[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 194415, member: 1045"] I guess I just believe this year is an exception and don't necessarily agree that an exception proves the rule. I think CPJ's coaching history speaks for itself and it shows that his floor is not any lower than Gailey's as a general rule. As for adjustments in the third quarter, maybe that has to do with coaching this year, but I still doubt it. Again, historically we have been at our best after halftime adjustments. I think it makes sense that this would be one of the areas where we would struggle the most given a young lineup. It is hard enough getting young guys to understand the offense and execute after a week's prep for a particular opponent, but I think it makes sense that they would have an even harder time making and executing in-game counter adjustments. What I do think is entirely fair is to say that this year has been due in large part to recruiting failures (as much as injuries). And that [U]is[/U] on the coaching staff. This year's "senior class" was originally something like only 14 recruits and something like half of those are not even with the program anymore. Also, we took some shots on some guys like Custis and Autry (x2) that I think we hoped would be the strength of this offense, but are not even with the school. I also agree that there is a track record of CPJ's teams having worse defenses than Gailey's. I think that is entirely fair. The combination of recruiting failures and injuries this year was just too much to overcome as far as I am concerned, and I don't believe a primary reason for this year's failures has been on in-game coaching. To be honest, the bottom line is that we need better defensive lineman if we are going to really be successful. Can this staff get them? I thought Freeman/Hunt-Days/Gotsis would be enough this year. Due to injuries, discipline, and lack of development, they have not. To me, [U]that[/U] has been the biggest disappointment, not anything to do with the offense. [/QUOTE]
