Reality is, Dino ain’t it.

[OrangeXtreme]

So to confirm...and I’ll want to listen for complete context, but are you saying Down 14-7 on the 40 with 3 mins left after 3 deep throws that were incomplete and he said he kicked a fg because he wanted to give the kicker a chance at the dome record? Can you confirm that? Because if so, that’s a fireable offense

Does Denaburg routinely makes 60 yard FGs in practice every day? (This is a rhetorical question since nobody in the media watches practice).

We know the kid has a leg on kickoffs. His accuracy in the Spring Game was shaky potatoes, though.

If Denaburg told Dino that he's good from 59, why not take the points.

The 57 yarder was not a bad choice. Waiting to give the green light was. He has the leg just not when he’s rushed

Missing the 57yd field goal, which is a very high probability, is the same as going for it on fourth down and throwing an incomplete. I would rather have run a fake field-goal, than trying a 57 yarder, especially the way in which we did it, gimmicky. utterly stupid. We should have just gone for it on fourth.

 

[swish7]

Just said he was trying to get denaberg the dome record for longest field goal. Gotta listen to press conference. He’s defending the decision.

absolutely stunning, if true.

He nearly gave Clemson 2 TDS with that move alone.

Alford and Hatcher are the biggest weaklings who allow DBs to channel them into the sideline.

Most of that is on Shrader. You can continuously throw the ball out of bounds and blame it on Alford and Hatcher.

4th and 9 probably has the same chance of success as a 57 yard field goal.

So go for a record instead of a smart decision...gotcha...What

This is ridiculous. It's not working with HCDB

 

[djcon57]

Are you serious? You’re seriously not blaming the kicker for a missed RG?

Are YOU serious?

A coach’s job is to put the players in a position to win. You wouldn’t put a walk on in a qb and go “well….players fault”

 

[Cuse181]

Sales/recruiting doesn't begin until the first 'no'. We used to get good players here, the only difference is the last couple of coaches.

Well, that plus the rise of other schools, the dismal amount of talent in the North East, the move of talent to the south, the awful fan support, etc. but yeah, the coaches too

His throws are awful, I’m not excusing him.

But watch Alford and Hatcher line up on the yard numbers and end up tiptoeing the sideline 10 yards into the route.

The problem is he probably would have punted. I’d rather kick the fg than punt. You’re all assuming we would have gone for it lol

A kick that would have resulted in a school record? yeah, that's not on the kicker

Because it’s the second quarter with three mins left and getting to a 4 pt game means nothing and missing gives the opposition team great field position to score before half and, oh by the way, they get the ball first out of half .

 

[wiseman3]

Our goal should be making the expanded playoffs...I dont think its out of the realm of possibility with the right coach. Obviously not every year, but being ranked and having a shot every few years.

I have zero faith that Dino could ever get us there

 

[two3zone]

Conference record is 18-40. You are what your record says you are.

Keep running it back and expecting something is just ignorance.

 

[RF2044]

Miscues, penalties, undisciplined play, a 57-yard FG attempt.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

White knuckling to a 6-6 record - maybe.

Nice face of the program but it’s the same song and dance every year.

One of the dumbest posts that I've seen on this board in a while. I get that people are disappointed, but Jesus.

White knuckling 6-6?

Put your money where your mouth is. Name the bet.

With the way our D was playing. What’s the problem with going into the half at 14-7

 

[PhatOrange]

You are kidding right? How many 57 yard field goals are made in college ? How many have ever been made in the Dome? How many 57 yard field goals have been made in the NFL?

 

[phil77]

Chalk this up to the missed opportunity that it was. We laid an egg when we had a golden opportunity.

This seems like a common theme under Coach Babers.

7-5 at best and I’ll put money on it.

I would’ve rather punted and hopefully pinned them deep and held them. Down 14-7 at half would’ve been fine, considering how many major mistakes we and the refs made.

 

[RF2044]

IM me.

I'll be happy to take your money.

So tired of this self-loathing around here.

It was a lousy performance against a team that most had in the top 10 at the beginning of the year. Disappointing, absolutely. But not the sky is falling debacle summer making it out to be. Howzabout not get wrapping them 14 points at the start of the game?

At the 40 yard line you either punt or go for it, a 57 yard fg is dumb. But if you are going to do it, then do it, not line up in a punt formation, and then run into the fg. What was the deception for?

 

[orangecuse]

Simple fact is when you play teams that are top to bottom more skilled you can't make mistakes and win.

Dino's team is consistently undisciplined. That means they'll make mistakes that make it hard to win against superior opponents.

It isn't more complicated than that.

Exactly.

Moreover, playing a very weak early season schedule (same as last year) hides the substantial weaknesses and flaws the team has which contributes to a smoke & mirrors type effect record. Additionally, the mistakes, miscues, etc. that happen when the opponent isn’t so inferior is often due to the fact that the talent level you are now playing is a significant contributing factor. It’s cause and effect in nature, and, IMO, not surprising in the least watching how things play out with Dino at the helm.

Dino’s peer/ACC record is, in all honesty, darn right putrid. Especially, when considering how relatively mediocre the conference (sans Clemson) has been during his entire tenure at SU.

9 or 10 are within reach. Lost a battle, not the war.

I would have punted every day of the week. It was a one score game. Put them in deep and try to get the ball back. You don't give them the ball at midfield.
