Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1639787, member: 39"] An important thing to remember about this hire as opposed to others is where each came from immediately before SU. Robinson came from Texas/NFL, Shafer from Michigan/Stanford, Marrone from the NFL. All three had been at levels that were higher than SU right before getting there. Babers is coming from Eastern Illinois & Bowling Green, and had to sell those two schools to recruits. In every facet, Syracuse should blow those two schools out of the water. No offense to either school, of course. The other thing - and not necessarily less important than my prior point - is that our facilities are now comparable to our peers. Not 100% comparable, but close enough where it's not used against us. When P/Robinson/Marrone/Shafer took over, we did not have an IPF and did not make the necessary investments into the program.
