Don't know that you'll ever seen better than it again in the Narduzzi Era. He has four seasons that were better, not including bowls, and they all come with caveats (we can debate the merit of those caveats until the cows come home).
But it goes well beyond that. Miami and FSU are either fixed or a lot closer to it. UNC finally caught up to their recruiting talent. Some of the doormats we used to be able to count on (Duke, Syracuse, GT) have crawled out of the grave. And, most importantly, our head coach just refuses to adapt to how modern college football is played. UNC wasn't even playing around with an inferior team last night (Brown said after the game they let off the gas in the second half and could have rung up even more points if needed). When we have more talent than a team (GT and Louisville last year), we engage in a rock fight that allows for the game to go either way.
And his eye for offensive talent... my God, Bub Means was Plan A?! He's less Waffle House and more Century 3 Mall. Jurkovec in year 9?! Just no knack for what a good offense is whatsoever. And, quite frankly, it's boring to watch.
And then there is recruiting. We used to have freshman D-linemen and D-backs who you just couldn't keep off the field. Where are they? I do see Okunola and Scott out there, but I don't hear them being talked up like Weaver and Jones (DE) or Kancey and Twyman (DT) were. And the cornerback situation - I totally get that we have three upperclassmen, two of whom are actually good. But he's always rotated more than this, it seems. I see Crumpley and Gandy out there, but it feels like it's most special teams (or, I'm sure, garbage time against Wofford). And the sheer numbers he's thrown at the CB position in recruiting tell me Mathis and Pinnock aren't exactly on this roster chomping at the bit.
And don't even get me started on offensive recruiting. I still stand behind last year's receiving corps, but given his track record with receiving recruits I don't know why I do. This year's running back class looks good. Offensive line... I thought we were wayyyyyy ahead of where we are. We can't even fill one damn spot between like a dozen guys. And Zubovic might have missed 150 second-level blocks last night. And, oh by the way, this quarterback situation has become a joke. The coaches who can find and develop a good one of those are light years ahead of Narduzzi. Here, if you're good at recruiting/developing QB's, you get ran out of town and have your nuts verbally stomped on in a press conference, because that isn't the 17-13 type of game this head coach longs to play.
