Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 4072962, member: 485"] A “good coach” per Kcsu above or “another McNabb” would be fine, but seems like magical thinking. We aren’t going to be consistently or occasionally good (7 wins) unless our recruiting is better, back to back years. By recruiting, I include the portal and jucos — whatever it takes to build solid lines, OL and DL, and enough skill players to compete. We had a decent sprinkling this season with super seniors, Tucker, Shrader, Jackson, Bergeron, our 3 good LBs, G. Williams when healthy, and Chestnut. Enough for 3 good wins and 3 competitive losses. We also had glaring gaps in talent. Other teams in the ACC have that quality plus a lot more. We got physically beat in November by teams that were stronger up front, and had better passers and wide receivers. Keep your eye on how we finish this recruiting cycle and how we do in working the portal. It is all about landing the talent to allow the coaches to compete. [/QUOTE]
