FSU/Clemson are trying to keep up with Ohio State and Alabama.  We are trying to keep up with Pitt, BC, Rutgers and UConn.

Our last five coaching hires are Fran Brown (great start,but no prior HC experience), Dino Babers (FCS/MAC 4 years of HC experience), Scott Shafer (internal hire/no prior HC experience), Doug Marrone (worked well/no prior HC experience), and Greg Robinson (#$%#$, no prior HC experience).

Have we ever decided to go spend to hire a top coach?  We did not even do that in basketball to try to retain status as a top 10 program !!  So let's not pretend that lack of money alone is the issue.  We get more money out of the ACC than we got out of the Big East but DID NOT invest that into football or basketball.  At the very least, we should step back and let some more money go into the programs that want to win titles and perhaps can.  Nice that we hired Fran last year and he is talking about titles.  I can understand FSU and Clemson doubting our committment though... too late perhaps.
