Message: [QUOTE="OrangeinBoston, post: 2370776, member: 478"] You know very well that the record is all that matters. There is too much money at stake for schools whose Fball programs fund the athletic department, and sometimes even academic initiatives, for it to be otherwise. If the record didn't matter, then nobody would give a rat's behind about attendance, revenues generated from ticket sales, concession sales, TV appearances and bowl games. If the record didn't matter, then coaches would never get fired except for moral turpitude. That may be so in the Ivy League, but certainly not in the ACC. That being said, I would be blind not to recognize that rebuilding a program takes time. All I am saying is that we should see a tick upward in year two: 6 wins 6 losses, a .500 record. The team had a golden opportunity against Middle Tennessee and didn't get it done. Now, three games left to achieve that tick upward. [/QUOTE]
