[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 669693, member: 2332"] I'm not an expert Xs and Os guy. But I feel like some (alot?) of the criticism of CDP is scapegoating for the bad results. One of the most important lessons I learned at Tech, that has served me well in my career- the quality of a decision can't be measured by the outcome. Good decisions can have bad outcomes, bad decisions can work out well. The difference is maximizing the probability of a positive outcome over time. The simple fact is we didn't have an established starting QB. We lacked size and depth on the O-line. We had no real TEs. And then injuries decimated what we did have. Say he should have settled on a QB earlier? What play from any of the QBs justified choosing any of them early on? On the board people were calling for LJ against Clemson, Graham against USF, Oliver again against Cid. Say we shouldn't run out of the shotgun on short yardage? How many times did our O-line get blown up and pushed back 2 yds on the snap? How many times did we use a speed option from shotgun successfully? As for the inconsistent play calling, what was working consistently enough to rely on it? Shouldn't we have wanted him to keep trying different things to see what our guys had success with? I'm not suggesting CDP is great, just that it's difficult to draw real conclusions given the situation. [/QUOTE]
