Va Tech Trainwreck Discussion

[Zepharus]

It is like he forgot how to play the game. I guess it is not like riding a bike...

Dude hasn't been the same since the Clemson hit. He's toast now

 

[Fanalways]

Dino gives good hugs at the end of the game. Keep him.

Thank you for the laugh

If the 44's (Brown, Davis, & Little) were here, they'd be rolling over in their graves.

I mean, can't they roll over in their graves where they're at now?

 

[KellySyracuse]

So looking forward to a Friday night tailgate with a lame duck coach

 

[OburgOrange]

November in October

Has to be that Clemson hit. Nothing else really makes sense.

He doesn't look like he wants to play football.

Uhhh what?

 

[DoctorBombay]

How do you roll over in your grave if you're here?

That's the whole point! Well, duh...

 

[IthacaMatt]

How about the reality that he just isn’t a good QB and using some phantom injury every year is getting tired

OK, but even if you say that, we have had 10 win seasons with guys like Todd Philcox, R.J. Anderson, Marvin Graves and Don McPhearson, none of whom had a sniff in the pros.

Team performance shouldn't depend so heavily on just one guy.

Philcox was in the NFL forever, maybe one of SU's longest guys there. I think McPherson was there a few years as well.

That is the choice of the HC. He is the one who is playing a WR at QB.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

If he loses to BC at home next Friday there's a chance he could be let go before season end.

He should be let go tomorrow. There is zero reason to keep him at this point. Nothing good can come from it and a lot of bad can come with him staying.

Yeah, they tried.

We didn't.

Weird how it seems to end up bad.

Really not much to debate , Dino is toast but I take no joy in that, especially since we now have to give some new coach 4 years to implement his system, at least Dino gave us a few great moments, I honestly think SU football as we have known it is coming to an end. No new coach is going to make us an ACC contender. I’m pretty confident of that . Fingers crossed for Coach Autry.

Interesting way to put it

 

[BKCuse]

A

agree 100% but you know…. We can still win our remaining 4 games

The chance of us winning last 4 games is microscopic

 

[oldpinepoint]

I agree, haha

It doesn't take 4 years anymore. It's a new age in college football.

They'll be better suited just to have some new energy. Because nothing is energizing or inspiring them right now.

Yep spot on. Let me know when the funeral is, I’m going to need it for closure!

Chip the playing field is no longer even close to level, In any and every respect, it’s over bro.

Is there anything like the AAU basketball circuit that we could tap into with a couple good football recruiting hires, or is that not a thing in football? Don't they have all-star games, etc?

 

[smartman]

2023 Babers is not the same guy from 2016. Or maybe he is but a bit older with less concern for the job he was hired to do.

right? what happened? lost the fire? those first few years we lost a bunch, but had an exciting product at least.

 

[Stevenson]

Shush, he’s on a roll…

I get that, I know the 90s aren't coming back anymore.

But I was more responding to it taking 4 years to implement a new system. It doesn't. With instant transfers you can compete.

I accept that we're not going to be in ACC Championship games. But I don't accept that we're a program that's relegated to 500 yard to 150 yard mismatches in all our ACC games.
