There's room for optimism-- but we still need to see more improvement

This team has played better offense than last year (deceptively). Despite major mistakes (VT, GT and 4th and 17 vs UNC as well documented), the passing game has improved substantially. 2018 passing stats of 2077 yards, 19 TDS and 14 Ints including the bowl game led to 7-6 record. 2019 passing stats through 10 games is 2676 yards, 24 TDS and 5 Ints. We still have 2 games to go.

if we manage to get to 8 regular season wins (big if), I would buy into a good transition season for the team heading into next year. Not to mention the upwards trajectory of the last 3 weeks and hopefully the next 2. With an OLine getting experience our future looks bright on the offensive side of the ball.

And don't forget....

Canes lost to UF 24-20....

UF is currently #10...

JT muffed a punt inside the 10..resulting in easy TD for Gators....

...and Canes had several chances to score in 4th quarter...including 2 missed kicks


This team has always been on the verge of being good-- but there was still too much inexperience, "disruptive culture" and a new offensive system they were trying to integrate...

Now they are "gelling" and beginning to understand the system and how to work as a new team....

As a result we see evidence they can dominate....

What they need TO PROVE NEXT is they can do so CONSISTENTLY to finish the season and potentially take that into a bowl game....

This would be the last important piece of the puzzle-- bringing the improved game to EVERY GAME....

Bruh those are excuses. You speak as someone who doesn’t follow this team closely. I would expect someone from the outside to think that. But when Manny said “rebuild” even the ESPN ACC Analyst and local Media ripped him.

The team last year underachieved. Everyone knows that. You don’t go from the #1 defense to rebuilding especially when you Sr. Core (who are also considered your best players) return.

Manny has underachieved in his first year as well.


He has 2-4* and 1 -5* QB
He has 4* and 5* RBs 4 deep
He had 4* WRs 5 deep
He has 4* o- lineman that “apparently no one can coach up.”
Defense sr. Lb
One of the best dlines in cfb
And a 4* secondary.


Ask any coach in the country outside of Clemson, UGA, Bama and OSU and OU

Would love to coach this roster.

Yes there is marginal improvement and the chance for Manny to take a steps forward and prove he’s a capable head coach.

But naw bruh install a new offense or not. This wasn’t a rebuild and there was no excuse to lose to the bottom feeders like we did.

We have had 1 top ten class in the last 5 years. #8 a few years ago. And we have done terrible in rerankings. Coaches outside the five schools you list aren’t dreaming of our rooster. We weren’t in the portal hunt because we are loaded. Hopefully, the roster OVERALL improves over the next few years. We do have a thin layer of stars. Need real quality depth.
