[QUOTE="Techster, post: 840067, member: 360"] This is the most talent on BOTH sides of the ball I can remember us having since the 2008 team. We are nowhere near having that kind of team under this staff. Someone will need to convince me that a decent coach doesn't get us wins this season against: NIU, UVA, VT, Miami. As mediocre as Clemson is this season, you can make an argument that we should have beaten them as well. IMO, we should have at least 7 wins right now. This is a down year in the Coastal (and ACC overall), and with the talent we have on the roster, we should be in a battle for an ACC Championship appearance. Instead, we are going to roll into the offseason with an almost certain 3 straight 3 win seasons. The baseline at GT should be a bowl game. From 1997 to 2014 we went to a bowl game. GT had the second longest bowl streak in the nation at one point...and there was a time we made 19 bowl games in 21 seasons. There's no reason why a team with this talent shouldn't make a bowl game. Instead, we're talking about the CGC line of 3 wins. Bowl games have never looked so hard to achieve...and over half the teams in the NCAA end up going bowling. I have an uneasy feeling that the ultimate outcome for CGC is inevitable...now it's just a matter of how much TStan is willing to swallow. I'm sure some of the big money guys will be patient as quite a few of them were the ones that pushed for CGC. No one likes to be wrong...unfortunately, it's the people who pull the strings that made the CGC decision. My worst fear is CGC makes a bowl game next season and TStan gives him some ridiculous extension "for recruiting purposes" and we continue to struggle even winning 4-5 games. Unfortunately, our sports leadership has a history of making really bad decisions that have saddled our athletic department for years. [/QUOTE]
