Message: [QUOTE="Cuse69, post: 3624724, member: 7063"] Matt asked about the quality of the practices. (I missed part of the answer talking to the producer who was setting up my call.) “We can’t travel 105 players like some schools. Some private schools have high tuitions and can’t have all the walk-ons. Some don’t and can. Some of them have 120 players on their roster. We don’t get close to 100. (actually there are 103 names on our roster: [URL]https://cuse.com/sports/football/roster[/URL] The average number of players who actually play in a game is 52.) “I understood those things coming in and we went 10-3 and were a couple of passes away from 12-1. Aaron Hackett caught the pass against Clemson and Cody Conway was a half yard downfield and the refs sure had good eyes. But we don’t have the walk-ons to deal with opt outs and major injuries.” No idea how to quote this so pulling the ole copy and paste. But this is the type of stuff that turns people off IMO, ACC travel roster max is 72 this year it expands to 80, so in a normal year 13 guys on scolly don't travel and I know guys are hurt and red shirt but this excuse just makes no sense to me. As you pointed out he says we dont have 100 when we actually have 103, LOL. IMO when you're failing at the job you currently have and start blaming your employer for your failures you should be shown the door. Obviously probably won't happen this offseason but if it's merit based let him go. Then he wants to say they should've gone 12-1 lol, and what happens if UNC took one of their 20 chances to win the game or NCst picks up the late blitz and hits harmon for another deep ball TD. Tough for me to back someone who's going to make up clear lies and excuses and look us all in the eye and tell us to believe him. [/QUOTE]
