Voting no just didn't cut it for me. Could you add a "**** no, give me what you're smoking" category?

Depending on how long he's here. With how recruiting has been going, if we continue to recruit well and he can develop guys like they did at temple, we should very good. If the defense get's to top 10 level, and we get really good QB play out of baby jesus or kaaya we will be in the running.
 
I'm amazed that 35% of those who've already voted have said yes.

In order to compete for national titles nowadays, your program needs to consistently...

- Reel off top 5 classes just about every year, with exceptions being top 10 classes.
- Field a near-dominant defense.
- Have at least solid quarterback play.

We're losing out on too many premier in-state targets over the past couple years, and apparently our best current commit for 2015 is going to be extremely difficult to hang onto. Our defense is a laughing stock and I suspect that our performance is a big reason why our CB recruiting has been inept (2013 and thus far in 2014). And quarterback play is as big a question mark as there is on the entire team, at least in the short term.

Unless all of these problems are fixed by landing a much higher percentage of in-state studs, dramatically improving our defense, and hoping one of our young QBs becomes our best and most reliable signal caller since Dorsey, then we're not going to be a legitimate threat to win the conference, let alone a national title.
 
35 votes for yes, pure insanity.

Most posters on this board would have a better shot than this guy. We'd at least know who needs to go on the staff.

I liked your post, but there is still a void that would hinder Al from winning a title. Even if he landed all the top talent. He isn't a great coach and he doesn't surround himself with great assistants.

he'll be here until he's fired, which could be this year. the play on the field will warrant a firing but since this admin is so ******* stupid that they signed him until 2020, we might be ****ed

I imagine that you must be about 30 years old, unemployed, probably on some sort of disability for being a functioning ******
 
I'm absolutely shocked there's 35% that really think this coaching staff can pull that off.

We got any IT dorks in here? There has to be a way to decipher if the same person with multiple screen names is voting more than once.....it's the only explanation cause I refuse to believe there are THAT many people on here that don't know football.

That last thing you mentioned is probably THE most important task that a Head Coach is directly responsible for. It will end up being the major reason he fails here.

It's a **** shame too cause he's a likeable guy. At first I was really rooting for him to do well here...but what I've seen the last 2 years just screams that he's a more well spoken version of Shannon. Stubborn and reactive....no proactiveness whatsoever. He also hasn't recruited anywhere near as well as I thought he would.

lulz at anyone selecting 'yes'.

A better question would be, "Will the canes ever win a NC with Dorito as DC?" Obviously....**** no. and Dorito will always be the DC as long as Al is here.

The naysayers have clearly made their voice heard on here over and over and over again. Just because people keep on repeating the same asinine talking points doesn't mean that everyone believes them. I didn't vote -- I'd probably vote no, but I can see why people would think he can. It's just a matter of how much you "trust the process" and the "trending up" ideas. They're silly ideas, but tough to argue the W-L statistics since he's been here.

At some point, when you mature, you will be able to have discussions like an adult. Also, you have 4 times the posts that I do, though we joined at the same time. But i'm the unemployed ******? LOL.

If he's here for 2 more years, then he certainly won't. If here's for 4+ more that means we're doing well and i think he will win a title.

Perhaps the massive cloud of potential sanctions, the chatter of death penalty and the absolute wet fart the previous head coach left on the program has had something to do with it?

(I'm not even going to count 2011's class considering that Randy absolutely left a wasteland there before he was fired)

2012: 10th (247), 9th (Rivals), 9th (Scout)
2013: 14, 20, 21
2014: 12, 12, 11

Don't think that's too bad with how much he had working against him.

I'm not surprised that over a third of our fan base is clearly full of mongoloids.

Guy can't even win The ACC Coastal, yet people think he has what it takes to win The MNC.
