Message: [QUOTE="mayselc, post: 1932614, member: 655"] One of the often overlooked reasons why Dino Babers was the perfect choice for SU HC is that, while his style of football is perfect for our situation (ACC competitive styles, domed home field, recruiting challenges, etc.), it is very unlikely to make him a hot commodity for NFL HC or OC jobs. That virtually eliminates 32-64 of the potential $3-4 million suitors that will come calling. So you only have to play defense against perennial top-25 programs that would lure him away. Add in that we have the money and facilities improvements in place to keep him happy and well-compensated. I wouldn't be surprised if 7 wins and a bowl game next year results in an 3-4 year extension with a $1 million raise. He's a college football coaching unicorn. [/QUOTE]
