How many top 25 teams did Shafer beat?
Any particular reason they are waiting? Does the ship have to burn to the ground first?
$$$$¢¢
Uh he won his bowl in the ACC lol. 2013 Syracuse Orange football team - Wikipedia
I respect both of you, and these posts are kind of my point. Seems like you both think SU will suck forever. It’s fine to feel that way. But if that’s the case, then why not just keep rolling the dice and hope we hit the lottery? What’s the point of keeping on with a guy almost no one thinks is anything special? Because Dino’s a nice guy? Hell, I’m an incredibly nice guy and a good leader to boot, give me a few million a year to run an irrelevant football program. I’ll be better at press conferences too.
Maybe not, but their record is strikingly similar in a lot of discouraging ways.
I’m not disagreeing w that dice roll at allI respect both of you, and these posts are kind of my point. Seems like you both think SU will suck forever. It’s fine to feel that way.

I’ll keep saying, I don’t expect Dino to be fired, and I’m not passionate about it either way. I just don’t find the program entertaining. Its become a chore to follow. I’m fine with moving on. Six years is a helluva audition.
Who?
We thought Dino was there, then he wasn’t.
Yep, we thought that for an off-season and 5 quarters. Then it was over, we just didn’t entirely know it yet.
Yup, complacency kills and so does fear of the unknown. And churning through coaches... Average tenure of a HC in the modern CFB era? Its ~4 years depending on how far back you set your snapshot. Churning through coaches every 3 to 4 years is status quo now. IMO no need to worry about a reputation anymore cutting 'em loose after 3 or 4. Its proven Dino cant hack it, move on
It’s a valid point. I don’t know what Wildhacks business style is. He must have hired fired at ESPN. I suspect this isn’t a decision he makes alone.
What complex?

He would not come back. He was a candidate for NFL head coaching positions last year. Just was listed as one of the top 20 head coaching candidates for NFL jobs. He isn’t coming back to Syracuse to potentially ruin that. He is on his way to being an NFL coach.
By bad sorry about the bowl game, trying to forget his years.
Having NE ties is important to maybe keeping a successful coach here. The reason Coach White left Arizona and came to Cuse was because he has family in Queens. I doubt he jumps ship after this season to go back out west
Shafer never beat a ranked opponent.
