How do you know we won’t get better? And why have you lost hope 6 games into year 1 more than you lost hope with Randy (4-3 in first 7 with a 40 point loss and losses to GT at home and UNC) or Golden (2-3 first 5 in year 1 with losses to Maryland, Kansas State, and VT) or Richt (4 game losing streak in the middle of year 1)?
I’m not defending Manny in any way, I’m just saying it’s kinda silly to say you’ve lost “this much hope” when we’ve lost 3 games by a total of 16 points, beat a ranked team, and are playing one whole senior on the entire 2-deep on offense. I’ve been as critical as anyone, but you’re certain the offense won’t improve over the next 2.5 years when it’s filled with freshmen and sophomores? Ok.
3 games we shouldn’t have lost at all and beat Virginia, who didn’t deserve their ranking. I’m concerned about the defense, leadership and decision-making of the HC. The offense will get better. Randy couldn’t get a good OC and by all accounts had poor social skills, while Al & Mark chose friendship and family over the program.
Manny seemed to have recognized the impact nepotism had on the student athletes and remedied that by summarily dismissing the entire offensive staff, but then somehow repeated the mistake of both predecessors by hiring his unqualified friends—who’ve performed so poorly—that seniors quit and he was forced to reclaim command of the defense. This, 5 games in w/ a 2-3 record after preaching the “standard” all offseason...I’ve seen enough.
