re: The Optimistic Thread @$$hole.

Messiah? Thats quite the title. Don't know what i said to have you going that far.
Have you read the way you speak of the great one?
For Example:
But I'll give ya my reasoning to support him wholeheartedly. He's our coach.

Young. Energetic.
Cool, that doesn't mean squat. When you cant recruit because no one wants to play under your high school staff. Hows he going to work out exactly sitting in the next Jadeveon Clowneys living room? Ya know right after Dabo, Saban, Orgeron, Kiffen etc just left? "Come to Carolina, I'll hopefully be here your junior year. And your position coach has never put a player in the NFL.

Already loved Carolina.
So did Ray Tanner, want me to cover how thats worked out?

Hungry for the opportunity.
Uhhh yeah, because no other football team on any level of college. Not even the University of Arizona at the Grand Canyon School of Mining and Hair Care Design would have hired him. You get that right, he was on not a single other coaching hire list in the entire globe. Not even a college team in Germany (they have that by the way) wanted him.

He's coached all over the field.
Ok, I'll give you this one. The only positions he hasn't coached are Dline and Qb's.

Put together a solid staff.
I think your definition of solid and my definition of solid are way off.

He isn't likely to bolt if/when he finds success.
100% correct, he's more likely to be fired in 3 seasons when he doesn't.

He's likable and comes across great in interviews.
Cool, so was Obama, maybe we can hire him next.

Worked under legends. Is extremely knowledgeable about recruiting and roster management.
100% agree there

And he chose SC to make his name at.
This one actually made me laugh. Yeah, he shut down offers from LSU, Bama, Clemson and Texas. He def chose us, it wasn't at all our BOT choosing him.

And his name carries some weight already due to his family pedigree.
How'd that work out in his first recruiting class? How'd that work out with coaches bailing and no one of any caliber wanting a 2/3 year job? His Daddy was somebody, lets not make out like they're the Bowdens.

He's done a good job so far and handled the Auburn departures with class and hired pretty good to replace them. We dont have bad coaches. At all.
How else was he supposed to? They bailed because they knew it was a 2/3 year gig. I'm sorry you think we have good coaches and he hired pretty well. Literally know one wanted any of what we hired.

And he has reached out to former players to bring them back into the fold.
In my opinion this was the one thing he'll do right that we've always sucked about.
