I think it’s fair to say that we’re not very good at this point. But this is where I’m really curious.

How good of a coach (and staff) is Fran really?  I think we can all agree that he’s a great program builder so far. Great, that’s a huge part of the battle. But, can he coach his butt off and bring this team along to the point where we can be competitive with this schedule, especially since it might be weaker than anticipated?  If he can step up to the plate and deliver, and win with this team, which is seemingly not good, well then he could be sensational for us going forward.

I’m not all that confident because I think we lack the players on this team.  Unfortunately, I just don’t think the D line is good. Period. We also lack playmakers and have remaining question marks in too many other areas. Obviously the O line is one as well.

However, my remaining hope is that Fran is really the real deal and can guide us to wins that I don’t expect. That he surprises all of us against a schedule, while less intimidating, is still formidable for a SU team which lacks the aforementioned talent and also has a ton of youth. If he can do that, not only does that make this year successful, it suggests incredible possibilities on the horizon. For this I’m still excited to see what we do next starting with Clemson.
