[QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1541489, member: 2265"]
I have been an ardent supporter of the staff since the beginning, but there comes a time when I have to ask myself if they are worthy of continued support. If I step back and look at the results and the state of the program I am shocked.

I cannot find a single valid reason to continue down this road.

Shafer's hiring decisions have been poor at best. McDonald and now Lester are on him. 
Failure to recruit at certain positions is also on him. 
Overall recruiting has not kept pace with our ACC peers. We can't improve by staying in the ACC cellar.
Our game planning, game management and more importantly, in game adjustments have been very poor.

In which games has Lester not been out coached, especially in the second half?

On virtually EVERY metric the offense, with the most experienced unit on the team is worse than McDonald's and it is getting worse by the game. After Clemson and BC we will probably be last in the ACC in both total offense and defense.

We are losing to teams just as young as ours.

Where are the measurements and objective criteria at which to point? What magic will happen next year to turn things around?

I am afraid that the job is just beyond our staff.

There is nothing sacred about four years when it gets this bad.
