[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 607778, member: 1191"] Prior to CPJ, the ACC was a very different place. The G5 schools hadn't really begun sinking money hand over fist into football like they do now. The landscape of college football then was very different. I don't recall many of the teams prior to CPJ ever being predicted to finish last in the ACC, but then back then Duke still sucked, we played WFU every year, and VT and Pitt weren't in the conference. College football today is a different game, and predicting a single seasons success only on the basis of past season records is honestly indefensible. The records put forth by coaches 10-25 years ago has absolutely no bearing on the record that will be produced this season. None. We can stomp our feet and pout all we want, but we're going to have to beat teams running the same schemes we are with better talent. THAT'S why we're predicted to finish last in the Coastal. It's been universally acknowledged, even by CPJ supporters like myself, that offensive recruiting under CPJ led to some of the lowest ranked classes in the ACC. Prevailing wisdom, which was usually proven to be true, was that the scheme didn't need highly ranked offensive recruits to succeed. Now that scheme is gone and replaced with a scheme similar to what everyone else is running. Yet we will be running it with recruits who, for the most part, were recruited solely for the TO and were largely passed over by other P5 schools. Only one of our QBs had a P5 offer at QB, (Not including Yates, who although he had no P5 offers other than GT, is a 4* QB) and QB is the one position required to be solid for any offense. It's very possible, and even likely, that we only win 3-4 games this year. It's also possible, but less likely, that we win 6. Everyone knew this would be a rebuilding year.
