Pretty much the way I see it.

When people say “five years,” are you saying five years to earn a bowl bid? Or five years to put the program on stable ground?

I’m not sure the fan base will tolerate two more years without a bowl.  Duke managed a bowl again this year. FSU is rallying for a bowl. BC is going to back to back bowls. Wake is in a bowl. Our schedule was brutal, but we need to find a way to get back to a bowl pretty soon. We can’t stub our toe against Western Michigan to start next year.

As mentioned, can Babers make the adjustments defensively? Can he recruit a productive tailback?  I was a bit concerned when he was surprised how quickly ACC coaches were able to make in-game and in-season adjustments. Is Babers finding this more difficult than he imagined?

Sure, we had injuries this year. A few key ones, including Dungey. But not a rash of injuries. We could face a year with far more injuries than this year. So, yes, we need to develop depth and keep recruiting at a relatively high level. It’s going to be hard for Babers to keep pitching Orangeisthenewfast unless he can get over bowless seasons.
