Message: [QUOTE="CusefanATL, post: 2776777, member: 853"] I have a couple points. They may be naive but they give me hope. 1. he will be 58 before next season starts 2. syracuse has incredible talent next year. First year in 20+ years that we look at "next year" as the year. The usual is we see a bad team that has a few decent freshmen and we say in 2-3 years. But they were only playing because it was a bad team - Think Max Suter. 3. The dome - his offense 4. He specifically said he was offered more money 3 years ago. He chose Syracuse. I just dont feel the need to say that, if you jump ship at the 1st opportune time. Again, maybe im naive. 5. and most importantly. His coaching mentor Art Briles. Went to Baylor. Stayed at baylor (until he was fired) and was never going to leave Baylor. This is a gimmicky offense - not many blue bloods run this offense and I dont think they want/need to start. I feel this offense gives a team and a community an identity that isnt needed at USC, UGA, Clemson, Alabama, etc. It also requires 2-3 years of talent meant for the offense - not just talent (see example 1 loud and proud FSU who may have made a huge mistake going the gimmicky offense) Just my 2 cents. I'm not predicting anything with Dino's future. I hope he stays. I hope he has a statue next to Ernie in 10 years (I have said that since a few days before we hired him. He was/is/always will be the man for THIS job. I have always though he being the man for the job was a 2 way street cuse defining Dino's legacy, Dino turning Cuse around. I just hope he feels that way too. My opinion has never wavered. He gives us an identity - he is bringing the fans back - he is building this program - he will win games we have no business winning - he will lose games we shouldnt - but there is no question in my mind he gets us a few incredible seasons and it looks like this could be 1 of those seasons) [/QUOTE]
