Well, Baker has a wide open road ahead of him, nothing but a chance to prove himself in a shaky division, a coach that desperately needs to win NOW, one of the best running backs of the modern era, a sure handed receiver, no upstart back-up with a dagger ready for your back and an offensive line that shows some promise. This is definitely one of those "the world is your oyster" moments.

Good luck man. I hope you're doing so well that we're negotiating a long-term contract by December and that we're playing even beyond that.

If not, there's going to be a whole lot of change around here.

The bigger picture to me is can they stay in the ACC or will they need to move the SEC as the mega conferences (SEC/BIG10) form.

Well, to me is just comes down to the structure of the college playoffs.  It has been designed perfect for the ACC to date.   A gift for Clemson. 

Who knows where it goes in the future.

Except you're wrong. The only ones calling us a clown show are around here. Many of those shows were talking about our improved roster and how Baker could take this teams to the playoffs. That's good marketing. It's genius.

I'm out on the west coast and that isn't even remotely close to what they're saying. They're hoping Rhule continues as head coach because it's pretty much a gimme win. Carolina and Rhule are a laughing stock out here.

It definitely isn't just here. Most people out there know about Baker's potential. There are some in the media who also see a team that just sent a rookie QB to IR behind very poor oline depth so Mayfield will only take us as far as that depth allows. Pass rushers won't be letting up on a free path to the QB in the regular season. Mayfield almost got lit up against Washington. Hoping he can work some magic because I am not sold on the interior OL until I see results.

I mean, Rhule leads the Vegas odds to be fired based on national perception of what we got cooking up in Carolina.  It isn't a huddle creation.

The term echo chamber has been used here from time to time in reference to his critics but it's plain to see the real echo chamber are the holdouts who insist anyone that isn't fawning over him is a hater who they can't wait to prove wrong. I don't care if our head coach is Scooby-Doo as long as we are winning.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
