Tight games against FSU, VA Tech, and Toledo. Home loss to CIncy.
Kelly was completely checked out and I am not convinced at all his teams would win any one of the last three games.
All that to say Swarbrick crapped the bed here. However one can rationalize (spite/laziness/arrogance), Freeman is not the guy on paper to re-haul a program.
A re-set that was needed even if Kelly remained.
Freeman is too damn likable to not be patient, but I don't see a cohesive plan here for the program, beyond recruiting.
Perhaps that's all he needs, but I don't believe that.
