^^^ this...People won't want to hear this (certainly not believe it), but this likely isn't going to be a year 3 pop, it's going to be year 4. He waited too long to do the bigger purge.
There will be more players that look like ACC players, but too many of them will still be too young/inexperienced.
2019, the schedule lines up, the players should be ready at all positions. I think that's the take off year. Another 4 win year wouldn't surprise me, or overly concern me. A 6 win year would thrill me.

I would agree with you, except for 3/4 of the season we looked like we were better than a 4 win team.People won't want to hear this (certainly not believe it), but this likely isn't going to be a year 3 pop, it's going to be year 4. He waited too long to do the bigger purge.

Agree with overall in general. But with both lines, the QB, RB and S positions all coming back and year three of the system, a two-win upgrade is a pretty sobered mark. We just need to win all the non-ND OOC games to put us in position to be there.
I think that our over/under is about 6 wins.
I doubt we win more than 7, but I also doubt that we win less than 5.
IMHO, 6+ wins and Babers' seat stays cold. Less than 6 wins makes his seat hot (but he is staying until at least the '19 season).
2019 will either be the breakout year, or it will be the move on year.
Our best QB is also our best RB and tends not to make it through the season.
If Dungey's healthy, I'm with you.
If TD has to step in, I just hope he's as good during the game as people want him to be.
6 wins would be great. I think it can and will happen. We need to have our team stay healthy and we may even be able to get more than six.
4-8, 4-8, 3-9/4-8 means that there is evidence that the system isn't "promising."Short of an absolute disaster both on and off the field, I don’t see the seat getting hot.
Even if we only win 3 or 4, I don’t see the point. We can’t keep changing coaches. This guy has a promising system, is recruiting well, and has already shown something with one of our best wins ever last year. Let him be. It can take time. A hot seat for THIS program at THIS point after only 3 years would be a joke.
I'm giving HCDFB 5 years...I think 6 wins is tough in year 3 but as Chip said there is a path though. Our recruiting is better and the needle is moving in the right direction. We showed signs last year but ran out of players and had a few bad breaks. No corners have been turned yet though. To be clear though Nick Saban is not walking though our door either...I think continued patience is required...I have seen enough of Dino to patiently give him 5 years. If the right progress has not happened by the end of that season, then AD JW can do what he needs to.
