6-0 to 6-6…

It’s amazing… we lost to Clemson (top 10), notre dame (top 20) Florida state (soon to be top 20) and Pitt (a place we haven’t won in 20 years…

The title of the thread is 6-6. We’re 6-4. Get some perspective
Dude, there is losing and there is what was on display last night.
 
In a basic sense this kind of reminds me of the 2013-14 basketball season where we were good (and undefeated, with cracks in the armor that we tried to ignore) and then suddenly we couldn’t win a game to save our lives.

Not beating BC.
They just beat NC State.
6 and 6.
And then get wrecked in a bowl.
No bowl. Negative momentum.
 
They shouldn’t have been, the offense has given up and it’s a damn shame to all the fans who wasted money to watch that crap
Paid $450 for me and my kids to endure ND and FSU. Last time I get suckered in like this.
 
This is my perspective:

2-4
1-5
5-1 (yay)
2-4
0-6
2-4
0-4 (so far

Is that conference record? Fair to use as a benchmark but SU has 2 wins in that department so far
 
No bowl. Negative momentum.
What do you mean no bowl? We are going to a bowl. The ACC has more tie ins than eligible teams and we sure as hell won’t turn down a bid. If we keep playing like last night we will get blasted in a bowl, that’s a different story
 
I'd be a lot more upset about sliding toward 6-6 if at 6-0 I wasn't envisioning potential for that based on past disappointments.
Expectations Conditioning Program working.

I agree. I remained guarded at 6-0 for those same reasons. Moreover, the fact that at 6-0 the much tougher half of our scheduled remained.

There was push back when at 6-0 how some of us posters pointed that out (just as the national media pondered) our schedule to that point had been quite advantageous. Not to mention one of those wins was against a very bad UVA team that literally took a last second FG to escape in the Dome with. And, the win against Purdue where they totally self-imploded after the go ahead TD with those 30 yards of unsportsmanship/misconduct penalties that set up the final stages.

Additionally, heading into the NCST game we, for all intents and purposes, had 3 weeks to prepare for them (Wagner game being a glorified scrimmage and then the bye week) whereas they were preoccupied dealing with Clemson on the road, proceeded by a home encounter with FSU. Furthermore, as fate would have it, State loses their highly regarded starting QB for the season after the FSU game leading into our game with them.

It's easy and convenient to suggest that our downward spiral since 6-0 is due to injuries, but that is nothing more than contributing factors, as the proximate cause and main underlying issues are, and have been, coaching. Just as it has been throughout Dino's tenure (sans the Dungey's senior year) come the perennial late October/November swoons where Dino's record/results clearly speak (scream for that matter) for itself.

Same deal on the hoops side. The sanctions were contributing factors to our downward slide there, but the broader more proximate cause of it has to do with the leadership, etc. at the head coach level, and, all that that implies.

The primary reason for our swoons is that we are not deep enough to cover for the inevitable injuries that every team has to cope with. For example our run game died due to an injury in our first game.
 
He gave Dino the money to hire and retain all the assistants this board was slobbering over this winter.
JW is the solution not the problem
 
I’ve been seeing a lot of quitting going on with the guys who survived injury. Really disappointing.
 
Yes you keep him, I tend to think 7-5 is our eventual record, most of us would have killed for they record in the summer. Some will think it’s disappointing based on our 6-0 start but honestly we didn’t play all that well during that stretch, we just caught some lucky breaks
I don't kill for anything less than 10 wins. Kneecaps or thumbs, definitely, but not full on killing.
 
Yeah. What’s actually “amazing,” are folks whom are seemingly unable to differentiate and decipher losing a game(s) vs. the way in which we are losing them.
We were good for at least one beatdown worse than last night in many of Coach Ps seasons.
 
The dial down of the schedule will help. There's a whole other side of the ACC that we don't see, that isn't very good.
Agreed, I think going forward we will see more consistent bowling, even if it’s lower bowls due to SOS.
