I think that Babers is at the point in his career where he can see himself coaching here for 10 years, becoming a legend by restoring by our program (and is well aware of our history), and you can get to the championship playoffs if you can win in the ACC.  Playing in a Dome is not something that many other programs (any?) can offer.  It suits his system perfectly.

Now, on the downside, the biggest issue is going to be fan support.  If we don't get the attendance back up to 45,000+, we're not going to have the budget to pay the assistants what we'll need to pay them.  To me, that will be the number one stumbling block - fan support, or lack of it, especially once this systems really starts kicking in a couple years from now.

The second impediment I see is the ACC division break-down.  That has to be rejiggered within the next few years.  You can't have the three best programs all in the same division.  It's insane.  It will be harder to break through with Clemson, Florida State and Louisville all in our division.  If we were on the other side of the bracket, getting to an ACC championship game would be SO  much easier.
