We'll see where we are when the games are played. I predicted an improved record this year, and I predict ones for 2020 and 2021 as well. Because I actually trust that we have the right management in place, just as I did with Fitz and Dr, Jim in 2013-2014. The road to systematic improvement always has bumps in it...
PF had five straight bowl appearances, several B1G seasons above .500 and a ten win season. 2014 was terrible execution and coaching played a role. So really, 2013 was a blip, a true letdown.
CCC has one postseason appearances quite sometime ago. Has he had an over .500 season in the B1G? If anything, his one post -season - played w pivotal players from prior regime and due largely to a freak play - seems to be the blip.
The reality is settling in that CCC will not be the savior for NU BB that some of us has hoped. He would make a great assistant coach heading up recruiting but he simply is over his head trying to win at a challenging place like NU.
