Well, I think they're better. And we'll find out of course. Really, my opinion doesn't matter. I've been doing this a long time, and only one time did I say 'Oh, this team's really going to be good.' But I think we're faster, I think we're a little more athletic. We're still young. I love (new offensive coordinator Mitch Browning). I think he has a great history, great pedigree and accomplishments. I don't know what all that equals, but I think the team is better than it was last year.
It's kind of one of those things. We'll know if they are better than last year. I don't think it's that complicated. I think you'll know, just as well as I'll know. If it's not good, we'll know that too. Greg (Robinson) will know it. He'll know it before we know it. He's a big boy. He's held up the Lombardi Trophy. He's seen every level of football, on and off the field. So he's sophisticated and he understands that we need to get better.
Well, I think you have to look at the program, and the fact that we just changed the coach three years ago. If you're in the football community, you go 'I don't know how good a property that is, that Syracuse football.' So if you're changing coaches quickly, there's not a lot of logic. People on the outside will go 'They're bad, they're changing coaches so quickly, that's not really right.'
In life, you have a chance to do things that are fair, and I thought this was fair. He's got some of his players in and he thinks they have a chance to be good players. So we'll see.

Richard Ben Sager = The epitome of the expression "forest for the tress"
With people writing open letters to the AD and voicing their comments on all sorts of websites, they should be courageous enough to send them to Daryl directly. (Continued…)
