[QUOTE="Techster, post: 715617, member: 360"] I don't think we can truly judge Patenaude until the offense gets the players that fit his scheme. His top two QBs got hurt, and we had to start a Redshirt Freshmen at QB that spent most of spring trying to stay eligible. Our O-line was a mess with walk ons playing significant minutes. The two most important units on offense were not only short handed and ill-fitting, but they were also trying to learn a new system. That's not a recipe for succes. There was a recent AJC article about how the O-Line was meshing better, and after a year and an offseason of learning this offense, everything was second nature to them now. That would not have happened if the coaches were constantly changing schemes. There's something to be said about staying the course with your system and taking lumps in the short term to set up the long term. If you read Patenaude's bio, he's broken records at every stop he was an OC. I expect to see an offense similar to what he ran at Coastal Carolina...and he put up some pretty impressive numbers there. The one thing I said when CGC brought Patenaude is that CGC is a defensive guy (a very good one at that). That means he has studied MANY offenses and had to coach against many of them. I'm sure he knew what to look for and what would create trouble for opposing DCs. CGC isn't a Chan Gailey control the ball, don't make mistakes, and play good defense kind of guy. If that was the case, Patenaude would not have been hired at Temple. Let's see how it plays out. I expect to have some more growing pains this year, but I also expect us to see the light at the end of the tunnel...and I actually expect us to have a few games where our offense actually wins us games and looks explosive.
