Expectation may be that Long will completely handle the offense. Get the ship righted and then hire a DC to take over. What I can see happen, is what you just stated. The in game coaching takes a huge hit and costs Tech a couple of games.

Good point. Not sure I've seen many Coordinators held over between regimes. Normally there's some kind of fundamental shift. I can see a position coach being held over but they would be interviewing for the job. I can't see a HC taking a job and being told who he needs to keep. Although, this is...

Not in his contract but Tech added on guaranteed payroll from these new assistants 850k and 400k. Tech would need to pay that out as well. I should of said they essentially raised CGC's buyout.

With the new hires, CGC's buyout was raised 1.2M for next year. I think he gets two years. Everything being mentioned about his buyout this year and with giving 2 year contracts to the assistants (and potentially another 2 year contract to another one), I'm not seeing how he isn't around another...

It still feels with how we are lining up these new contracts that CGC is going to get next year and the year after. Essentially they just added on 1.2M in buyouts for assistants with these last two hires. I'm with a lot of posters above this. I don't care if we lose the same amount just as...

The statistics go both ways. You can point to his higher statistics and I'll point to facing weaker defenses (DFEI rankings YoY show that). He also had some called swing pass and screens that Gibbs took to the house. Those do inflate the stats a little. But the play was called, he executed it...

I think that's the big difference. I'm on the bandwagon, I didn't see the improvement this year. There are statistics in favor of improving and against. I was just expecting a bigger step forward given a full spring and a previous season of seeing college defenses. He had some great games...

The numbers are better but the average DFEI he faced this year was 77 compared to 66 last year. Once again, this isn't harping on Sims, he's going to get there, just the fact that the coaching staff and Pnaude didn't get more out of him. Everyone is defending Pnaude thinking he developed Sims...

As noted, my stats were incorrect. However, I find it interesting that people are taking the stance that Pnaude developed Sims. I would attribute the slight improvement in numbers to him playing more games, got a full spring practice in, and the ACC overall this year was down. He did play...

His ceiling is significantly higher than what the coaches are getting out of him. I think we can agree on that? I'm not putting him down just saying that the coaching staff is letting down these players. I hope that Coach Long can some of those inconsistency that you mentioned and make him take...

My mistake on the yards per game. You are correct! Points taken. My post wasn't about Sims not being good but Pnaude didn't really develop Sims far enough. I was expecting more (maybe I bought into the hype CGC was spewing). I would have loved to see him face common opponents year over year...

Point taken. KSU would have been a stat padder. No hate on Sims. I think he's one helluva QB, I just hate Pnaude's offense. That was my original post. I said Pnaude didn't develop Sims. Folks are claiming that there was drastic improvement and I'm just not seeing it.

He didn't face the three toughest defenses. The coastal was a mess this year. His stats are a marginal improvement from last year. He averaged 188 pass yards per game in 2020. 183 yards per game in 2021. Less ints this year but 1 less TD as well. Mixed bag statistically but in no way do I think...

This is progress? It's marginal improvement on a very down ACC this year especially coastal division. I'll give him credit for UNC (who was not the team everyone thought they would be) but the NIU loss was squarely on him. Also, he struggled against Pitt. I haven't looked too much into the final...

How was the OC not the issue? Sims didn't progress at all. He was making as many mistakes he did last year to this year. He couldn't coach the brain of the operation on the offensive side. The play calling was predictable. He had a generational talent (and future Alabama running back) in the...

Need to take any single year stint with a grain of salt. Looking at the stats, their young QB only threw 8 picks. If he can get Sims to be more consistent and less prone to turnovers, that is a big win in my books. I watched several videos of Tulane's offense and quite frankly it's too early to...

NFL playcalling is very different from college. There's no telling what kind of offense he would run. I just hope whoever it is they can scheme into letting the players make plays. Pnaude felt like we ran things to just run them. Wishing for the best but expecting the worst.

On play 1, it was a pick play it should of gone to 83. Yates was a little late. Ball should of been out right after the pick was done.

Personally have a feeling that UVA may see the largest drop between seasons. Their QB play will be crucial but I could see them being like Syracuse this past season.

He doesn’t look fluid to me. It may be how he bulked up this offseason but he never looked good getting sideline to sideline.
