Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 471666, member: 485"] I think I get what you are saying here, but this (SU head coaching role) was a role Doug wanted 5 years ago, and most likely his best path into a head coaching role at the time. Good fit, both ways. Still a good fit -- and he would know the pros & cons when he started (had to rebuild a fallen program) and now (ACC is a better league, program is in better shape, but still needs better fan support and resources). As to the "powers that be", why do people believe the chancellor and BOT don't respect the football program and its importance to alums? It is a matter of degree and resources. Incremental investments are being made, more will come as the ACC has its impacts with $$ and some higher profile opponents, and it would sure help if more fans showed up, more fans joined the Orange Club, more fans paid up for premium seats.
