Going to go all Debbie D here, but until we get some answers on the financial issues within the AD that I posted last night, I don't think it matters who we hire, and I don't care.  The subtext of Doug's leaving is that his work is done here.  He is a tremendous coach who has taken this program as far as he can.  7-5/8-4 is our ceiling no matter who coaches here, until we get better institutional support for the football program.  Why should he stick around beating his head against that wall?
 
I think he was very disappointed in the fan support, especially after he worked his ass off pounding the pavement and pressing the flesh when he was hired.  I suspect there were promises that haven't come to fruition also regarding facilities, and four years into it the AD has dropped the ball in his eyes.  He has cited both issues as holding back recruiting, and I think this year's class was the last straw.  Remember when JO said we were realistically involved with a bunch of very big names?  I can hear Doug saying, " it.  I'm not going to bust my butt and work my assistants so hard if we're chasing shadows."
 
I'm waiting to see what the school and the AD do with the ACC transition and money.  This all makes no sense, and I fear that we are going to be the poster child for penny wisdom and pound foolishness.  I mean, seriously, we are about to see a net $10M increase per year in revenue stream and we're still waiting on donors?  That's abdication.
 
I fear that the ACC just got a spouse who is going to let herself go as soon as the ring is on the finger.
