[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 840640, member: 959"] Thank you for this. We have people on here that grew up playing madden and believe when you run a post route it hits, because they just use turbo if the sim is lagging.. Coaching is a wild profession, and at the college level is even more so. Boosters, fans, ADs and current players/future recruits create a cluster of priorities and challenges you don't have at any other level. HS and the NFL generally are smoother deltas between talent team to team than NCAA Div 1. The roster at a Bama/uGag/Clemson/ND is so significantly different than the programs outside the top 20. People calling for patience with CGC see that. I admit fully he hurts himself with many of his constituency by repeating the same trope without any seeming acceptance of reality as we sit today: [LIST] [*]The output of his program has been bad. [*]He took some unnecessary shots at the previous regime (who many whether they liked the option or not understood CPJ made the break up as easy as possible). [*]His insistence on playing guys despite clear lack of fit in role (some of our DBs should be LBs; and CBs should be at S for example) [*]He comes across as a whiner, always pointing to "circumstances" outside the program's (Read his) control without identifying what is causing the trend of D getting worse, O having no consistency, play calling being suspect and time management being woefully lacking. [/LIST] However; I have low confidence we can pay him out and get an upgrade (snark not withstanding we could absolutely be worse.. While the on field product has been terrible, we are somehow holding and acquiring standout talent at positions. There is still a path where we go into the off season, sign some more guys and bring in some more beef on the lines, and all of a sudden look much better next year. We DO NOT HAVE the line play on either side of the ball to be arguing about schemes and plays. The foundation is bad and until that is fixed there isn't much we can do to window dress that.
