I think the most important thing about special teams this year is getting all those starters off the kickoff/punt/return units. I've never seen so many starters playing ST before. The backups need to step the **** up and make **** happen on ST. The amount of starters playing ST definitely needs to decrease.
ALOT of coaches like to have starters on special teams. Not a big deal.
It's still the goal, and IMO always the minimum criteria for a successful season.
So, how will we do it? Can we?
VT and UNC will be better, I can't see Fuente regressing and he took over a program in decline and went to the ACC CG. Fedora is a clown, I stand by that, but they have to be as good or better, 2016 was a rebuilding year.
I assume we have to be much better offensively in 2017, have much better playcalling, even assuming rightly that our D is better,
We have Free Shoes, which arguably puts us one game in the hole. (Playing them in Tallahassee, with a freshman QB, and they will be better, and have an experienced QB albeit without Cook). Even if we win, we still have to beat VT and UNC, and not slip up against the other Coastal clowns.
VT at home, at UNC. Two game schedule for the Coastal. (If @Pitt is a question mark, we aren't Coastal Champ material).
How do we do it? Can we?
I'd say again our big "Next Year's Class" needs a Coastal Championship as a prerequisite.

UNC and Va Tech lose a lot of firepower. We have no excuse losing to any team but FSU.
Period
Just fire the fūck out of him and start over again. Excellent strategy. Sound thinking.
You are one brilliant motherfūcker. So, genius, who would you recommend as our next coach?
If Richt doesn't win the Coastal this year that means that he'll have won 2 division titles in the last 12 years. While coaching in 2 unbelievably bad divisions. (The SEC East and ACC Coastal)
I don't know who I'd hire. But I'd search for a coach who can win divisions at a higher rate than that.
If the acc coastal is weak as you think it may be and richt can't win it then yea, you may have a point but I don't know if I'd go as far as firing him. A lot of it rides on how Miami's qb performs and if his play in hinder'd or enhanced by richt via play calling/ game planning/ scheme etc.
He clearly won't get fired, so it's stupid to even think about it or discuss it.
But I get the gist of what Cane707 is saying. He'll know Rick isn't a championship level HC if he can't win the Coastal this year, and we'll likely just be trudging along at 9 or 10 wins per season with the occasional Coastal title as long as he's HC. He's saying that's not good enough, and he'd just move on right away instead of trudging along.
Agree. He's not gonna get fired. Doesn't deserve it IMO. At this point. We'll see how he manages this qb situation. That will tell alot
Fact: Fuente and Fedora did more with less compared to CMR last season. Assuming they will be better, or at least the same, how is it a given that we win the Coastal?
I call a ban for any clown who is bragging about our great season in 2017, the shoe in easy schedule, then resorts to "Freshman Quarterback, wait till 2018! CMR will have HIS players then!"
Nothing I've seen here makes a argument that compels me to believe we beat VT, UNC and the rest of the garbage Coastal.
