1.) Yes, a couple of times.

2.) Yes, and no. I love how Charlie recruits. He works his butt off and I appreciate it. Also I don't think 05 and 06 were flukes. In 05 we were a ligitamate NC contender. That being said looking back at the last two years it's clear that he has some coaching adjustments that he needs to do. If he learns from his mistakes I think he can be one hell of a coach. However I think that's about a 50/50 chance right now.

3.) 50/50. Really should be higher with the schedule and our talent coming back. Put me in the believe it when I see it camp.

4.) If he's back after next year, about %75.

5.) Mostly positive. Realistically though this is all about Charlie. Can he get the kids to play hard for him every week. Can he close out tight games. It will be fun to watch this year. One of the big problems I thought Charlie had last year was that he didn't put his foot on the throats of the opposition when they were down. He would try to return to the run game to burn clock, when realistically he should have gone for the juglar in my opinon.
