A Coot that FINALLY gets it... from FGF

In response to why USuCk isn't as good as Clemson in football...
"Ok this is tough pill to swallow but here it is .... Expectations and Accountablity . We accept mediocrity and chalk it up to “Well it’s Carolina Football , it is what it is “ and they don’t . Tommy Bowden could have coached here for 20 years and we would have been happy as s@$t to go 8-4 every year and be bowl eligible . Look at Ken Hatfield’s record after Danny Ford .... they fired him for it . We accept that being Competitive and bowl eligible is good enough , they don’t . What does Dabo do his first day , fires his OC . What happens after Tavon Austin and WVU drop 70 on them in the Orange Bowl... DC is fired immediately and they break the bank on Venerables . Elite programs are elite because they demand Elite Results and not excuses . Hell we are already making excuses for next season and the season is barely over . That’s the difference . If we go 5-7 next year I GUARANTEE nothing happens . We blame the schedule , injuries , Spurrier , facilities , referees , global warming , honeybee decline , immigration , Santa Claus etc etc etc .. Its a simple equation .. we don’t win big because we don’t recruit big . We don’t recruit big because we don’t win . We don’t win big because other than 3 or four years in our history do we have coaches capable of beating teams with with superior talent . Sucks but it is what it is . If we would have hired Spurrier from Duke before he got to UF , who knows where we might be . Muschamp has done a hell of a job rebuilding and recruiting but until that translates into knocking off quality opponents the circle keeps going and the Gap gets wider and wider ."
Best way to sum this up?

Coot fans are very similar to the way Cubs were at one time. The exception being Cubs fans didn't desert their team during the game. They stayed for the entire game.

That's really not True, Cub fans can at least look back in history and see that we were once the elite of MLB. Not in any of our lifetimes but up until the 1948 world series (Curse of the goat) we were regularly in the world series. USuC has no such history unless you count the 3 years they won 11 games. Of course they still didn't win their conference save the one in 1969. It happens to be the same year I became a Cubs fan and watching them squander the division to the now famous miracle Mets. So to compare USuC with anyone it may be better to compare them to say well ok no one. Seeing even the Cleveland Browns can go back in history and see they were once something.

Shining the light in the darkness brings great offense to people who love the dark.

Ok this is tough pill to swallow but here it is .... Expectations and Accountablity . We accept mediocrity and chalk it up to “Well it’s Clemson Basketball, it is what it is“ and they don’t. Herb Sendek could have coached here for 20 years and we would have been happy as s@$t to go 18-12 every year and be in the NIT. Look at Matt Dougherty's record after Dean Smith....they fired him for it. We accept that being competitive and in the NIT is good enough, they don’t. Elite programs are elite because they demand Elite Results and not excuses. #### we are already making excuses for next season and this season isn't even over. That’s the difference. If we go 14-16 next year I GUARANTEE nothing happens. We blame the schedule, injuries, facilities, referees, global warming, honeybee decline, immigration, Santa Claus etc etc etc..Its a simple equation..we don’t win big because we don’t recruit big. We don’t recruit big because we don’t win. We don’t win big because other than 3 or four years in our history do we have coaches capable of beating teams with with superior talent. Sucks but it is what it is. If we would have hired Krzyzewski from Army before he got to Duke, who knows where we might be. Brownell has done a #### of a job rebuilding and recruiting but until that translates into knocking off quality opponents the circle keeps going and the Gap gets wider and wider."
