So...Let me get this straight??? We have a head coach in Muschamp as well as an OC that inherited a team that won 3 games the year prior, inherited a roster full of players that everyone said did not have any talent, and led them to a bowl game in their first year?
Check...
We have coaches the very next season, that coached a team full of young talent at key skill positions, dealt with significant injuries to some of our best playmakers at WR, RB, TE, and OL, yet still competed in all but one of the games on our schedule and currently has the team tied for the 7th best season out of 110 seasons of Carolina football with a chance to tie for the 5th highest win total in a season?
Check...
And we have fans trying to run coaches, recruits, ADs, etc...out of town? Are some of you guys crazy???!!!
Check.
Look I get it, the offense is not where we want it to be, heck for that matter neither is the defense, special teams, etc...The whole team still has a lot of work to do. To be honest there were times where I would scratch my head by some play calls, then there were other times where I saw a perfect play dialed up only to be wasted by poor execution! I get it. As much as I saw the weaknesses, I also saw great effort by our players/coaches each time out, I saw brilliant half time adjustments throughout the season, I saw players and coaches being good ambassadors for our school, and I saw continued progress over last year.
Some of you so called Carolina fans that won't show up, support our team loud and proud, but will be the first ones to criticize...Do us all a favor and go fight in the stands at that school in the upstate...Better yet take your black, give away your garnet, and grab some red so you can sniff the butts of our neighbors to the west!
The rest of us level headed fans will continue to support and enjoy the progress of the team. Until proven otherwise, allow Muschamp and the guys to continue to build something special without having unwarranted heat from the fans that only make it more difficult to win. When did Carolina become a school where it matters more about style than wins on the field. I caution us to be very careful. I have a feeling UF, UT, and several other schools will continue to find out the hard way!
P.S. This is why sports in general are beginning to lose its luster. Fans are using these games to fill a void that sports can't fulfill and are holding onto a game to take them away from a crappy reality vs actually changing reality. When grown men are living vicariously through these athletes, and somehow these athletes fall short of expections, it brings out venom from the most docile of creature, high and low, far and wide, man, woman, child... The game no longer becomes fun...enough of that....sigh
