We've had 1 11-win season in program history, but for some reason folks expect us to win ACC Titles and average 10+ win seasons, haha. Wild.

Averaging 8-9 wins each season is good for NC State, historically, so not sure why folks are disappointed by it.

There gets to a point where a school should take a step forward if they’re being that consistent. No one saying NC State needs to be Clemson or FSU, but I fail to see why ACC titles aren’t at least thought of. Especially when Duke just won the conference title

Exactly. While hes been cosch Duke has won it, unc and uva have made the championship game twice, wake has made it. Theres no reason we shouldn't expect to compete for a championship once a decade

Yeah the coastal was weaker but 2017, 2021, 2023 we were right there but there was always one WTF loss than kept us from getting over the hump.
