to me it started when they, in an almost panicked fashion, decided they needed to find a new QB. It's tough on a team to see the guys they worked hard with, shared pain and sweat with, etc shite on so some new guy gets the nod. Especially a guy who couldn't even start on a not-so-decent ACC team. factor in the loss of Coach Bobo and the OL coach Will Friend + the hiring of yet another failed NFL coordinator and the picture becomes clearer.

It all goes back to a HC who isn't very bright, is a bit lazy in his hiring practices (Martinez, etc) and somehow dissociates himself from the reality of the day. His postgame talk to his players seemed to be like he was outside the program and was charging the players with all the responsibility of what happened. Narcissism and Stupidity are a very, very, very bad combination.
