We barely beat UNC because Morris went full ****** and threw an @ssload of picks.
Its amazing how people just cant be objective when they go overboard with bullsh*t. Now the team was utter garbage. We still managed to go 9-4, in Division 1 football, and in the ACC. Something we hadnt done in SOME years. So it couldnt have been THAT f8cking bad. I mean we were ranked in the top 25 for half the season. And guess what f*cknuts, that included the COACHES poll, so many HCs out there felt we were more than just a pile of dogsh*t. There were FSU players after the game in Tally saying we were the best team they had played and that we played them **** tough.
Look, this doesnt have to be one extreme or the other. No one is claiming this was some superstar team with Duke. BUT, Duke was the heart and soul of the offense, and our best player on either side of the ball, anyone claiming that losing him was not DEVASTATING, is full of SH*T. Period. And Im not claiming that we would have won 11 games if Duke doesnt get hurt, but I think we would have been much more competitive in those games. I think we have a decent shot to beat VT and Duke. No running game = fast paced offense all on SM's shoulders, which led to the defense being on the field the whole game. A terrible defense at that.
Things are going to be a LOT better next year. Getting Duke back, having Yearby, and Gus with a year of experience and another offseason of working out and learning the offense, will give us a LOT more depth at the position than we had this year. Throw in Powell in situational work, and our offense has MUCH deeper dimensions than it did this year. I also think RW is going to give the offense many more options, utilizing the TE more, the flats, the middle of the field, throwing to our backs, slot guys, and be able to get first downs.
If we can just get the **** defense fixed, I think this team will be very competitive.
No one here is claiming AG is some great coach, or that he's definitely going to win big here. But we have a lot of talent coming in. Talent that we simply DID not have before. At WORST, I hope that AG may be able to leave this team as stocked as Butch did. Because frankly, all the b*tching and sH8t people here are saying, are the same things people were saying about Butch in 98 and 99.
They said the same thing last year. Plenty returning and our D got worst. Golden has been given 3 years no expectations, after this saga, he has to earn it. And am sorry people don't blindly believe in a coach, there are signs that make u see the eventuality. There is nothing we can hang our hat on for No D. We do nothing well on D. No defense that fields, Deon Bush, Tracy Howard, Gunter, McCord, AQM, Chickillo, Perryman, Jenkins should ever be this bad.....ever ever. Those guys were recruited by everyone and their mommy. Thats a failure on the coaches. No defense has 11 stars. Some of the guys are just guys who know where to be and do the small things right. We are not bad, or average, or below average. we are terrible, simply atrocious. You would have us think just time and another offseason is gonna fix it, sorry they used that card last year when we returned almost everyone on defense. And to not be even respectable with that many returners is inexcuseable. You can act as if fans know nothing and are just unreasonable and that is disingenuos. We go to games and sit there, taking time from work, paying our hard earn money....however few we are. We have seen great defense, and bad at Miami. None of reach the levels of lowness with even less talent and more sanctions..... even under said Butch that you referenced. Who had a team that was actually under actual Sanctions, crippling ones. Our situation was bad for recruiting, thats it. Al Golden is not some high dude above criticism, he his a coach looking out for his buddy and his family. And he will high tail out of here just as any coach would. The way he has developed this cult following is mind numbing. Not even coaches who have actually done and won things don't enjoy that. He has not achieved anything here or anywhere. Simply hanging around his not enough. Performances have to count. And for every Butch Davis there are 5 Ron Zooks
