By the curve everyone grades Mario on that last year we were a missed FG, and a couple fourth down stops away from the ACC championship game.
Cool. We weren't improving, as was claimed.

Blah, blah, blah......
We weren't on an upward trajectory, as was claimed.
Compare it to how everyone's grading Mario. A few forth downs stops and a missed field goal and suddenly that last year has nine wins and an ACC championship game appearance.
It’s so funny when people can only point to 10 wins as the reason he’s done well here.

Well guess what - if someone opens a restaurant with no help and revenue is dog**** for 15 years cyphering in new chef after new chef… then all of a sudden he hits the lotto with unprecedented financial backing, buys a new chef the finest ingredients to cook with…spends a ton of money on advertising as a new, state of the art place…and the food is minimally better than before…well are you really any better? Or is it just the actual spending that’s the difference?
But there will always be 15-20 diehards of the place, because they can’t accept reality that the owner is still inadequate.
I don't know The eye test says we were. We lost our big time transfer quarterback and our freshman quarterback improved throughout the year and was out playing first round draft picks in conference games. That seems like improvement to me.Cool. We weren't improving, as was claimed.
It was the same trajectory we are on right now but with zero resources.
Sounds like a lot of political candidates todayGarnered an army of loyalists that don't give af about the results because they enjoy the journey.
No one said anything about the current trajectory. The claim was that Diaz was improving every year. That isn't true.

It is as true as saying Cristobal has improved every year at UM.
I would argue that he is earned the right to finish out his contract more than Mario."But Mario......" isn't really an excuse for Diaz.

I was yelling for Diaz to be fired year one after the GT game. But you did make changes and did well with what he had. I need to go back and look to confirm but I think you recruited as many five stars or maybe more than Mario has.
Everyone was talking about this roster before the year during the year and it took until the 4th quarter to take control of Duke. Duke didn't even have enough offensive lineman to have a pass rush in their spring game. Literally playing against air.
Not defending Manny I'm just saying Mario is terrible. The comparison is justified. It's a pretty terrible world with what we were sold about Mario and that he still struggling to compete against the ghosts of ******* Manny Diaz.
Well in one of my replies to you I mentioned the curve that Mario was given. What kind of pass did Mario get when he lost his starting quarterback? Big one.We were 1-2 with King. 7-5 on the season. That isn't an improvement from the year before.

TVD had moments against UVA and UNC (2 of the games with a missed game-winning field goal and a fourth down stop) but he didn't start improving till after that. Good coaching. So much so that Mario thought he is the best in the country.
Good luck this Sunday!Went to the game versus Newcastle the other day. At this point, I am emotionless with my teams. All the passion has been sucked out of me.

1-2
Loss 1 was to 13 win Bama, which played in the national title game. Finished #2
Loss 2 was to 11 win Michigan State, which finished #10 in the country.
does a healthy king win those? No.
Does losing those two games mean the team hasn’t improved? Well, if we finish the season beating the teams we should have beaten, then I say yes.
There were 3 more losses, all by 5 pts or less. And in two of those, TVD played like garbage. king wins those. You think a 9 win season wouldn’t count as upward trajectory? Ok bro. If you aren’t going to be objective then there isn’t much else to say.
We didn't win 9. We won 7. You sound like SEC shills with the hypotheticals.
Answer my first question- what is this years record if Ward has a bad knee to start the season and doesn’t play after week 3?
