NorthWestern has absolutely no business being better than us...

from a program perspective.

They are a small private school with ZERO tradition, no basketball, no nothing, playing in a football factory conference.

Yet watching this game, their athletes, scheme, execution is MILES ahead of ours. Its not even close. How the did this happen. Where the hell did we go wrong. This is so frustrating.

a 9th year head coach-syracuse has had how many in that stretch

Continuity helps. Pat Fitzgerald is an alum who's actual dream job was coaching his alma mater.

The actual key is that Fitzgerald has an AD who gives him what he needs to be successful, not a bunch of empty promises.

but we hired said defensive coord for continuity!!!!!

Our friends in piscataway got their staff gutted 2 years ago, howd they do last year?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Ask their fans how they looked 9 years ago when he first started. He has them in the top 20 and NOONE every thought that would happen. Continuity makes a huge difference in a program. Just ask Coach Boeheim!

 

[OrangeAggieArmy]

Continuity is the number one reason they're better. Other reasons include Evanston/Chicago > Syracuse/Destiny USA and a degree from NU > a degree from Syracuse (in general).

Your assuming all programs adjust the same this is not the case, we did lose horribly albeit. But don;t go jumping the gun 2 games into the season.
