Have you enjoyed a single game in the last 16-17 years?
Just because you "know" a coach will not be the one to return to dominance doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a game or a 5-1 start to the season. I also noticed you stopped at Coker. Remember when you mopes were calling for Butch's head in 97? Where would we be if you mopes got your way?
You're petulant little children. You can't have what you want right now so you'll ruin it for everyone else with your tantrum.
I still think it's too early to judge Diaz bc at the end of the day he is still 5-1 in his 2nd season. I would be ecstatic at the beginning of the season if you had told me we would be 5-1 with the only loss being Clemson of course. The Louisville and FSU games brought unrealistic expectations to many others (myself included) because we thought these teams would be decent; heck, Lousiville was being heralded as a dark horse to maybe give Clemson a good game. Clearly, those teams are just not as good as advertised, but wins are wins.
What drives the mopes and realists alike is that we struggled to defeat a Pitt team on their 2nd and 3rd string QBs, and then somehow managed to look even worse against a UVA team who was 1-4 heading into the game and had one of the worst defenses in the ACC. Again, winning both those games were huge because if we had lost one of them, there's no doubt in my mind all of you (even the slurpers) would be calling for Manny's head. It's the fact that we haven't improved as the season has progressed - in fact the argument is there to say we've regressed since Clemson.
Now the good news is that even through regression, we still managed to win. The preseason goal of getting back to the ACCCG is still very much in our control, which would satisfy everyone on the board because it would equate to victories over Va Tech and UNC. What the realists are concerned about (including myself) is that the product that was displayed on the field vs. both Pitt and UVA will not be good enough to defeat UNC or VT; heck we might even be in a dog fight with a team like Wake or Nc St.
The team clearly has potential, but adjustments need to be made on both sides of the ball if we're going to win out. History says we won't adjust and it will bite us in the a$$, but for the sake of the Canes I very much hope I'm wrong and we obliterate everyone in our path.
One thing is for certain; sqeaking out a 3-6 pt win against an NC st team down to its 3rd string QB won't quiet the masses. At the same time, it would keep us alive for the goal set back in the Spring.
