You can't have it both ways. You can't say that USC sucks and will always suck, and then have a very realistic ceiling tossed out. 6-9 wind per season is likely the best this program can do, barring some fundamental changes in college ball. Most of us know this well.

I'd say 8-10 wins per season is likely the best average we can hope for ... but most programs do far less. It's not like we'll accept total mediocrity after endeavoring for so long to become relevant. I, personally, will not accept consistent 6 or 7 win seasons ... but neither do I believe that will be Boom's average over time.

USC got caught in a bad time to be looking for a head coach, and we settled for someone needing redemption. If he can bring us back to competitiveness with the occasional SEC CG berth, he'll have done his job, amd done it extremely well.

This past year realized the most coaching searches in NCAA D1 history at the end of a single season. Was it 38, or did it reach 41? I can't remember.

SCAR did fine considering the circumstances and who we were competing against to fill the position.

Mizzou ... notsomuch. Everyone is still laughing at Mizzou.

We're Carolina fans/alums. We know about tempering expectations. But while we breathe, we hope.

We are the epitome of eternal optimists ... always have been. And Boom is going to do well. He'll be here a long long time. We want to consistently finish in the top half of the league, the top three in the East ... and that will be all any program outside of the Top two or three programs in the league can hope for.

We know mUSChamp can recruit, as can his staff, obviously.

Did he learn to be a HC while at Florida? I suspect he did - time will tell.
