Couple things in our favor this time.

[LIST=1]
[*]ACC schedule

[*]ACC $
[*]IPF soon to be completed
[*]Other physical plant renovations that have been recently completed
[*]Improved talent base across the board, and improving year over year
[/LIST]
The big thing, IMO, is that while GRob made some staffing changes, he was always up against the talent wall and the coaching budget.  With the right staffing choices now, we can be an 8-win team every year.  We don't need to fix both talent and coaching.  I would appreciate an increased budget, yes, but that will come with time (IMO).  No matter who GRob chose, those teams were not going to win a lot of games.  We get the right coach on O, we're good.

And as bad as it's been, upperdeck's point remains.  We execute a few simple plays (drops, throws, etc.) and things don't look nearly as bad.  We're not far off.

IMO our next long-term choice for OC should depend as much on practice plans/habits as play calling.  I think we need to practice differently, to emphasize detail and execution.  Totally uninformed WAG, but there it is.
