Put me in the camp that this board is exactly where it is supposed to be, pissed off, hopeful and desperate for something good to happen. The last 3-1/2 years demand nothing less. Clearly, PP should have never been hired or at least given the boot after his second season. The jury is still out on Diaco, but he hasn't done anything to show that he will turn this program around. Still too early to say he won't but some of the decisions, whether they are long term plays or not, seem odd. And I can't let go of how bad the O-line is. Blocking is somewhat fundamental to FB, the first thing taught after how to put on the uniform. I am more than a bit puzzled that he and his staff, haven't devised some scheme to produce results better than we are seeing against the level of competition we are playing. I recall playing #1 Miami and not looking this out of depth.
It's OK to keep hope alive and to reserve judgment in this first year, but it's not like he's coaching up the track team to play at the Rent, it is a D1 football roster. He needs to do better just as much as the players need to do better. Benign skepticism seems about right to me.
