I’m always happy to share positivity. Love this thread; @yeti92
In my review of data this offseason I see a few reasons for improvement. I’ve made my position clear on the projected wins and losses, so this won’t be new to any of you, my dear readers, who have followed along with my love affair for the prettiest belle of the south, that beautiful matriarch we know, love and were happy as hell to leave, MaTech™
Reason #5 | Offensive Line Improvement:
I believe our OL is going to be better than the last few years. We have had paper thin depth and unfortunate injuries, so odds are we are due some luck in that category this year
Reason #4 | Coaching for their Lives:
I don’t know much in life that is certain, but I’ll tell you this much. If CGC doesn’t fix our D woes and win some games WHILE looking like we belong on the field with everyone but U(sic)GA/Clemson on the schedule this year his coaching days beyond mid major position roles are gone. Dude is out of options and he needs this year to be a big step forward so you’ll not see a more motivated to win coach than him.
Reason #3 | Improved OC & Scheme Fit:
There wasn’t much I liked about what CDP did on offense. We moved too far away from any run option plays. Didn’t develop JS10, had poor play from the Wide Outs and ignored the TEs entirely. Despite making noise about finally bringing some to campus.
I think we are going to see more consistency in play calling (not the random generator of pain machine CDP used to pick a 8 yd pass route when we needed 15). I think we will see more creativity in our player sets and formations as well to take advantage of two back sets. Lastly we are going to see the ball get out faster - too often last year we had plays get blown up or passes get ripped because of slow developing plays. That will be a thing of the past.
Reason #2 | Defensive Scheme / Coaches:
Coach had every excuse to switch DCs and chose not to. He knows he has to WIN
He got an OC who can own that side of the ballgame and can be focused now on Coaching up the D. Uniting the back end of our scheme under one coach will cut down on communication challenges as well so I suspect our pass defense won’t be busted as frequently moving forward.
Reason #1 | Most Importantly..
