As you may recall, when Dino was being recruited he very early on had his agent tell schools he was done and he was not entertaining other offers. He had his job and it turned out to be Syracuse.

He had immediately understood the possibilities of the dome for his style of play. He knew he could recruit here and succeed in the ACC, as good a conference as there is.

This is a smart confident guy who took a huge pay cut to be a HC at Eastern Illinois  - he bet on himself big time. That bet has paid off.

If he is happy and is winning and believes he can compete at the highest level, he will stay. He won't need the last dollar to do so either.

Just look at how Charlie Strong was treated at Texas and Sumlin at TAM. I am sure that has not escaped the attention of all potential black head coaches.

The ACC has changed things at Syracuse. We have 20 million more each year with much more on the way. We have finished paying off the Big East exit fee. We are in a great conference that has national attention.

We are a small school, but so are TCU, Miami, Baylor, Duke, UVA, Pitt, Wake Forest, Navy and even Notre Dame.

In short, at SU Dino can achieve any professional goal he may have in a far better environment for himself and his family than anywhere in the SEC or for that matter, the ACC.

I think he stays and retires here.
