Since you asked, and I can see  other than the likes you received, no one responded.  So, I guess I'll expose myself.

Your last sentence carries the word "simple" in it...if only it was that "simple."  Yes, in a vacuum, or a 100% compartmentalizing standpoint, I'd completely agree.  However, it's difficult to be "all in" on this 'simplicity' principle because of how that could easily, let's just say, muddy up the waters.  Especially, when one considers the ways in which SU has and does typically roll, etc.

If SU were to win out, go 7-5 to finish the regular season, gets to a bowl, etc., now what?  It could happen, and not because of some significant[I] righting of the ship[/I] so to speak. Beating two teams in Pitt and Wake that are just, simply bad, and, a mediocre GT team isn't that much of a feat, at least not in my view.

Therefore, I'm not a fan at this point of anything that can [I]muddy up the waters[/I] that may inspire SU to keep Babers on board.  And, if they don't fire him, they likely would have to commit to some type of extension, etc., otherwise the continued uncertainty and speculation likely will be used against and hurt SU relative to future recruiting, etc.
