Why? Where do we go? If we do, we will wind up firing Swinney and the rest of the coaches because their brand of football will not win in the SEC and/or BIG 12. Those are physical leagues and we dont have the players or coaches to compete playing that style week in and week out. It will take us YEARS to get there and we MAY NEVER get there. AL, UGA, FL - they are not going to wait on us to catch up.
Just keep recruiting - focus on Defense because that's really what will win championship. Rid the team of the soft coaches, get some with some attitude - if they curse a bit - that's probably OK. Find a LEADER at QB and move forward. Win the 8-9 games every year that you absolutely should in the ACC and find a way to compete for the others. MAYBE, one day that special circumstance will happen and you will get a chance to play on the national stage and when you do make the most of it.
This TEAM/PROGRAM is not ready for the week in and week out grind of the SEC.
