I am not making excuses for poor record, and have been hearing from writers and TC that this is a rebuild project and we are only in year 2
Actually, did last year even count? For ANYTHING really, other than Bama because they can run around with a trophy and claim that they were the champs of the oddest year in CFB since WWII???
Norvell first came around as coach AFTER Taggart was fired in November , had to scramble for recruiting (early signing period killed us i think?!) and had barely a month or so as HC before COVID hit - new staff had ZERO time to gel - it is what it is.
So 2020 was "sort of" Year 1, and we saw a glimpse of how good we could be when we played UNC - but the reality of the year is that it really wouldnt count as a normal year under any circumstances.
So if there was ever a time to claim maybe last season was a HALF year, it would be 2020.
So, here we are, its Year 1.5 really. We have seen glimpses of greatness in a couple of games over that span.
I just think we are in the right place, with the right coach - the players are learning, slowly, how to win and are buying what Norvell is selling.
Its technically still his first year, albeit later in the season..
Just my two cents
