The fans were by and large lost well before that BC game. It is just never going to happen that Mack can win the ACC. Masses have finally figured that out. Many now see themselves as having been sold snake oil in the form of a too old coach whose obey goat styrerngth has been recruiting. . They will not be happy to cheer on Mack next year. The Mack craze is over. UNC can beat Moo by 35, and that will not change. The longer Mack is not announced as leaving, the worst things will get for the program.
The only button Mack has ever pushed righty and well is recruiting. In all other aspects of coaching, Mack is either Slightly Above Average or all the way down to Poor.Until we feel like we have a coach that is capable of leading a staff that can help our team "be the best that it can be"; we will be dis-satisfied (to put it mildly). Often, it takes a few years to realize a staff is not capable. It some cases, programs have limitations but you really get the feeling a staff is getting all that they can with the reasonable players they can recruit (I see Wake in that category, Duke, and State the past few years).
It is so clear that we are not doing the best we can do in our football program, and Mack has no idea whatsoever as to what buttons to mash, and at age 73 in "lame duck" mode, it is clear that he has very few "buttons' that are even options anymore.
