To piggy back on this -- If you are forced into hiring an inexperienced Autry you then definitely do not go and hire an inexperienced football coach.

I don't think people appreciate how big a missed opportunity 2024 was in football.  We absolutely had the NFL talent/favorable schedule to win what was a horrible ACC and only managed to go 5-3 in conference/against P4 teams with NFL talent running all over the field.

Fran lost the fair weather fan a long time ago because even the wins in 2024 were absolutely excruciating to watch.  UNLV was a comedy of errors, GT/NCSU/Cal we had to cling on for dear life after completely outplaying them, Wazzou was so decimated they had no business being in that game at all, hard to watch FCS win, Uconn, Ohio's "NFL draft prospect" RB, and a miracle comeback OT win against a very bad Vtech who was playing with a backup QB (I was told this year mediocre teams with backup QBs could not be competitive).  Miami was the only win where you could sit back and say "yeah, our guys played well, that was enjoyable."

If we start anything other than 4-0 this year the dome will be a morgue, because the fanbase (other than the people excited we paid a ton of money to a developmental 5 star WR) is already long checked out on Fran.  Even when it was good it wasn't a fun product to watch, which is wild to say given the offensive numbers we put up.

It's another debate entirely but I suspect the poor bball attendance is not solely about bball -- it's the fans telling the university "we find your entire sports product unacceptable."
