Agree that "it factor" is usually referring to an intangible quality of a player rather than coaching necessarily, but I do think this is something a coach can inspire in players by emphasizing playing with high effort every snap is so important that you're going to be benched if you're out there going through the motions even if you were named starter. Unfortunately to do this you also need capable back ups prepared to play, and I think in this case not having enough direct competition at QB this off season was likely more of an issue than other aspects of coaching.
Nothing a few pockets full of beers can't fix...

How is the "it" factor coaching? It's an intangible that players either have or they don't.
Blame the coaches for lack of discipline, poor playcalling or poor clock management. Don't try to blame the coaches because it appears a player doesn't have enough of a competitive edge.
Agree re capacity and pro and college; BUT getting fans through the metal detectors and getting tickets scanned without standing in line for 45 minutes like it is at every game at Lane should NOT be beyond the capabilities of a 21st century university with strong Engineering and IT departments...
If we are at a spot where we need to clean house, I'd rather do it with a new staff coming in with a completely clean slate, and a pile of money on hand to build out the staff and recruiting as he sees fit. And this time, we might actually have the budget to bring in someone who has a proven track record in building something up that can work.

We'll know more later in the season about how good SC is or isn't, but VT absolutely did not look like they didn't belong on the same field as a top 15 team with Heisman candidate. They competed at a high level even if the execution wasn't fully there. The Gamecock fans were legitimately worried up until the punt return (that should've never happened, uugh).
While we won't truly know about SC until the second half of the season, we'll learn a lot about the Hokies this weekend. An equivalent level of scheme and effort should lead to more consistent execution against more mortal opponents! Most expected to lose Sunday and are now voicing all this disappointment because we legit had a chance to win.
With a Saturday night crowd in Lane, I can see a convincing win against Vandy. Lose and it will be a long season... and the negativity will likely be well-earned.
Interestingly, SC and Vandy play the following week. That could provide some comparisons to gauge how good we are (or not good, lol).
FSU and Miami look legit, let's see if we are.
At least we're not UNC, hahahaha! Honorable mention to Syracuse, who looked like they didn't belong on the same field as a top 25 SEC team.

This is pretty much down to 1 or 1.5 everywhere now. I like VT in this matchup so maybe I'll let the people keep giving me more points.
And the one score would be a pick six.
Nice! I've camped near Romney. Absolutely beautiful.

In three OTs the score would actually be 2-0
I could be remembering wrong, but I feel like last season, people were reluctant to really put much blame on Stu Holt, but can we all finally acknowledge that he is a terrible Special Teams Coordinator?
