Where do you think Dino ranks...

[OrangeDW]

This is exactly why I want a coach with a winning pedigree and unique offensive system

Which is exactly what Dino was when he was hired.

At this point hes Red and Rotting. Bottom of the barrel. However because of covid, injuries, and economics he has a chance to resurrect himself at the same school that hired him to resurrect its program.

Again, not how it works. All these schools aren’t on equal ground. A lot harder to win at some schools compared to others.

But you all know that.

Good luck on your witch hunt in the middle of a pandemic.

The NFL is pretty flat earth, everyone gets the same budget and a chance to draft the same players. Context context context...

Witch hunt in the middle of a pandemic? Huh, that's a peculiar response to my post as I was simply presenting the facts relative to his win/loss percentages and where he likely ranks regarding those objective stats. The OP is somewhat subjective, so anyone can choose what they see fit as the reasons, excuses, etc., as to why it is what it is.

I don't disagree with you in your view that all these schools aren't on equal ground and harder to win at other schools, specifically like Syracuse as I believe you're implying. However, Syracuse (very fortunately) was gifted ACC membership, and with that, the winfall and ensuing privileges afforded to it because of P5 inclusion/standing. It's difficult to use the $$$ argument any longer as the reason for SU's position or plight. I'm sure there are numerous schools (G5 and the like) that wished they had that particular problem and all that excess dough to burn, meanwhile somehow still being competitive and not a laughing stock on the field.

My expectation, as others here, is fielding a competitive team annually that finishes somewhere in the 7-5, 6-6 area. I don't believe that's a bar that shouldn't be able to be reasonably attained based upon the resources available and that the ACC, outside of Clemson, is typically pretty mediocre. Also, with general mediocrity of the conference being the case, the occasional season that yields that wonderful 10-3 mark of '18 or similar.

In regards to your "Guy has one of the 6 seasons in SU history with 10 wins" comment; to that, I would say it was spectacular. However, since we are in year 5 now, combined with his other 4 seasons to date, that that year appears to be an outlier. Dino is paid quite handsomely, I believe I read here in the realm of $4 mil/yr. with that extension. He needs to earn his pay, and by that, that is winning more games then he loses IMO. He's got a lot of work to do in that regard. With Dino only being a head coach of 9 years in total, 5 of them at Syracuse, he needs to stop talking the talk when he hasn't proven he can consistently walk the walk.

CBS has us ranked 98. Up 9 from last week...lol. (we are ahead of BG, who has gone 12-36 since Dino)

I think he will make a bowl, but the seat is as cold as a Syracuse winter.

The bleachers in the dome will be just as cold when only us lunatic 5,000 or so diehards show up for games

That’s never happened. There has always been a core of 20-30,000 that are always there no matter how bad we are. Though COVID will undoubtedly hurt attendance for awhile even when fans are allowed again.

If there is still a COVID restriction next year for the 5K.

If full capacity is allowed next year, I’d be SHOCKED if we didn’t lose 30-50% of our season ticket holders. Casual fans? Back to 2016-2017 level. We were doing SO WELL going into 2019 and have squandered it. Die hards aren’t happy either. Maybe the draw of a new dome will help, it likely will, but prepare for embarrassing crowds.
