First, I am very cognizant of how low the talent pool and our record was when Fedora left. Immediately, Mack attracted much better talent, attracted our best quarterbacks we have had at UNC, and we immediately became relevant. Mack also loves our university and is committed when other coaches would not have been.
But, when this sites podcast gives him a lot of credit for the performance of Mack 2.0, they ignore many key negative things that have gone on. You are asking us committed fans to be tolerant of a 7-5 or 6-6 record when week after week, we see breakdown in fundamentals in coaching. Time management botches have been recurring since year one. Discipline on the field with penalties beyond he norm. At least one game per year, having the team absolutely "not show up"; last year in Raleigh being the worse ..........until this year.
And Mack is 73 years old. It does not take a rocket scientist to see (by what we are running) that week after week, that our opponents coaching staff has schemed precisely to attack our weaknesses, while we appear to only "run what we run". This is both offensively and defensively. Even with Drake, we did the same thing, not recognizing that other teams defensive coaches were going to throw the sink at us. I DO NOT BELIEVE OUR COACHES WORK AS HARD AS OTHER COACHES, OR THAT HAVE NOT SHOWN THEY KNOW HOW TO ATTACK OUR OPPONENTS. I do concede t hat this year it is even harder on the offensive side since our QB talent and O line are down from prior years.
This does not even go into the judgemental topic how a coach is able to press the right buttons to make their players perform.
So at his age, even if Mack were have a good finish to the season, we must see some evidence, I MEAN ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL, that our coaching staff is doing a good job of getting the most out of the talent we have, week end and week off.
WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT DURING ANY OF MACK 2.0.
