Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1589702, member: 652"] Dino Babers band went 18-9 with 2 MAC East division titles and 1 MAC conference title. The band won at Western Illinois. They have a track record of winning games. Scott Shafer's band was at Western Michigan. It never won a MAC division title. It won 8 games and finished 2nd. Also it included coaches who never coached their positions prior to coming to Syracuse. SS's band was not successful prior to coming here and it just reeked out SU not giving him a big budget and he filled it up with cheap hires. Acosta and Daoust were great hires. Lester was possibly on the way. The rest weren't good IMO. I have no problems with Dino Babers coaching staff. He knows how he wants his offense coached and the numbers speak for themselves. Scott Shafer's D never screamed elite they were solid and good enough. If Western Michigan had won MAC titles with Scott Shafer in 2006 the hires would have been a little less scrutinized. [/QUOTE]
