Everything y'all saying about Barton I feel like it should be applied to Chip Patterson insread, also the audible pod has become droning.
I watched all of Barton’s game by game prediction/win total videos and he was saying dumb **** like “they let me down last year when I picked them so I don’t trust them to win these games this year.” “They lost a ton on defense, most starters in fact, but this school always has a good defense so you know they’ll be good regardless.”
He had a Mike Macintyre take this week that got me: “Everyone keeps saying Mike Macintyre is a good defensive coach and sure his defense at Colorado was pretty good, he won national coach of the year I think a few years back, but the last time he was a defensive coordinator it was for a 4-8 2008 Duke team that was 70th in the nation in yards per play! You’re getting excited about a 70th ranked defensive coordinator?”
I’m sitting there like... first off the ACC was really good in 2008, so 4-8 after being 3-33 or whatever the combined record was the 3 seasons before he got there is pretty good. Plus they were doing that with absolutely no recruited talent and no fan interest or money in that football program. Being 70th was pretty impressive all things considered. His whole season preview was dumb and could be summed up with “the numbers and personnel say this will be happening, but I’m going to go with my gut.”
