One possibility that has been raised here before - he hoped a quick turnaround here would lead to a bigger P5 job - remember the the “Dino to USC” nonsense? That was his MO at EIU and BGU - wasn’t he HC at each for just 2 years?

Once he realized that this wasn’t going to happen and he was “stuck” in Central NY,  the Hawaii/California in him seemed to lose his fire and decided he would just mail it in and collect a check til the University figured out that he was indeed a gimmick HC whose gimmick had been figured out by the college football world.

As has been said here many times, he’s a great representative of the University but it’s no longer enough for him to warrant keeping his job. 8 years of evidence is enough. We are now fully in the “evidence without belief” era.

I don’t think we will ever return to the glory days of the 80s-90s, but seeing Duke and Wake succeed in recent years tells me that we can be a good 7-8 annual wins program with the right coaching hire. Especially with the portal, it shouldn’t take 4-5 years — if we find the right guy.
