I am surprised if anyone thinks that Dino hasn't done a great job at Syracuse.Point is - get all ranked, beat the crap out of crappy teams, fail against your biggest opponents = not next level that we’re looking for. MM did that. Not impressed.

I am a closet Arky fan. I was excited when Bielema went there...he did not pan out, actually he bombed.I don't think there are too many people who think Bielema did a good job at Arkansas. Just as it would be hard to find someone who thinks he didn't do a great job at Wisconsin.
So I don't know what to make of the guy. Obviously in the right situation he can be great. But his most recent job is more likely to tell what he is today, not the job prior to that. Arkansas seemed like it would have been a great fit for him, but he lost that team for whatever reason and he really struggled to recruit.
Agreed. Someone should ask Dabo how he thinks Babers is doing.I am surprised if anyone thinks that Dino hasn't done a great job at Syracuse.
Again, I think people would have said that about MM 2 years ago. Or 6 games ago. Not arguing that he didn’t/isn’t. Just saying I don’t think he’s the next level guy we’re looking for.I am surprised if anyone thinks that Dino hasn't done a great job at Syracuse.
This conversation is so much fun. As is said in the ketchup commercials, the anticipation is making me wait! Enjoy the ride boys and know that we will be drinking fine whiskey when this process is over!
Context is always important. If you can't look at Babers at Syracuse (or Campbell at Iowa State) and appreciate what they've done so far, then you are restricting your list of candidates to Nick Saban, Chris Petersen etc. Just because MM ran out of steam (and made countless mistakes) doesn't mean the next guy must.Point is - get all ranked, beat the crap out of crappy teams, fail against your biggest opponents = not next level that we’re looking for.

You probably think this thread is about you.Bastardization of a perfectly good Carly Simon song.
Wait, what? Site mods edited your profile and posts? Surely that’s an exaggeration/ joke?

Uh I'll have you know we're currently covering gas vs. charcoal grilling in the "Mike MacIntyre getting fired effective immediately" (or whatever) thread.Everything is about me. Haven’t you noticed? I can’t go anywhere on this website with my hordes of fans. You all rant and rave but I’m the one who gets to laugh at how off topic you all go over a simple comment.
Just send them to Evanston, WY. Buy them a drink and give them plenty of ones for the Strippers. It's like Bahrain for the Saudis.The BYU fans really really hate us for some reason.

My biggest concern with Babers is the weakness of the ACC. Besides Clemson, it’s a trash leagueContext is always important.

Objectively look at Babers given the context.
1. Is he a good recruiter/evaluator? Just because he wasn't top 25, was he still out-boxing his weight class? Does he value it? If he has good recruiters on staff, and he has cred, he can close them (I'd expect anyway).
2. Is this his ceiling at a coach? Is this even his ceiling at Syracuse?
3. How much success is based on key assistants and would they follow? (avoiding Hawk/CP)
We can find "concerns" with every respectable candidate out there. I wouldn't eliminate guys like above who've had amazing success because their turnarounds look like MMs.
LOL holy ****. Thanks for your input Jim.The only clear solution is to bring back JL. .
We are close to being a good team. We are young. We could be a very good team next year and the year after. We play a particular 3-4 defense that we have recruited to. We have recruited to more of an air raid style offense.
What we don’t want is someone who will come in, tare down everything down and rebuild. Then we would be looking at losing for another two or more years and you could expect some painful transfers.
Ideally we wouldn’t skip a beat. Ideally you’d like to keep some of the coordinators. You’d like to keep the same schemes, just with some adjustments. You’d like to keep all of our good players. There are many things at CU moving in the right direction. We need to keep them moving in the right direction.
There is also a need for sober realism. I want CU to win the National Championship, but this school is not going to be competing for a national championship in the next four years. We CAN BE a continually ranked team with national respect. Just being real.
We also are not a major coaching destination and we are cheap-even when we are generous by our own standards- we are cheap. Just being real.
The only clear solution is to bring back JL. He is familiar with the program, the AD, most of the staff, and many of the players. He wants to be a HC again. He was the driving force behind our 2016 season. He took S Florida from no team to a nationally ranked team faster than any coach in the history of the NCAA. It is generally accepted that he was an elite P5 level coach before he allegedly slapped a child. It’s been a decade since that happened.
JL is the right choice - stabilize the program now! Do it now! He could even come back and coach our bowl game.

That's why you should be holding an open 40 of Steel Reserve at all times in your quest, in case the flames get out of control.Made it to the stadium....
My 1981 Chevy Silverado is struggling with a flaming couch in the back. The cold windy day is doing wonders for me in my jorts, but damn I look smooth with my Red Seal snuff slicked back mullet.
No sign of Holgs yet. ****... The Red Bull.
Hopefully, my Chevy will withstand the small inferno in the bed while I run over to Sheetz.
Pray I'm not arrested.
Absolutely. But no question they are much better in short order under Babers.My biggest concern with Babers is the weakness of the ACC. Besides Clemson, it’s a trash league

By this, I assume you want RG to limit his candidates to five right out of the gate. That seems like a brilliant idea.He's not top five for you, but should be on the short list? How long is the list?
