Yep, and then when you take the job everything you were told is an issue is 5x worse.  That's the point.  Coaches know the challenges for the most part but I think they are all surprised to to the extent once they are in the thick of it.  That's the point.  It happens a lot in all aspects of business.  Successful CEO takes over distressed company and can't turn it around as he/she can't overcome inherent obstacles that previous leadership couldn't either.  Everyone who is successful usually thinks that can turn things around but not always the case. Also these things usually take time, money, etc. Not many miracles out there. Also when coaches are interviewing for the job, I am sure that they are made to feel like said challenges can be overcome with the right people, etc.  The sales pitch goes both ways

This is what has happened at Syracuse for past 15-20 years.  So yeah if Dino can't do it, the odds that the next guy can are certainly not very good either.  And in 2-3 years people will be looking for the next guy, bitching about play calling, lack of recruiting and hoping for another miracle. Some people were sick of Marrone after he lost 5 straight his 3rd year too. And the next guy won't be good enough either and the guy after that...
