I'll pose a question. Clemson with all their elite talent and Dabo college HoF coaching experience was projected to win 11 games this year by everyone. I think most of our fanbase said 7 wins was about where we would land.

So both our teams finished 4 wins less than expected. I also like to watch what Coach Prime is doing and they seem to be following the same coaching trajectory. Both our teams finished ranked last year and then we had the same record this year, basically hot garbage. Also throw in Florida St with their endless NIL and money being thrown at college football with nothing to show for it.

Obviously people are just more vocal and emotional because the historical and uncompetitive ways we loss. I still believe that's just coaching style. Fran just benches players that don't perform both on and off the field. So when you start getting to 3 or 4 or 5th string guys it's going to get ugly. This is the portal era, when a kid gets benched they know they're on to their next stop. That's how Fran sold them in the first place, he said the best player will play and if you do DART you'll play. What Fran didn't see coming was what happens when you hit that critical mass of players that don't care. Basically Chernobyl.

I'm still watching the portal and for major coaching changes. 2 years in a row of this I'll say burn it down but for now let's see what he cooks up in the portal and with putting the coordinators in their place. I expect major demotions so they can learn from more experienced coaches.
