I didn't see the broader crux of his particular post as "bashing" but rather simply stating a fact in regards to what his ACC record is.  It is absolutely putrid.  And, he's also quite accurate that (let's just say) an extremely low percentage of P5 level schools would retain a coach with such a record after 6 seasons.

You could've easily responded to him in similar fashion as you did here, versus throwing shade his way, especially since you, in all probability, have never met this individual, know his story, etc.  There isn't any need to make it personal.  But, you did.   As I said, it's somewhat hip here at times...proven also by the likes you received as well.

I'm not a fan at all of Babers the head coach.  I do think he's a very good ambassador for the school, although, that is not what the main role of a head football coach at a P5 level school is.  Winning games is first and foremost, in which he's paid rather handsomely to do.  When you take an objective  comprehensive view of his tenure here (as head coach) to date, he has failed miserably.  I don't know how anyone can say otherwise.

SU, in my opinion, has delayed the inevitable in retaining him.  His [I]"close your eyes,"[/I] [I]"faith without evidence," "year 4, 3rd game" [/I](remember that one) etc., etc. are long gone.  No doubt he can talk the talk, but unfortunately, where it matters most, incapable at this level of walking the walk.  His record here speaks for itself and proves it.  Moreover, he doesn't possess a track record of prior sustained success either (from a longevity standpoint, only 2 years at both Eastern Illinois & Bowling Green) prior to SU.
