The forgotten storyline this week? Former offensive coordinator George McDonald makes his first trip to the Carrier Dome since he left Syracuse to join the coaching staff at North Carolina State.
McDonald is responsible for recruiting some of the main widgets in Dino Babers' offense (i.e. Steve Ishmael and Brisly Estime). But he also failed to establish and follow a vision for the offense during his one-and-a-half-year run as offensive coordinator, and such waffling had been detrimental to the Orange's recruiting efforts and partially explains why the roster is a mess.
Oh, and don't forget the tweet McDonald sent after last year's 42-29 Wolfpack victory, days before his former boss got fired.
