I love stuff like this.
When the kids suck and don’t perform and get moss’d and pushed around and can’t tackle and drop passes….it’s cause the coaching sucks.
But when they drop dimes and hang onto the ball and make tackles and open holes….it’s cause the players are good.
Do yall realize how insane you sound?
Here is the truth:
It’s an above average talented team, no more, with glaring holes at certain positions, and it’s poorly coached overall. At the same time, the kids are equal in blame for not making plays they’re in position to make. Add it up, it’s a 4-4 team who is basically equivalent to App State, Pitt, UVA, UNC, and NC State. It’s not as good as an 8-0 MSU and not nearly as good as Alabama. This team is about 5 plays away from 6-2. It’s also about 5 plays away from 1-7. Because it’s who we are, just about as good as the teams we’ve beaten and lost to (except the HS team we beat and MSU/Bama). The other 5 games were coin flips.
But you can’t say the kids can’t make plays because the staff sucks, and then when they do make plays the staff is irrelevant. Again, fact is this is on EVERYONE. Not just Manny, not just Lashlee, not just Hall and Ivey and Jennings etc. everyone is complicit in this team being basically a carbon copy of every other ACC team.
