So does Mario realize he's lost the fanbase?

He thinks we're a bunch of idiots that don't get it. Its all about banging your head against a wall and just bringing your lunch pale and going to work.

I really don't believe he's capable of serious introspection. God I hope I'm wrong, but there's no reason to believe he'll start now.

Nor should he. If he doesn't hold himself to a significantly higher standard than even the most ardent supporters do, then he shouldn't be in this line of work.

What he should care about, and I'm sure he does, is he's 3-4 in his last 7 ACC games, which means the standard is not being met, and that's an unacceptable, abject failure.

Win games, not fans.
 
Fans don't dictate anything.

The days of flying a banner over the stadium for change is over. It takes one key person to stop giving the school money and Mario will be on the clock.

How insulated is he? Does he ignore all the outside stuff and is he oblivious? Dawson certainly knew everyone was ****ed about the constant up the gut runs so they have to hear things. Will Mario address this specifically?

Dawson has been saying he needs to stay patient with the run game.

Nor should he. The donors, the people who actually do something for the program are who he needs to keep happy. Our fanbase is what it is, and always will be: a bunch of irrational, annoying front runners that haven’t learned anything from us wandering the desert for the last two decades…

Mario is what he is: a talent accumulator that isn’t good on gameday. He wins a ton of coin flip games, while losing games he should have no business losing. The issue is that the odds of upgrading from him are significantly worse than the odds of hiring a train wreck. It’s purgatory, but it’s a purgatory we can live with, or at least until the wheels fall off.

Not to sound like I'm taking his side, cuz I'm not, I think this is generally his ceiling, but the minute he cares what the fans think or say is the minute he needs to go and sell cars or something. Fans are emotional by nature, and if a coach reacted to every emotional lurch a fanbase had every team in the country would be schizophrenic.
