That program will never come close to being what it was in the Osborne heyday. Never.
unlike basketball where you'd expect one score games to be a tossp most of the time, I thnk the coach/playcalling/time management/decision making play a HUGE role in those situations.
So while I'm sure there's a healthy dose of bad luck there, I also think such a number does indicate a fault of the coaching.

Arizona State fires Herm Edwards after loss to Eastern Michigan. While EMU is much better than they were 20 years ago, it didn't help.

The good match between coach and institution - or lack of it - seems to be a huge factor in how a hire works out. Kelly to LSU stinks as a match to me...did from the start. Kelly's newfound "accent" kind of makes that case I think. With K's success at Duke, the perfect match of man and institution was surely a big factor.
Coach G at Texas for some reason didn't work. Shaka Smart bombed at Texas too, and clearly he and G can both coach, and Texas threw tons of money at their programs. But neither "felt right" - as elusive as that is.
As for Freeman and ND...maybe Freeman will turn it around. Or maybe he's not HC material. Not all really good coaches...are head man material. Another elusive quality.
Geoff Collins gone from Georgia Tech?

Collins is gone. I'm surprised he made it to this season, but I read after the UCF debacle that GT players were threatening to boycott the rest of the season. I don't expect GT to improve substantially under an interim coach but I'm glad they are not Duke's next opponent. Don't want to deal with the emotional swing and general unknown.
I'm curious on what VT does. They look almost as bad.
Another mid-season change, this time with double duty.

The school also dismissed defensive coordinator Chris Wilson.
