Is this thing on?!? Is ANYONE excited?!?

Well we experienced a very small nugget of success during the second half of 2022 and felt a hint of optimism for the first time in five years, then promptly showed most everyone who had anything to do with it the door in favor of an "all-star" staff that was composed entirely of people looking for jobs.

Week 1 2023 we lose by two TD to a team that couldn't pass for 100 yards.  So I wouldn't call my attitude "excited" at the moment.  It's more like I feel neutered of hope or like a scorned optimist.  Wilkes did make the games worth watching last year so excitement can definitely scale with success.  Will patiently wait for the reward that feels so far away atm.

Statement from ABC/ESPN......

"Due to the lack of national advertising revenue in combination with the anticipated low ratings of the September 18th 2023 Monday Night Football game between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints in Charlotte, NC.......the TV broadcasting of that event within the Charlotte Metro ADI will be pulled from airing and replace with selected episodes of the 1982 Happy Days sitcom spin off.......Joanie loves Chachi"

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
