[QUOTE="Cam, post: 659736, member: 568"] I wrote this up for the thread on firing Dave Pataneude yesterday before it was deleted, but it still applies to this thread. You can't [B]fairly judge[/B] any coach on this staff this year provided the injuries and large amount of inexperience in their schemes. Remember how those elements affected 2015? CPJ was a proven amazing OC and playcaller, but that offense was [URL='https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feioff/2015']ranked 87th in offensive efficiency by FEI[/URL]. It has yet to take into account the VT game and will definitely drop, but FEI also ranks [URL='https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feioff/2019']GT's offensive efficiency this year at 87th[/URL]. Firing anyone at this point would do a lot more damage to the program long-term in regards to player development, severed recruiting relationships, and finances than by just letting them work at least through the end of next season. Think about this practically. Let's say we fire Dave Pataneude and put up the job application for OC. CDP gets paid a pretty measly $400k (by coordinator standards) and we're not likely to raise that salary a cent after we tack on CDP's buyout money to our existing debt.
