Message: [QUOTE="44PRIDE, post: 310532, member: 77"] While I respect what HCDM has done, last seasons meltdown does not warrant a contract extension. Truth is that I have serious reservations about some of the "in the moment-under pressure" game day decisions he's made. We've lost some games because of this (RU-2011, UConn-2011) and even HCDM would admit that he's fallen short of his goals to date. We are now a program on the rise, and much (but not all) of this is due to him. Recruiting is on the upswing...Facilities are improving...and we are moving to the stability of the ACC. Syracuse is now a desirable destination and can begin to attract (and can now afford) upper tier coaching talent. My feeling is HCDM should get two more years. He now has a full roster of his own players and its time to win now. If we don't see regular 8+ win seasons, it's time to make a change. [/QUOTE]
