As incredibly disappointed as I am at this point, I convinced myself last evening over a Whistle Pig Manhattan that I am going to mind crush these past two losses and look to the next three games for where I think this program is headed. In this crazy year with COVID and no spring ball and new coordinators and injuries and transfer denials and Rhino playing guard (love that young man) - I just have to see more.
When I watched Dino’s presser yesterday, I began to think that he may be as fed up as many of us are. What I saw at the end of the game when he addressed the team looked to me like a watershed moment. My sense is that Dino, despite whether or not we think he is on a hot or cold seat, has a real sense of urgency this season. He has what appears to be a stout defense with some really strong young ACC caliber players. He has an excellent recruiting class coming in with players that seem to fill holes in the team we all talk about on this board. Dino seems like a good guy, and I want very much for him to succeed and stay on the hill for many more years. I think he has built some momentum here, particularly on the recruiting front, but if he doesn’t right the ship this year, he may lose any good will he has built with fans and then we will be in a death spiral fueled by disbelief with 5 years of evidence.
For what it’s worth, I’m pulling for him. Go Orange!
