Message: [QUOTE="SUDadx2, post: 4795954, member: 8174"] You go from curious to baseless conclusions pretty quick. Our offense is limited due to personnel more than anything. [LIST] [*]The offensive line does not open holes consistently. [*]The offensive line struggles to keep a clean pocket. [*]Receivers struggle to get separation. [/LIST] Yes. There is a reason RA left after one year. And although RA and HCDB had arguments on the sidelines that isn't the reason for his departure. RA left to be closer to family. No need to create a false narrative. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2022/12/robert-anae-says-strength-and-stability-brought-him-to-nc-state-in-first-public-comments-as-oc.html[/URL] Two excerpts from this article for those who can't access the article. [LIST] [*][I]“In my world it goes fast. Decisions had to be made real quick,” Anae told reporters Tuesday, his first time commenting on his decision to take the job as N.C. State’s offensive coordinator. “I don’t want to say rash, but quick. I will say the [B]strength and the stability[/B] was probably the two things that brought me here very quick.”[/I] [/LIST] I get it. How stable can Syracuse look when the HC is constantly on the hot seat? [LIST] [*][I][I]Anae also said it was a “way added bonus” to have family in Raleigh, North Carolina, including three granddaughters with a fourth on the way. His son is the offensive line coach at Campbell University nearby Raleigh.[/I][/I] [/LIST] That and $850,000 are pretty good reasons for a 64-year-old coach to change positions. Beck is doing okay. Although QB Brennan Armstrong Followed Anae to NC State, Beck's offense at Syracuse has been more productive than Anae's at NC State so far.

I have a feeling Syracuse (Beck) will have better numbers than NC St (Anae) at the end of the season. Although Dino Does have a hand in everything about the team (as he should), I'm told by people pretty close to this that Dino allows his coordinators to put their game plans together and call their games. Believe what you want. By the way... Beck will more than likely not be a lifer in Syracuse. He and his wife are from Southern California, not Central New York. He played at three different colleges. His position as OC at Syracuse is his eighth position is 17 years of coaching. Coaches move. Last thing. If Dino is not involved in the defense, maybe he should be more. I hate seeing our DB's lined up 8 yards off the ball on 3rd and 4. That isn't working. We have given up more passing yards than any other teams in the conference. [/QUOTE]
