[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 590880, member: 2175"] I ask this in the spirit of genuine puzzlement, and because I just don't see it. And that is the return of GT to its glory days as a national power. I thought 2014 was just about dead solid perfect and we were so close to the hated Seminoles in the championship game, and then beat up on MSU in a game that could have been called on a mercy rule, an even then, even then, I did not think we were NC caliber. I see too many obstacles, too many barriers. We have the advantage of the Coastal Division, but I'm not foolish enough to think it is not going to get a lot tougher sooner than later -- let me be the first to say UNC is going to shock some people this fall; the coaching alone will account for some wins (and I don't mean genius-type playcalling but preparation and coaching quietness on the sidelines and not a frenetic dashing too and fro by a guy who knew where the end of his rope was and kept trying to avoid it). I would like to be convinced, but in this one I really am a skeptic. (You know, like wondering why if we have space satellites that can read an automobile license plate, something the size of an oil tanker is barely recognizable even if it could lead to war. It is just natural I suppose.) Very good, yes. Division champs, maybe. (But like the guy at Clemson said several years ago in another context, if we're going to get it then it has to be soon because later all those teams will be rebuilt.) In the meantime there will be the inevitable shakeout and shakedown with coaches quitting, getting fired or burning out, and the biggest assumption being that Collins is the guy to get us there assuming everything else lines up. Moreover, is he any good at player development? I don't think it unfair to note his high hurdling job resume, and a couple of years doesn't really develop anybody. I don't think that question has been addressed by anybody with knowledge. I get it that a different scheme might attract better athletes, but it doesn't change the fact we are still in a catfight with a dozen major programs. though it could be said that at least we'd be in the fight. I have more questions than answers. Maybe Reagan got it right when he swiped it from the Russians and made it his own: trust but verify? [/QUOTE]
