The Northeast has been wide open for a college team to break out in football.  I think most of us thought bringing in Babers and his offense to the Dome would rejuvenate Syracuse football and it really hasn’t happened.  There is an opportunity for Syracuse to be a consistent winner if they are able to attract top Northeastern football players, but that is not happening right now.

As for HS football in the Northeast, there are positive signs out there despite the tough demographics.  There are now developed 7 on 7 competitions that are happening in the summer.  The passing game is becoming more highly developed, but the Northeast does need some better coaches.  Look around college football at the decent QBs coming out of CT, NY, NJ, and PA.  We have Will Levis at Kentucky, Tyler Van Dyke at Miami, Devin Leary at NC St., Phil Jurkovec at BC, Drew Pyne at Notre Dame,Kenny Pickett at Pitt, Jack Coan at Wisconsin,…  Unfortunately, none of them are at Syracuse.  Why?  Probably the recent record and it seems Babers has never really connected with the local recruiting area.

One more point on HS football.  If your HS coach is still running the 3 downs and a cloud of dust offense, you are going to lose kids and fan interest.  You need a good coach who will take the talent in your HS and create schemes to help them win.
