He was taken off the hot seat because he is not going to be fired, the hot seat is not a list of the most sought after coaches. If the head coach leaves, usually everybody else leaves with him. Recruiters , assistants, everybody.
Our offense if based on up-tempo RPO where we execute X number of plays per game at an extremely quick pace to catch the defense offguard, out of position, and eventually wear them down. The NFL already run a shorter play clock which would nullify most of the up tempo IMO. And Bama is running a pro-style offense, not RPO.
I don't want to derail the thread over another SS debate. My point is that not having a long term coach really diminishes recruiting. And I don't think it's real clear what the future holds for Dino, which is why our current class is ranked so low.
Do you think AD's and big time boosters can't see that Syracuse is 2 4th down stops from being undefeated? They are going to offer him, mark my words. What is this hatred you have for Scott Shafer anyways. No coach that loses all of their quarterbacks is going to do much winning, especially at a place like Syracuse. Dino didn't do much winning when Dungey was out.
Ii still can't quite get my point across to you and others. Babers has 3 years left on his contract, is he going to get extended or not. If not, recruits and their advisers see that and is a major factor to them committing to play for him. Which is why were not getting the kind of recruits we should be getting with a coach of the high quality that Coach Babers is. Spend less on the dome reno and give it to the coach, it is a better investment.
Why isn't the most dynamic, positive and capable coach, who is also an upstanding family guy and nice looking as well, getting a trove of big time recruits. Why?
When he gets the recruits he needs, he will win all the time and the dome will be full and the boosters will be lined up.
You didn't reply as to why Dino isn't getting the great recruits. That is what this thread is about.
You'd tell him to pick the education that suits him, and make sure everything else fits his situation. And then you'd make sure he picks the best men possible, even if they might be gone in a year, because that's the reality of college football.
I hear what you are saying, We still might do pretty well in the end. Is that where you think we should be, where Dino should be? I can easily see him at a school like Tennessee, if he went there last year, bringing in a top 20 or even top 10 class. He would have signed a big contract and been solidly in place from day 1.
If they are trying to play P5 football, they have aspirations to play pro ball. If they don't, they should play at a lower level where they will have more time to focus on their studies. When Gbo comes on this board and says that after Saban retires, Dabo will go to 'Bama and Clemson will move on Dino, he's serious. And I can tell you that there are a lot of other people much higher them him that have their eye on Babers. Unless you think powerful people who make decisions in this billion dollar industry are just haphazard and pull names out of a hat.
He rode shafers arse.
