One thing I noticed from the presser

[Marsh01]

Wasnt as rah rah as Maronne and Shafe but it didnt need to be. He seems to have a definitive plan and knows with the right pieces that plan will work.

Very curious to see the types of athletes we now bring in with this system in place

I saw confidence and competence. And calm. Very calm. He's ready. No learning on the job.

 

[cpatrocks]

He's saving the Rah Rah stuff for after he Wins.

So much better than going with Frosty (w/ bene of hindsight). Psyched!

That's Dino. He's full of hubris and exudes confidence. He may say some things which cause your eyes to roll (he did this at BG a few times) but ultimately the man knows what he's doing and knows he does it well.

 

[AAM62]

he seemed a little nervous but got more comfortable towards the end.

...which is a very important factor. Having a proven track record as a head coach is exactly what this program needed.

This is a P5...he can win a NC here.

He should be nervous...

Now, Get it done...

Seemed more nervous when he was speaking from his notes than when he was just speaking his thoughts, if that makes any sense...

 

[retro44]

Funniest moment when he said Syracuse was not his destination job,then corrected himself very quickly. Rutgers will probably have fun with it as I am they will be begging Bud to run a story on it.

 

[Macky44]

Im personally hoping for more Star Wars references from Dino. Love the guy.

 

[CuseCactus]

Compare this mornings' presser with anything put forth by Gerg or Shafe. Game over.

He's a big movie buff, pretty much all the players would watch on long bus trips would be movies he selected.

 

[Full_Rebar]

"Why Not Syracuse". He had me right after saying that

No doubt. I got verklempt.

 

[br801]

I'll bet he showed them "The Express" last week.

 

[O-pulse]

Great way to begin his tenure at Syracuse. Dino Babers get's it. Now let's close out our recruiting!
Go Orange!

 

[PhatOrange]

Because he's been there before. SOOOOOOO glad we didn't hire a first time HC.

 

[KellySyracuse]

"Why Not Syracuse". He had me right after saying that

and more importantly he knew how to pronounce Syracuse correctly.

 

[HOFCeluck]

The contrast between HCDB and our past coordinators-turned-head coached is striking.

 

[billsin01]

Can't be overstated. An absolute must given where we are right now.

 

[Stern]

The contrast between HCDB and our past coordinators-turned-head coached is striking.

He knew how to handle the media too and how to handle a press conference. This isn't his first rodeo!
