Something to chew on besides BBQ this weekend. We all know that Spaz was a disaster and had a 4 year record of 21-29 overall, 13-19 in the conference, never beat SBCC, never beat a ranked team and when trailing at the half was 2-21. I had a chance to look at the next few years schedule and this is is how it is shaping up:
Teams facing 4 times:
Syracuse
Wake
Lou/Maryland
Clemson
Va Tech
FSU
NC State
Army
FCS (Villanova,Rhode Island, Richmond)- I just lump them together. They are interchangeable IMHO. And they should all be wins.
Teams facing 2 times
USC
NMSU
Duke
UNC
One -Offs (as of now)
SBCC (2015)
UMass (2014)
Buffalo(2015)
A couple of open dates but you get the gist of how the schedule is shaking out. Dazz signed a 6 year deal. I figure we have him for better or worse for 4 years since if he kicks butt, he will move to a Top 10 program after 4 years or if he is Spazz Redux, 4 years will be enough...Given the Strength of schedule, his recruitng and the overall direction of the program ( I know there hasn't even been a snap yet) what do think the likelihood is of him having an overall winning record after the 2016 season, what the record might be, and does he leave after 2016 to a bigger, better deal, get the boot, or stick around through his contarct, which ends in 2018.,. I say he wins 65% of his games, with an overall record of 31-17 and he leaves after 4 years to take over a perennial Top 10 program somewhere. Dazz is a college guy, so I don't see the NFL in his future.
Long and short, the over/under is 31 wins, 4 year stay. How far off am I considering the above list of opponents? I know, lots of tme on my hands this Friday!
