Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 2347476, member: 331"] It better not or he gone! We can all conjecture and guess what Dino will do. At the end of the day he will have to weigh the pluses and minuses and make the best decision for he and his family. There is no reason that Syracuse can't be someone's destination job. It's a little bigger than most "college towns" but its got everything you can find in a college town and more. He will get inquiries from a lot of schools because not everyone considers Syracuse a destination job so why wouldn't he consider their school and town? Most of these will be wasting their time and Dino may never even know they were interested. Dino may actually want to settle somewhere for 10 years or so until he is ready to retire. He can pursue all his goals at SU including championships. He's coached at schools that are in all 5 power 5 conferences so he knows what is out there (disclaimer: TA&M was not in the SEC when he coached there). He also knows what comes with being at higher profile schools and has seen how those communities relate with their head coach and program. I can't remember how old his youngest child is but that can be a huge factor along with his own age. He can obviously coach longer but Dino will be 65 in 9 years. Not a lot of time to keep moving up (or to keep moving). My personal opinion is Dino is not jumping at the next good job that comes along. He probably has a very short list of places he would leave for. One school that may be at the top of that list in a few years would even be a step down in "prestige" and "national opportunity" would be the University of Hawaii. Born in Honolulu. Played for the Rainbows. From what his resume says he hasn't lived there since 1984. Might be a pretty attractive place to Dino to coach out his last few years before retirement in the islands. I have to admit that does sound a little more attractive than retirement in Manlius! [/QUOTE]
