After Erickson drove the Porshe into a tree (a lot like Coker) we had some real problems. Most of us hated the Butch Davis hire at the time. I really thought it was over. ANd the thing you gotta remember is that the Canes of the late 80's, early 90's were the brashest bunch of players you'll ever see. The relished the fact that everyone called 'em convicts. So it was much more painful going from that great, and arrogant, to the bottom. Then came 1998 and something happened. When we beat #2 UCLA and Cade McNoun everything changed. It was the beginning of something. You could feel it. I don't think we'll even be in a position for that for a year or two. The difference is that it took Davis a while to get recruiting going after the NCAA rulings. Shannon had quite a haul last year. Give him 2 more, then pass judgement. I'm not saying he'll do it, but give him a chance. We still need a QB anyway. I think Marve is crap, although the experts tell me I'm wrong, which I hope I am. The good news is that parity is everywhere in college football so it may be quicker this time. Just breathe.

Thanks, man. I have no problems with Shannon at the moment. He's still learning on the job. It's Nix I have the major problem with. I guess a problem I have with Shannon is that he do something about Nix.

Yeah, but they're going through a coaching change.
