Dino in close games

[SWC75]

I looked at single-score results: 8 points or less.

2016: Connecticut 31-24W
2016: Boston College 28-20W
2017: Middle Tennessee 23-30L
2017: North Carolina State 25-33L
2017: Pittsburgh 27-24W
2017: Clemson 27-24W
2017: U of Miami 19-27L
2017: Florida State 24-27L
2018: Clemson 23-27L
2018: Pittsburgh 37-44L
2018: North Carolina 40-37W
2019: North Carolina State 10-16L
2019: Pittsburgh 20-27L
2020: Boston College 13-16L
2020: North Carolina State 29-36L
2021: Liberty 24-21W
2021: Florida State 30-33L
2021: Wake Forest 37-40L

You'd think that close games would be a 50-50 proposition since the combination of the team's talent, game plan and performance resulted in a one-score game. But Dino is 6-12 - after winning 4 of his first 6. The math: he's 2-10 since then. I don't what that means: has he gotten worse? Or is it random and he's just on a losing streak? Maybe it's just a small sample: 50-50 is just three more wins. I'll take two in 2018 and one more this year, please.

It means he is out coached in close games.

History is repeating itself, just like the late nineties
