Patience is a virtue!!
Ok so the Larry Coker era is over and the hunt for a new coach at the U is underway,as canes fans lets not get ahead of ourselves. Lets clear up some myths about the 2007 season. First of all anyone who thinks we are going to compete for the National title next year is delusional.Let it go!!Here are a few reasons why:
1) A New System-Whoever the new coach is they will bring in a totally different system than "Coker Ball". It will take at least a year for our players to fully understand and get comfortable with a new system.
2) Schedule-If you think the Gators had it rough this year listen to this gauntlet:
On the road at Norman(OK.),Talahasee(FSU),Blacksburg(VT) and Chestnut Hill(BC).
On top of that we host GT,Maryland,UVA and Texas Tech at the OB.
Lets be realistic,it would take Jesus himself to get us through that schedule with a first year coach and system.
3) Quarterback controversey- I know it sounds cliche but who is gonna step up and be the go to guy??
Kyle Wright-Has all the potential in the world.Kyle had a fairly good campaign in 2005.I think realistically Kyle is our best option but he had a total collapse this year.I think Kyle lost the trust of this offense and he'll have to earn it back during the spring if he wants his job back.
Kirby Freeman-Kirby looked great at times(see the Maryland game) and he looked terrible at times(see the UVA and BC games).I think Kirby has the potential to be an exciting playmaker but I think he makes too many Brett Favre type mistakes.
Ultimately I think the QB competition will come down to the offensive system we will run next year.
In conclusion if you are expecting a miracle turn around next year don't hold your breath.I think 9-4 or even 10-3 with a trip to the Peach or Gator bowl is a reasonable goal for this young and unproven Hurricane team.However don't worry 2008 is another story completely(How about #6 in 08???)
