The best way I've seen to do a record prediction is to come up with a probability of winning for each game, then add all of those probabilities up for your expected win total. So, if the probability of winning every game in a 12-game season were 1/2, then the expected win total would be 6. So...

So, what most of y'all (@85Escape , @AUFC , @RyanS12 , @bwelbo , @tech_wreck47 , @boger2337 ) are saying is that either A.) Recruiting doesn't really matter. Or, B.) Our coaching/scheme is superior to theirs. Or, maybe even C.) The recruiting rankings for our team have been wrong. Every...

Seems like there's going to be a logic/consistency problem for a lot of people when predicting records for the next 2-3 years or more. Will we have more talent than the other team? Will our scheme/coaching be superior to the other team? If the answer to those two questions is no, then how can...

You forgot Snoddy. And, if you're going to throw Bay Bay and Hill in the "speed" category, then why leave out Dwyer, Smelter, Kirvonte, and the like? I don't think we've lacked for speed. CPJ certainly valued it in recruiting ... he would sometimes sign a RB recruit more because of his track...

Couldn't the new "juice" (fun?) in the program, the "above the line" philosophy of playing time, and the willingness for position flexibility (even both ways) all contribute to more guys wanting to stay instead of transfer?

Didn't make much difference at Temple or UF. "It takes a combination of coaching and talent." -C.F. Obvious "And luck" -G.P. Burdell

The only two stats the ultimately matter in determining how successful a defense is are (in this order): 1. PPP (aka PPD) - points per possession (aka points per drive): This tells the story much better than a simple "Total defense" number because it accounts for the different paces that...

QB position will be very intriguing. I expect OL to take a LOT of work and be a stumbling block for a while. The high level of play at the QB position could overcome a low level of play on the OL, OR, conversely (or is it inversely or contrapositively), a low level of play on the OL could...

Thank you sir!

This is true. And, when people trashed CCG (and they did a lot back then), I defended him too, even though I very much liked the new CPJ hire. And, now I defend CPJ, even though I have some reason for hope for this new CGC hire. And, probably when the day comes, I'll probably defend CGC too...

I definitely wouldn't mind that, although I'm definitely not a legend ... but I've tackled a few ... and gotten run over and run past by a few more.

Well, the fact that the very next name you typed was someone's last name seems like a logical defense for my misunderreading you. That and the fact that Erin Joe is actually still involved with the program and would have a much more relevant opinion than Joe Hamilton, whom I greatly admired as...

What do you make of CGC's record at Temple? Make sure not to "defend mediocrity".

Did you play for CPJ? Is your claim... 1.) CPJ is a bad coach? 2.) that you didn't like him? 3.) that you didn't like his offense? 4.) that you didn't like something else about CPJ?

Help me understand what you're claiming. Are you claiming... 1.) that most GT athletes that played for CPJ didn't like him? 2.) that most GT athletes that played for CPJ didn't like his offense? 3.) that most GT athletes that played for CPJ think CGC is a better coach? 4.) that most GT...

What the crap has CGC accomplished?! He's good at Twitter?! He won 7 and 8 games at Temple?! Yet, you're identifying CPJ, who was a 3-time ACC Coach of the Year as "mediocrity" compared to the JUICE. Now, I do like what CGC is doing, I like the some of the staff hires especially, but to...

It takes "human resources" (which do cost money) to use those electronic resources.

Tim Byerly. Dude did nothing but succeed at every chance. Happened to share the roster with JFT, but I would've loved to have seen the offense with him as the man for a season or two ... think Nesbitt but with really good touch. Might could've been a great one.

Just read this from CS Lewis' "Screwtape Letters" a couple weeks ago which is quite apropos to the sentiments expressed here: (Keep in mind when reading this is a letter from a "senior demon" to a "junior demon" and that "the Enemy" is God. The second paragraph is the most relevant to the...

New idea. Spend the extra $1M to get Wes Durham to come back. Program changer. He could do a whole radio program every day covering general sports stuff, but always with a special slant to the Jackets. Pay Wes. People will come.
