In every season there are always variables. We could win a lot of games and not win the coastal, if we lose to the wrong team, and end up with the same conference record. There is always the injury thing, Duke proved that last yr when he went down and so did the team. Thats not a coincidence.
I feel like it is fair to expect to see some major improvement. We have heard for years how important senior leadership is and we have it this year. We have plenty of upperclassmen to lead this team, we have some ELITE playmakers, and we have some speed on this team as well. There are enough pieces in place to expect this team to improve on last years 9-4 record. Regardless of schedule. However, we could win ten and still not win the coastal, and that would not necessarily mean the season has been a failure.
The most disappointing thing for me has been the Louisville game. We finally get to a bowl game and come out and just plain **** the bed. I felt like AG lost the team, because if they wanted it you would have seen a much better performance than that. I honestly, would not care if we won eleven games this year if we came out and just plain sucked in a bowl game like that again I would want to see some heads roll. I feel like the pressure on the defensive staff is fair ( I don't agree with ppl moping about it in every single thread) but it is fair. We have the talent to have a good defense every year. We should not be that bad. Your scheme should require ten AA's for it to succeed.
I am getting really excited for the season. I come to this **** site daily, and its not because I want to crap on my canes. I support everyone on this team and wish them all the best. If they leave or get fired then see ya later and I will support the next round of players/coaches.
LETS GO CANES!!!!!
