Having sustained success at Wake Forest in football is really fucking hard. Jim Grobe and Bill Dooley are the only coaches to manage more than one winning season, and Paul Amen, Grobe, and Clawson are the only coaches to do it at all after their second season at the school (i.e., in their own fully developed program). This is not to say we shouldn't have expectations and want to do as well as we can, but some of y'all on here act like winning 6 games a season is our birthright, when in fact it has been the outlier. Yes, we had a bad year this year, and yes, that's frustrating. But the Clawson era as a whole has been the longest sustained competitive era in Wake football history (a seven year run where our worst conference record was 3-5), full stop. The man's earned the benefit of the doubt.
