I joined Canes Connection right after the game

For me, it was never about the money. I needed to see this guy prove it. I didn’t need a championship to do that, but if I can paraphrase @OrangeBowlMagic a bit, the coaching staff is more all in than our fans and I’ll support that as much as I can always

Yup. This **** ain’t rocket surgery. It’s football. And one game doesn’t mean the world. But Larry Coker looked like a realllllllly good coach when he had really good players, didn’t he? Again, this isn’t hard. Nobody has to be a genius to figure this **** out but for some reason it gets lost on people. Football at this level has always been, and will always be, about the Jimmy’s and Joe’s.

Mario still has a LONG way to go. Beating that doormat of a program doesn’t prove **** to me. But this is the blueprint many of us had in mind when Manny started to flounder. This dude has proven he can assemble a roster to do **** like win conference championships, beat Ohio state in Columbus without multiple starters, and win NY6 games. He did it in the middle of Butt****, Oregon. What’s he gonna do when you put him in the middle of the most vibrant city in the country, with the most fertile recruiting ground imaginable at his full disposal, with that U on his chest and standing next to a Brinks truck?? Scary hours, that’s what. And don’t forget, we are just getting started. The best recruiting class in the past 20 years are all 17-18 years old. We haven’t even scratched the surface of how elite he can make this roster yet.

Canes to the moon.
 
These reporters still don’t understand recruiting. Money is the motive, but it’s not the sole motive. Napier has no history of being a relentless recruiter willing to take the time to form relationships with the family, friends, and coaches around a recruit who will influence his choice.

Hey @DMoney - the Dennis Dodd (yeah I know) article today about Cam and nil delivering results mentioned that the canes collective goal is 10 million annually which is only about half of what Ohio state is supposedly doing. Can you comment on that one way or the other in terms of the ability to compete, long-term, if that’s the case or is his information just wrong.

I believe Lane Kiffin said he would be shocked if OSU is actually at $20m

Can appreciate that thought going into figuring out the value prop of this. Realistically a video call is better than nothing, but I really don’t expect anything super meaningful to be shared, and it shouldn’t when you know every ACC team will would just have a staffer or family friend subscribe for access if there ever was. So the main value prop for me and others I expect is just the participation factor.

Some ideas to enhance that:
- Do Canes Connection exclusive events, including player/staff meets. Exclusive watch parties etc.
- Do a subscription box model where every month folks get some swag, including something autographed by a random player. Each player on the team can autograph X number of items, if each do a 50 sigs a month (can just sit down and knock them out in 10 minutes) then you can have ~4000 items to distribute at random each month. That also creates an incentive to *stay* subscribed, since this month you got a walk on signature but next month you might get Ward who knows. Throw in the occasional alumni signatured items etc and you can mark up the **** out of the swag and everyone knows the proceeds are for recruitment efforts.
