I'm not disputing our shittiness prior to Grobe, but bowl appearances is a bad measure. I mean the the 1970 ACC championship team did not go to a bowl, while a couple of things go the other way and this shitty 5-7 team could've gone.
So yes, Grobe's success from 06-08 was special, our teams have not looked any better the last four years than Caldwell's last four. The records are not that different, and I would argue Caldwell was coaching in a stronger conference than what has been the case recently.
This is a really good point and one that hasn't been made enough. Can anybody reasonably say that the ACC is better now then it was then?
