Is the Pry experiment officially over after this year ?
Since college FB is more like pro with every player a free agent it’s possible we should look for a coach with pro experience. IMHO We have won 1 one score game with the current coach . That defies all odds . ( 1-12 ) . Pry will not learn clock management and end game coaching at his age . He actually felt we would be in the ACC championship game at the start of the season . We weren’t close to that . I do think he is handling the players with their egos , and that’s difficult to do . This isn’t enough and it may be best to buy the best players we can every year and go from there . Kind of like a fantasy football draft . Development is pretty much out the window as teams go from basement dweller to contender overnight ( Indiana , Colo , etc) . I don’t like it but it is what it is . College loyalty is mostly a thing of the past for players .

Check out Nebraska in 1 score games the last 15 years. That defies odds.**

We expected returning 20 out of 22 starters would yield a better record...
