Shafer took over a better program so his job was easier. But Dino has had 6 years to make improvements. Is our roster next season really all that different than the one he had his 1st season here?

Shafer vs Dino in the ACC

ACC Win %
S: .2917
D: .3125 current, .300 if we lose the next 2, .340 if we win the next 2, .320 if we split the next 2
Unless we win the next 2, that isn't much of an improvement.

Against teams we play yearly:

Clemson
S: .000
D: .1667 
This is a big feather in Dino's cap

FSU
S: .000
D: .200
FSU has been significantly down the last 5 seasons. I would argue Dino has been poor against FSU.

Louisville
S: .000
D: .200
Louisville has been down the last 4 seasons so again not sure this reflects well on Dino.

Pitt
S: .000
D: .200 current, .1667 with a loss, .3333 with a win
If we lose to Pitt it will be a blemish for Dino

NC State
S: .3333
D: .200 current, .1667 with a loss, .3333 with a win
If we lose to NC State this will be a bad sign for Dino

BC
S: .6666
D: .500
These are about the same

Wake
S: 1.000
D: .3333
This is a big difference

Our peer schools (BC and Wake) Shafer was 5-1 against. Dino is 5-7. Both of those schools have passed us by. It is great that Dino beat Clemson but you can't also be under .500 against BC and Wake. Otherwise you have no progress overall.
