If you can only win with 4 and 5-star kids then you can't coach. We have more talent than most of our league. Instead of doing less with more how about more with less such as Wake Forrest, NC State, BC, etc.I’m so sick of the bashing of baker. You have elite teams giving up a lot of points on defense like LSU and Bama to name a few. You got guys who are starters on defense who don’t execute proper technique like shedding blocks making open field tackles and not making a play on the ball when it’s in the air. You got defensive ends flying upfield on power and zone. Then you have podcasters saying “ we play to much zone” I’m not playing man coverage against a mobile quarterback like hendon hooker or the UVA QB who can run. I mean don’t you think guys like Rumph and Banda talk to Ed reed about best technique and scheme .. like duhh...and bolden has look like **** the pass couple of games and he’s light in the ***. He better stay another year. Blades sucks too like really some of you guys don’t know football I trust my eyes and you guys that constantly bash Rumph and baker don’t have a clue I’m telling yah. YES BAKER CAN DO SOME THINGS BETTER but the defense has displayed on many occasions that they can get stops when it counts! Case in point the last two games in the fourth quarter Ivey got a pick (HE MADE A PLAY) defensive line stepping up against NC State (ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MAKING A PLAY) players gotta make plays bottom line. We are not littered with 5 Starr kids it is what it is. We have no consistency with backer play. Is baker the best coordinator probably not but it’s NOT HIM OR RUMPHS FAULT.
Yes, we are winning. However, to some fans such as myself we are only marginally better than our opponents who "do more with less." Just because we sucked and underperformed last year isn't a free pass for this year. The last two games we won, could have been losses if a few plays had not gone our way. The team deserves credit for winning, but from a fan's view, we are better in some areas and worse in others. The main difference this year is FG kicking. That has secured the last two wins on top of King's performances.
We are 108th in penalties nationally and 11th in penalties in ACC play. That doesn't require talent. The things that "need to be fixed" are the same things every week.
Speaking for myself, I just want to see a solid complete game from the coaches and players for 60 minutes. One that is steady and machine like. Perhaps that's too much to ask for.
We are a passionate fanbase. When fans stop complaining, the program should start worrying because that means the fans stopped caring.
