It was predictable. I’m glad I didn’t bother to watch, much less attend this year. I don’t need the frustration or depression.
Our long term trend is to perform in the middle third of the conference and occasionally worse. I was a sophomore the last time we won the ACC in football – and I’m growing old. Not to mention that was when the ACC had half as many teams.
If we want to do better we need to look to how other schools that have gone from mediocre or suck to the top tier have done it. Baylor, Oklahoma State, etc. come to mind recently. Years ago it was Bowden and Beamer that turned around losing programs. Maybe Doren is the answer but I’d be interested in seeing some comparisons between those programs and what we’re doing or not doing. Is it all coaching and recruiting? Money? Administration support?
Unfortunately, from what I’ve seen so far, my expectation is that we will continue to revert to the mean. We hit that perfectly this year, again.
