Let me preface this by saying that I'm squarely in the Fire Al Golden camp, and that the "it's his first year" BS by Shanana sickens me. I'm just playing devil's advocate here with the following, attempting to step thru the logic:
OK. Let's take that "it's his first year" thing at face value. Let's say one believed that. Let's say that you also believe that the talent is here, in place right now, to win the ACC and compete on the national level. If these other teams that Golden coached thru "teh Cloud" didn't count, really, but were building towards THIS coming year (ahem...Golden's "first") being THE year we'll turn it all around as The Troll & Flake Lames would have us believe...
...then isn't the expectation and the floor, not ceiling, that we should win the ACC and go to a BCS bowl? And wouldn't anything less be an abject failure with all the working their tails off and going thru adversity that they cling on to? And then, given that bar--wouldn't another 6-7'ish year (if/when it happens) be enough to fire this dolt and his merry band of faqqots?
Or...alternatively, would this "leadership" talk about how this "first year" was to rebuild, and that the 2nd year...yeah...that's THE year.
I'm afraid of all of that, unless we get a no BS prez that won't take that **** anymore.
