was heading in the right direction and he was reestablishing local recruiting ties which I think is critical to LT success at Syracuse. Recruit the Northeast and bring in kids from FL, GA, and MD/DC/VA. Maybe Babers will turn into a program builder, but the OL problems this year point to a lack of planning and development. And,I understand the commitment to TD, but it doesn’t seem to be working and a transfer QB is needed for competition for next year. Still, I think Babers needs 2 more years to show us what he has.
