Unfortunately I've bought in to this before from Golden and co.
I'll wait until I see the team on the field before deciding whether the attitude has changed.
Excuse me but what exactly did you buy before?
That's the problem, you probably had some unrealistic expectations set on the team when you really shouldn't have and now you feel jaded.
No, we were not going to win the ACC in any of the 3 priors years.
Yeah, last year the Coastal was in sights and it sucks as **** that we couldn't find a way to win it. Golden does deserve criticism for how the season ended, but go back to before that season and many were predicting 7-8 win season with the highest anyone was putting them at was 9 wins. Well guess what that's what we ended up with.. So again, what the **** did you buy before?
Put me in the camp that expected a somewhat competent defense.
Not me, you or anyone else expected to have some of the worst defenses in our programs history.
We were historically bad. Was our talent, the cloud, any excuse that you want to use that bad to be historically inept on defense since Golden came here?
We had bad teams with Coker and Randy. We had horrible recruiting, entitled kids, kids not working hard etc... under said coaches.
Were we ever this bad on defense? Were we this bad on defense in 97 when we were playing walk ons?
You may give the coaching staff a pass but I certainly don't.
Golden has been nothing more but an average/below average coach so far in his career.
Louisville will tell us everything we need to know.
I'm guessing we will give up a sh*t ton of yards on defense again and make virtually every QB look like the second coming of Andrew Luck.
I hope I'm wrong.
