I'm pulling for him, but I will not be overcome by the Gamecock penchant for premature ejaculation.

I was so tired of Frank that I would have accepted any new coach coming in. Frank’s style doesn’t work with kids today. Nobody wanted to play for him.
Paris hasn’t done anything great yet but I hope he will. I like his style. Players seem to like him.

I can't predict how we'll wind up but would be happy to finish in the middle of the SEC after being picked to finish last.
Here's a look at where we are and compared to our short-term schedule.
Carolina 5-0 #31rpi, #131sos
ND 2-2 #168 #114
GW 4-0 #58 #219
CU 4-0 #6 #11

You are so right in that a young guy has more energy and stamina to be a "go-getter" in recruiting. That point was immediately underscored in the huge amount of travel he (and coaches) did in pursuing Butler (unsuccessful) and GG Jackson (successful). I really think that landing and managing GG is a feather in Coach Lamont's crown. This shows recruits that elite talent need not go to a blue blood school to have a good shot at the league.
It has been a couple of years since we played as well as we have in the first 5 games, too.
Middling ACC team = pretty good. Last year we were losing to middling SoCon teams.
I remember his team at Chattanooga beat a good Furman team a couple years ago on a last shot. I think his win knocked Furman out of post season play but not sure of that. He drew up a play getting his shooter open. It was a deep 3 and, of course, his guy had to make it. One final question: why does he always wear long sleeve shirts regardless of weather. Some speculate he has a tatoo he wants no one to see. I keep waiting to see if he will expose his arms.
Yep, that was the SOCON CG.
Not sure why, but he’s definitely leaning into the Qzip deal.
I was against the Paris hire. He was a last second shot away from not being our coach. I was also upset with the whole hiring process.
Last year was a disaster. This year has got off to a nice start and I am quite pleased.
But, he hasn’t accomplished anything yet. A winning record in the SEC will show that he has the program moving in the right direction. The weak OOC schedule is like fool’s gold and is not a solid indicator of what kind of team we are. I think the Clemson game will be our first true test as to who we are.
I like Paris and his style. I like his offensive philosophy and letting the players play to their strengths. There are things to like with what he is doing.
The true nature of the job is getting the right players into his system that are talented enough to compete/win in the SEC. Hope he is the guy!
The Grand Canyon win was against a tournament that will win their conference. It was on the road in their hometown. Don't under estimate that.
Who's yo Daddy! You'll have trouble sleeping tonight. I'll be sleeping like a baby!
