First of all, congrats to Keatts. Almost all of us wanted him fired and he proved us wrong. I’m sooo pumped. First ACC Championship in my lifetime. Leeeets Goooooo Pack!!!!!
LOL. Some may have, and you weren’t just proven wrong, but proven to be a bandwagon rider, and not to be trusted to support the team and coach when times are tough. Don’t even try to celebrate with those that stood behind them.
Well this is a ridiculous comment. Fans shouldn’t be shamed for demanding results and wanting to move on from people when they fall short of those results. In fact if you are not demanding results then what do you care about how they perform? If you saw my previous comments I’ve made it clear I like Keatts and that I even thought he was a good coach but that he wasn’t getting the job done. Up to this point he hadn’t been. 17-14 is not a good season. I still watched every game and was rooting for us to win… Read more »
My comments are for those that disrespectfully campaigned against KK after every loss or every time things didn’t go well. Wait till season is over then present your thoughts in a respectful manner. Repeated campaigning for a firing is just trolling, and in retrospect makes those folks look like fools as well. True, that behavior says a lot more about them than it ever did about KK or the team.
quotes like ‘MOC should never play again’ come to mind.
I”m sure those same folks will jump off the bandwagon the next time we hit a rough patch.
Only one key, score more points than the Holes. No matter how you do it, just score more points than the Holes.
