It's not like that. I've long thought Gary hurts himself as a coach. He does well (generally) coaching the underachievers and the ones who nobody else wanted. When they are more talented or have potential to be "stars" he doesn't seem to know what to do with them, to make them better and bring out the best. Therefore, we go through cycles..when we're good, we recruit better, which means we get the people that Gary doesn't seem to coach well, therefore we underperform, so we get the "lower" caliber players, who Gary responds well with, so we do better...rinse, repeat.

To be consistently competitive in the ACC, that doesn't work. It's something I've noticed over the last 10 years or so, and I have been saying for a few years now that either Gary needs to change his coaching style or we need a new coach.
