Not having a decent o-line has been a huge problem under Dino. Right up there with decent WRs (albeit he was able to pull in a few decent transfers early on his tenure). While Devito wasn't exactly an elite QB, he could have put up some decent numbers if we had more o--line and WR talent.
Not to reopen this can of worms, but, I mean...c'mon? Based on what?
The message is mostly the same but it’s how it’s delivered that’s different. In the case with Dino the delivery was that of a victim - he can’t succeed here because he doesn’t have enough NIL to maintain his depth. With HCFB it’s a proactive delivery of the message. He’s saying that he’s all in, his staff will be all in and he needs the fans to be all in as well - this means supporting the program financially. They are both asking for money but it’s delivered differently. Sometimes good messages are lost in delivery.
I’m doing more than ever, I’ve got it backwards
I’ll answer that, Check Dinos career , he earned his way up through the ranks step by step, he was obviously a good coach wherever he went , that’s why he kept moving up during a long career. He is the only coach since P to win 10 games, actually 9 as well. He is the only one to take down a top 5 team , actually #1 team. He lasted 8 years and with just a couple breaks in the BC game he is still hear after back to back 7-5 seasons. Great Coach …. nope, was JW justified in the removal , I think so, but Dino is a crappy coach , I don’t believe that at all. He is gone, but that’s not enough, a lot to people feel the need to throw dirt on him.
And yet if Dino was to go 7-5 (won the BC game), he was going to be extended according to JW. Really liked former HCDB, but we dodged a bullet there and find ourselves in a very hopeful and exciting situation now.
DeVito and the defense were not ready to play. DeVito stepping out of bounds 5 yards before the first down marker on 3rd down
Fran is actually about 22 years younger than Dino.
yeah, after a bit just better to move forward with this stuff, Not going post stuff on Dino, it didn't work out and he's gone. Onward and upward. He's a good man let's not just run him down because he's not the coach anymore.
No. Are you forgetting his in game decisions? Come on man
The person who leaves their job, either by their choice or not, is always blamed for issues after they left. It’s human nature unfortunately.
Instead of that Dino's approach was zero dark 30 no access to the program.
he'd still have to coach which IMO he was terrible at.
I don't think Dino is a bad coach - he was successful prior to here, he had his moments here, but he plateaued. The Dino of year 1-3 was not the Dino of year 4-8, and that was glaringly obvious. I mean, we went from a guy doing the locker room hype video after the upset of VPI prior to the 10 win season that was the level of spirit in the program that we hadn't seen in quite some time, to a guy during a losing streak publicly complaining about NIL as one of the major reasons they were losing and not taking accountability. He wasn't the same guy on the backend. Just because it didn't work out for him here, it doesn't make him a bad coach - I just think he's better suited for the G5 and below level where the margins for error are wider or as a position group coach at the factory level where he's not making on field decisions or owning the program.
