We beat la tech last year and went 7-5.
We easily go 6-6 in 2020 with a non COVID schedule.
We are gonna go 7-5 or better this year. I’m willing to give you 2 to 1 odds on $100.
So in 3 years regular season you want us to fire a coach who went 20-16?
Really? That’s where you think we are as a program?
In year 10 if he is still staying around 7-5 or 6-6 ok. Not in year 3.
But I bet at the end of year 6 he is averaging 7.5 or more REGULAR season wins per year.
We beat LaTech last year! Yay! Hang a banner! Did that game feel like a win to you? We needed 21 4th quarter points and a missed 46 yard FG to win a game against a 3 win CUSA team (and one of those was against an FCS team).
We easily go 6-6 in 2020? That assumes we sweep through the teams that were on our schedule before because 6 of the losses we had were teams already scheduled for 2020 and NC State was 8-4 that season.
To be clear, I'm not saying to fire Leach. To my knowledge, I never have. I'm also not going to act like he's over-performed while he's been here. In fact, I'm not entirely sure he hasn't underperformed and I'm not willing to concede that the reason he's underperformed is because he doesn't have the talent to compete with the teams he's coached against.
And even if he doesn't have the talent that his opponents have, it's part of his job to fix that through recruiting, coaching, S&C, and the transfer portal.
