Football has been a "disaster" since the Gooch Report of the 1950s ...
mangled it, so that's not anything new.
There was a famous quote about UVa fans IIRC by Steve Sebo, our AD in the 1960s. "UVa fans want to be Harvard Monday through Friday and Ohio State on Saturday." A lot of what UVa fans want ain't gonna happen, so they need to dial back their expectations, especially with recruiting. How many non-athletes from the schools everyone covets in Tidewater come to UVa? That does contribute to the situation. The administration is only willing to make enough concessions for us to be a team that wins 7 to 9 games a year, with occasional forays into double digits.
As Blah says, the jury's still out on Elliott. Too many people are looking at the wrong models to make a proper judgement. How do his accomplishments (for lack of a better word) compare to what Dave Clawson accomplished at Wake in the same time period? How much time was Clawson given before people declared it a "make or break" year? [Post edited by HowieT3 at 03/23/2023 11:40AM]
