[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 473735, member: 844"] Our target for being good keeps getting pushed out. "Next year" or 'in two years" have been common themes. One of the most frustrating things is we don't seem to develop players. Granted, I don't look at film but it seems like there are 3-4 guys just off the top of my head who are seniors who played a lot as FR/R-Fr. And I don't see them as making any more impact this year than they did 4 years ago quite honestly. I had always hoped for a coach to stay as long as CPJ has. What I envisioned was a program developed to the point where players started as upper classmen only after redshirting and playing some when they were FR/Soph. Players so finely drilled in our system that mental errors and "failing to execute" or "when the leaves turn, the offense churns" were minimized. Take our OL, those guys THIS year have been playing together long enough that many thought that it would be a strength now. I have come to the conclusion that what you see NOW with any of our players and units is exactly what you will see from them next year and the year after. Each year is a hodge podge, random crap shoot that resembles nothing that would expect to see from an entrenched program or system. As a side note, the D does in fact look like it is making incremental improvement. That is encouraging. Look, we all understand that GT has systemic issues. But the root cause of fan unrest is the trend line and how poorly coached this year's team seems to be. I was willing to dismiss the early season performances at USF and Pitt as somewhat outliers. But, I am now convinced that we are what our record says we are. And I have little hope that next year will be better. [/QUOTE]
