Quoting a great line, [I]"opinions vary."[/I]  Who knows?  What do you think Babers would be doing at a place like UConn?  Do you think Babers gets this UConn team (any for that matter) to a bowl with all of the aforementioned head winds, etc. and being left without a chair when the music stopped?

And, with all due respect, I don't know how you can say, intelligently, Marrone was "middling," considering the deep abyss the University had fallen into after Grob.  The fact that he was able to get SU to that [I]"middling"[/I] level and back to respectability was a monumental feat in and of itself.

Furthermore, the immense head winds he faced relative to the university's lack of commitment to infrastructure, facility improvements, etc. Marrone begged and pleaded for an IPF and he was basically told yeah, some day, when it was already a day late and a dollar short.

Meanwhile, Babers has been afforded, let's just say, a night and day difference in that regard.

No doubt the schedule the last four games has been much more difficult.  That's why I remained guarded at 6-0 due to the favorable schedule to that point, along with considering the last second escape against a bad UVA team, and Purdue's  self implosion at game's end.

However, I don't think losing these last 4 games is what is causing some folks to lose perspective as much as in the way in which we've lost.  Our offense (where we haven't been affected by as many injuries) appears completed disfunctional, especially the past two weeks where we failed to even score one TD.  The lack of personnel at the TE and WR positions, etc. in year 7 of Babers.  Moreover, the fact that every year (sans the Dungey 10-3 season) Babers' teams consistently go into the late October and November swoons.
