The lamenting seems somewhat extreme..... Our football program has been dead for a couple of years. Last night, some of y'all finally took a pulse. Accept reality. What did we expect? We hired a coach with NO P5 head coaching experience. NONE. Look at the experience of our DC, for that matter. Said it before, the renaissance man was a long shot. We went cheap and also looked for a compliant personality. Bush-league decision makers.
All along I caught hell for saying this: "Norvell has my full support (will continue being a booster, ticket holder), but he doensn't have my confidence. I need to see some improved play and some wins on the field to earn my confidence". Many posters seemed enraged at that rational perspective... This loss might be part of the renaissance man's "learning curve", maybe he improves, he could... I hope he does, but hope is not confidence.
Several years ago, I called us the "Tennessee of the ACC"... caught hell for that, too. Said were in the same boat as Tennessee and Nebraska. Lamblasted as hyperbole then, seems fairly apropos now. Today, I'll put on my FSU hat, get lunch at my favorite diner, laugh at the smart ass remarks from the locals, and will be watching the Wake game next week, with the hope that somehow we turn it around...
