This would be an interesting deep dive with the fan base turning on him so quickly. He has brought fans back into the stands which is something neither of the previous coaches were able to do. He's been able to land some top South Florida recruits more consistently that the previous coaches couldn't and often got played by. He's helped secure a state of the art Indoor Practice Facility, something the previous coaches could of only dreamed of. He's only convinced the University to spend money on him and his staff going against it's typical ways. With all of that he's created a buzz around this team, city and made becoming a Miami Hurricane cool again. So, with all of that momentum how is he evaluated when the team from the eye test and results just isn't getting an better often looking worse? Last year he found ways to win games ugly/late that the previous coaches couldn't and many fans were so desperate they ignored the actual product only focusing on the result. (@UNC last year is a prime example). Now this year he brings in a monster class, pushes out another Golden class and the returners get another year under their belt yet it's not hard to tell from the product or results that all of our off the field momentum just isn't carrying over to the field. Would love to know how the big money boosters and decision makers are feeling going into Boston College as a 2.5 point underdog.
