This thread is proof that our fanbase is in denial about the talent level that we brought in. We are currently 13-11 with 7 games to go. The most likely outcome of those 7 games is that we go 2-5, and then lose in the first round of the ACC tournament to finish 15-17. We went 14-19 last season.

That’s an improvement of 1.5 wins with the exact same coaching staff. The talent we brought in was only marginally better than last season. 3 of our transfers were bench guys at their prior schools, only Nait George was truly a high value signing, and he’s been a huge disappointment. We have 4 guys scoring double figures per game, only one of those scores more than 12 per game. The only incoming guy performing significantly below their last stop is George.

I think people play Red up to be a worse coach than he is so they can act like the same talent with a good staff produces a good result. The reality is, we have about as much evidence for that for last years squad as we do for this years team. Either a good coach gets both to a good record, or neither was sufficient from a talent standpoint. I tend to think it’s the latter.
