IMO (total guess) what is killing him is the fan base.  Maybe the "extended Syracuse community" isn't what he remembered it being.  He has said it indirectly in public, but he probably wishes he could say it outright:  "Look folks, we were just about the worst program in D-1A when I took over and we have continuing obstacles to overcome, and we didn't (don't yet!) have the horses to be a very successful program, but for pete's sake this is college football, and I don't understand why you don't come to the damn games, because your not going makes it harder for us to get where we want to be.  Chicken and egg people, jeez."
 
It really seems like he is burning out beating his head against the "fan base" that we have.  They've done everything but give tickets away.
 
And I will say it again, "If they put a better product on the field..." is a bull argument in college football.  Just pick a pro team to follow and be done with it.  Which is what I suspect a lot of folks in upstate have done.
