I won't know until it plays out, but likely, I would look at the entire picture instead of a rash ranting because of this season. I am realistic in my expectations. Syracuse is not a selector school especially after the last decade, to not expect set backs along the way is just unrealistic. I saw good progress in year 1 & year 2, and stated last year that his success would likely cause him grief this year because of unrealistic expectations, and if the worst happens this year he would get the comments like yours. Personally I think that he is getting a slight upgrade in talent, and if you watch the games closely you will see that he is putting the players in positions to make plays, but they have not been able to execute (missed tackles, dropped passes, no touch on throws etc). I also believe that the people that actually make those decisions (if he comes back) have far more information as to what is going on in the program than we do.. I also believe that one of the reasons coach P had some of (not all) his recruiting issues was that other programs would use rumors that he wasn't coming back to help recruit against us. I personally believe it is going to take more than 2 full recruiting seasons to develop the players he needs for his system. I realize we have stunk for a long time, but that is one reason it likely will take longer to rebuild and is not good to pull the plug after 3 full recruiting classes. I guess I am just far more patient, and understanding of what I believe it takes to develop a program in Syracuse than many others
