My main point was you cannot compare a 47 year win % to the next HC's win % when the last HC's win % the last 8 years has been pretty poor.

Going 9-7 last year means we would have needed 3-1 against at Wake, FSU, H & A vs Louisville to get to 12-8. That would be a huuuuge improvement. There is a big difference between 9-7 and 12-8. So there should be complaining.

They did not run off Turgeon for his in season results. It was the post season that killed him. My 22-10 (12-8) is pre NCAAT. We would need a few S16 runs on top of that to be happy.

Going 12-8 will typically get you 4th or 5th in conference. We need to reset W/L expectations and look at standings. We used to play 16 conference games, we now play 20. We used to play a ton of cupcakes OOC, now we play B1G-ACC plus one tournament. The increase in quality will result in more losses. BTW JB's win % in conference equates to a 12.8 and 7.2 record. If we have fans expecting 14-6 every year, then they are idiots.

If we went from 2014 to 22-10 (12-8) people would be more upset. But we are going from 14 loss seasons the last 8 years to 10 loss seasons it should be seen as an improvement.
