Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3319707, member: 9450"] It's a big "what if" and totally impossible to prove either way, but from what we have all seen with RE2.0,he is playing the same style of out-of-date run first football he was a decade ago and is unwilling to change. Maybe if he stayed and the OBE didn't break up we wouldn't have hit the lows we are at right now, but as long as Edsall is leading the charge with his out of date style I don't think we would be able to keep up with those willing to embrace the offensive minded change. There's a reason other than conference affiliation and retched stench of losing that he can't attract the same level of talent other schools in the group of 5 get. No kid wants to play in a run-run-pass-punt offense anymore. I digress on this topic. The main point I was making with the UConn football comparison is that unless a new coach who is willing to embrace the modern day style of college basketball replaces Beoheim (and until a new football coach willing to do the same coach shows up at UConn) neither program will be at the level its enjoyed in their glory years. As Bob Dylan once said "For he that gets hurt, Will be he who has stalled... For the times they are a-changin" Edit: Also you're right that it's probably been a decade since both UConn and Syracuse basketball have been really good (like top 10) all season long, but we have finally embraced the change on the basketball side by getting Hurley, so I am hopeful that we will start trending in the right direction [/QUOTE]
