everybody hates to see some of these guys go, I am not talking about the actual coaching assistants but many in a support role but I think its best to start over from ground up.  It needs to be done, we have really stunk for the past 10-12 years. Needs to be done.

Babers is a clearly a believer in his system, his people, and that it will work at Syracuse.  People need to stop clamoring for retaining this guy or rehiring this guy.  Babers wants his people and the people he thinks can help win games.  Also this system isn't your grandfather's football.  Any coach retained here was part of a pretty bad program, I can see why he's not keeping any if maybe just 1. I can certainly see why he isn't retaining any offensive guys

Babers has experience doing this, it's his ship and it will either sink or swim, at the end of the day it will fall on his shoulders.  I said the same thing about Shafer and we all see that he sunk. Just because it hasn't been done a certain way at Syracuse prior doesn't mean it won't work especially with S&C, scheme, coaches and recruiting.

I swear people are sooo worked up about Northeast recruiting ties.   I don't think babers worries about recruiting geographically as much as he does finding the right pieces.  I don't think we will WOW anyone with star power ever, he just needs the right kids. I understand he will need kids within 6 hour radius but I think we will be fine, again I don't see any jaw dropping improvement in recruiting no matter who we hired.

Still a developmental program but this time we have a very defined proven system on offense that will quickly become the key to being competitive quickly
