I completely agree with @ball915. Its not just that very few fanbases are happy. I tend to think that the Portal and the end of the Covid year kids has finally gotten to a point where everyone's roster has a hole or two in it. There are few, if any totally complete teams. The 2025 Canes were certainly a much more complete team than this year's. I think that's common across CFB.
Steve Sarkisian did a really good interview with (I think it was) Josh Pate during the off-season where he talked about the reality of competing at the upper echelon in college football in the NIL era. He talked in a hypothetical sense about landing a 5 star O lineman who cost seven figures to land. However, there's no way in **** he's gonna start that kid in the first month of the season against Ohio State or at LSU or at Tennessee. So you either have to spend your NIL money on a bunch of one and dones or continue to spread it out across the roster, which can leave holes.
I just think every team has some holes.

I don't ever want to feel that cold dark cellar again and watch other teams reap the benefits.
It's not out of the realm of possibility that any team sitting up high right now can not find themselves in that place real quick.
We're talking about people investing millions, and they expect to see dividends at the end of the rainbow.
They expect this team to not just make the playoffs but to make it far because of that money. Nobody is going to keep dumping that kind of money into something to miss the playoffs or watch that investment get sent home 1st round.
20 some years in the basement is a long time, and if somebody gets mad because they see something off. As long as they aren't threatening another person to do physical harm, making things personal or being racist, I don't care how ****ed they get, just keep it team related.
