No, actually they weren't. He missed some games but was supposedly coming back. When he announced he was done for the season, they were 9-8, and 0-6 in the ACC.
See my edited post. 9-3 when he coached his last game. Yes, they lost their next 5 in a row before he officially stepped down, no arguing that.
Edit: but whether or not he sat out the season to have those games removed from his record is irrelevant to my point. My point was that when he came back - the next year - he cut down on media things in order to focus more on himself and his team, which rubbed some reporters wrong since they received much more limited access. THAT was the point.
