Is this a rebuild? In some ways, maybe not in others.
He's got my support as much as any other new hire here.
Skeptical, in some aspects and in others, no. I think we'll field a competitive team that can win the ACC here and there, with the occasional BCS berth.
Sorry for the reference, but I'm looking at it like a Bobby Bowden type of hire. A lifer, who is generally more successful than not and hopefully can get us a title or two over what I feel will be a long career.
It may take patience (good luck with our fans) or is he going to win early sans the National Title like Coker did and lose his luster quickly? It's hard to say with this fickle fan base.
I don't see him doing any worse than our last four but what's his ceiling? It's a beautiful thing seeing the program and some key boosters stepping up to make a real go of it. It's something I always said I would believe it when I see it.
So welcome Coach Cristobal. Let's see what you're about and hopefully it works out for you. You've got a big chance here to do something so many former player turned coaches do. It could be a beautiful thing and I hope it is.
