In this season like no other, I'm very happy that the Herd is undefeated.
But....
We're still talking about the guy who punted on fourth and one on the UNCC 30 last year, a game he not only lost but his offense didn't score a TD. With the East title on the line.
If not for IG leaving after what was reported to be a complete meltdown would he be starting this season instead of Wells, given Doc's preference to stick with "his guy" that we've seen for years? I doubt it but who knows.
Yeah, that was a good win over App State but otherwise we've been playing a schedule of teams that are so bad that if they played an intrasquad scrimmage both sides would lose.
I'm still holding my breath for Doc to get this done and not mess this up somehow, he has three games to do it and one is on the road, plus the championship game (fingers crossed) and a bowl game.
We can't build a program on a guy that just treads water, and exceeds expectations once every six years, just in time for a contract extension. It's about building consistent excellence.
Having said all of that this is a good team, we really don't know how good because they have not played anyone that is "really good" too. If you want to extend him a year, OK, to see how this bunch does when they play some teams with a pulse in a non-pandemic year but no more at this point. One good year against a bunch of really bad competition doesn't wipe out all the really really bad coaching since 2014.
