agreed, not disputing the need for more time to get the talent that has come in to progress but what we have seen the last 4-5 weeks has been horrific.  GROB level type bad and that is a concern.  Losing your starting QB should not result in just 100% throwing the entire season down the drain.  5 wins should have at least been somewhat attainable.  What we saw Friday night was a joke and again looked like a staff and program nowhere near on the same page.   Fran fired his WR coach who he brought in just this pass off season after 9 games, that is not good.  It's pretty apparent that things are not going well on or off the field right now but that's what losing does.  Needs to bolster his staff and roster and get back to winning at least 7-8 games next year because losing is one thing but noncompetitive losing and shuffling staff around 9 games into the season is not a good look at all for a program that is suppose to be building.

Losing your starting Qb should not send the entire program into a death spiral.  I think other non factory programs have survived, played some competitive games and maybe even won or game or two.  I think that has happened before but apparently it's unreasonable to have that expectation.  I just think those on the offensive side of the ball wanted to continue to jam a square peg in a round hole. Last week was just a prayer and quite honestly a joke.  Sometimes, competing and working hard is trumped by experience, critical thinking/ problem solving, and acumen.

Figuring out a way to beat a horrible Boston College team would be a nice way to end the season as well. Crazy I know.
