Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4841416, member: 2196"] 1 - I laugh at people that bring up coaches because they could bring some guys with them. So what happens when they graduate? I want the best coach, not who may bring some good players. 2- Unfortunately, Syracuse is a stepping stone school. But so are a lot of other schools. It’s unrealistic to hire someone and expect them to be here for 20 years. As someone else posted in this thread, Oklahoma lost a coach, ND lost a coach, Penn State lost a coach. Everyone loses coaches for one reason or another. If someone wants our coach, that means our coach was successful and did his job. Much easier to hire someone to keep something going rather than building it from the ground up. 3- The more I think about it, the more Sean Lewis excites me. Clearly Lewis was the mastermind of the offense. Once he left, we had one solid year of offense, Dungeys final year. Then it was all downhill from there. We hired Dino because of his offense. Little did we know, it was actually Lewis’ offense. Dino was lost without Lewis. Lewis also has head coaching experience. The guy did things at Kent State, arguably the worst MAC head coaching job and did things at Kent State that haven’t been done since the 60’s. Then he goes to Colorado and has his offense averaging 35 points per game before being demoted. Since then, only 21 points per game. So innovative offensive coach, it’s his offense, so offensive philosophy would always be here as long as he was, previous head coaching experience at an extremely difficult place to win. 4- Still all in on Chesney though. Guys lost 8 games in 3 years. Beat D1 teams UConn and UB. 12-1 last year, only loss was in playoffs to champion South Dakota state. Lost by 21, but was actually the closest playoff game they played. They won the championship against North Dakota state by 24!! This year 7-4 but 2 loses against D1 teams, at Army and at BC. Lost both by 3 points. He essentially as successful against these D1 teams as Dino was, and he’s at an FCS school!!! [/QUOTE]
