Thanks for reading. I will try and make this brief.
1. Are we expecting too much from Manny as a first time head coach. To me he has seemed like a head coach for the last 3 years. Defense has dominated and he exceeded ALL my expectation as a DC every year. Why can't he do that as an actual Head Coach? I think there is going to be a lot of pressure on him to beat UFag and win the Coastal. Our schedule is set up to do so, but the pressure to do it as expected. Here is to hoping the best for Manny and I like to think he will do fine.
2. How will this new Offense click. I know Enos has the talent, but can he get our men together to run the offense correctly and even more so, efficiently so we can score an average of 30 pts. a game. If he can, then we should have a fun season. I think he will be able to, but who knows with our QB situation (I hope is good) and our O-Line. We definitely need a couple new guys on that O-Line to really step up and perform to help Dan.
3. LB position we are a little thin, however, I do think we can move 1-2 guys around and give them reps to suffice. Hopefully the boys hurt (at least one of them) can get back in time to help us by Gayturd time or the freshmen Brooks can kick tail. Hope to be alright, but one injury away from being in "oh ****" mode.
That is it. Opinions welcome. One other thing I worry about, will my drinkin' this year be because the season is fun or to drown my sorrows?
GO CANES Beat those got dam Turds, badly!

Idk if I'd say his defense has dominated. His defenses have been very good but they have some weaknesses that can be, and have been, exploited. If anything I'm worried the defense slips a bit this year because he is now the CEO which means less time on defense. But hopefully Baker can step in and not skip a beat.

What I do know if that our offense can't get any worse than last year so agreed with you on the 2nd point.
 
I'm worried that none of the Quarterbacks is good enough. I though Williams gave us the best chance, but it appears he may not be ready. I don't have much confidence in Perry (admittedly based on his performance in a crap offense) or Tate (Doug's Flutie's are few and far between).

Most defenses will eventually be exploited when the offense can't stay on the field & they're continually losing the field position battle. Manny's aggressive/attacking style defense (which isn't going anywhere) is much more effective playing downhill with a lead. There's no telling how much a competent offense & punting game will help this defense. I actually think they'll be better than last year's once our safties get settled in.

I would worry about our O-Line... but nothing I can do about it... so no worries... enjoy the show.

Nothing worries me, but I think there is a disconnect between our fans and reality. The predominant sentiment on this site is that we should win at least 10 games and anything less than that is a disappointment. Well, Vegas has us at 8.5 (not including a bowl game). And, last I checked, Vegas is pretty **** good at what it does. I want us to beat the projected win total, that should be the barometer of success. If we get 9 regular season wins I'm not going to sit here and say it was a failure. In fact, I'll think Manny did a good job.

Fact is nobody here really knows where this team is right now.until a few games are played we truly don't know what to expect.with a new first time hc,new offensive staff and philosophy,first time starting qb unless it's Perry and a sos o oline anything can happen.there will be a few hangups /mistakes made during this season that could cost us a couple games.hope fans here don't go hari cary on the coaching staff and players if this season doesn't go like you expect it to.we fans need to give this staff time to weed out the bugs in the system.

In today's big time athletics, a new Coach gets one poor season ... but not two.
 
Theres one thing that can ruin our season and that's INJURIES. But the same goes for every other team in the country.

Manny has shown he can adjust, which is an extremely important quality to have as a HC. Enos appears to be a perfectionist. Hes the most qualified OC weve had in more than two decades. And he just left, by choice, a position where he had the same responsibilities for a team that's in the NC every year. Saban may be a **** but Enos would of had it easier at BAMA.

We need this team to stay healthy!!!! We are too thin a LB and too young in the secondary. And I dont have much confidence in our OL. Counting on a freshman at LT is tough. But if that freshman goes down I dont want to think of what that OL will look like.
