I've been saying that as well, but we just looked horrible against VT. It looked like we weren't prepared at all. I knew this was going to be a rebuilding year and injuries have made it worse, but it's more than that. Let's see how the team responds now that we definitely won't be bowling. If he can keep them together for the rest of the year I'll feel better going into next year. If he can't I expect next year to be his last.
Briles knew he could run on us and he did. It was the worst match-up possible for our defense. A great team had a month to install a new offense that we had zero tape on.
You're cute and growing on me, but no. I would place you above HTS, especially regarding your football acumen. We have people itt doubting Fedora so much that they won't even consider him a good coach. My mind is blown.
Yeah I don't really give a shit what you think about my or anyone else's football acumen lol.
But he can win at Texas A&M though. You know, the same guy that has a losing record against duke is going to be able to beat Alabama, LSU, Auburn and UGA. To be fair, he did admit in another thread that he was drunk when he was writing a lot of that. Of course, that was pretty obvious without him telling us.
Exactly. You simply can't glean many things, if anything at all, from this season. I know the gut reaction is to freak out and say "fire everyone," and trust me, I get that lol. In the heat of the moment of watching us get beat by a veryyyyyy mediocre UVA and Duke team we have no business losing to, it's tough to not hate everything about it.
I agree that is the only fair judgment for this year, however when you look at his total UNC career play calling has been a long running problem. So it's not just the ridiculous idea to throw a pass when you're in your own end zone this year. It's also about not giving the ball to Hood in the south Carolina game and having Mitch throw 1,000 times in the UGA game (including a screen in the end zone). Those are just a few examples.
Yes, these are valid criticisms. That's why I said "almost nothing" can be gleaned from this season. It's absolutely fair to question WTF we were doing in the ND game running from the shotgun on our 1-inch line.
I'm wondering if that is due to Kap playing two roles though. Our OL didn't seem to be much of an issue until recently. Like you said MW and Mitch could have masked the issues, but maybe a part of the problem is Kap just can't handle the duel roles
Kap is only OC in title. It’s to get him more money. Fed is grooming Heck for the OC spot.
Yeah, Heck calls the plays.
IMHO, the O-Line being inferior isn't new to this season. And keep in mind, we don't necessarily face elite pass rushers week in and week out. The two best DLmen in the ACC both play for Clemson, and we avoid them 5 out of every 6 years. Settle is pretty good, though, at VT and y'all saw how much he dominated our OL.
Exactly, and it's not translating into on-field dominance nor sustained individual NFL success. Bodine and J. Cooper were 5 years ago at this point. Guys like Bentley Spain are coming in highly touted but aren't turning into stars. Spain is a shell of his former self this year. I'm not sure he even has a shot at an NFL future at this point. Other 4**** guys like Mason Veal have yet to amount to anything thus far (but Veal still has an opportunity in the future). Some guys like Prince have just been busts.
I'll be happy to move an inch once Fed does things a top 15 coach normally does. Like being ranked most seasons, multiple above average seasons, win multiple bowl games. You know, things like that. Right now he's not even one of the best coaches in the division. Saying he is top 15 is comical and makes it hard to take anything you say seriously.
I don't disagree with any of that, but it's hard for me to imagine Fed getting rid of Kap. Like you said, he's been with him forever.
Doesn't really bother me. VT isn't the only school that has a twitter account that throws some shade.
I really do despise our fanbase sometimes.
I couldn’t believe the comment from the commissioner of the fan police on raidar.
Right? The hypocrisy from so many on this board (and in our fanbase in general) is amazing.
I think college soccer is bad for MLS and the USMNT. But I follow their record.
UNC soccer is bad for the sport? The hypocrisy from so many on this board (and in our fanbase in general) is amazing.
No, dude. The existence of college soccer is bad for American player development. Nice try though.
