[QUOTE="gthxxxx, post: 629417, member: 4310"] If I remember correctly, two weeks before that game, the 1st string QB went out due to injuries. One week before that game, the 2nd string QB went out due to injuries. Perhaps one can argue CPJ should've prepared the 3rd string QB to run his offence better during the off-season since that position is so crucial, but I don't fault him for spending his efforts elsewhere, particularly with the final season results. I think the transition was done a lot more smoothly than you're giving credit for. CPJ and GT parted ways on as good of terms as can be expected with foreknowledge around end of last season (likely earlier based on some reports). New coaching staff was given an abundant amount of support with supposedly more loose purse strings. The inherited team strengths may not have been the most compatible with the incoming staff, but there was a full off-season to evaluate, design, and implement a strategy. [Edit: I don't follow recruiting that well, but I also got the impression from this board a year or two ago that better days were coming in 2019 regarding incoming talent.] The main difference I see is that some of the most glaring issues (i.e. lack of direction and cohesive strategy) should have never been as big of a problem as seen in the Citadel game and should have been prepared for during the off-season. Also, the deliberate strategy of rotating personnel and having multiple equal starters at some (most?) positions doesn't seem to be delivering favorable results, but it appears that the staff is doubling down on it, i.e. "ATL" instead of 1st & 2nd string. It may be a winning idea, but so far it isn't looking so good. Finally, just throwing it out there, but perhaps too much time has been dedicated to individual player S&C instead of practicing tactics as a unit tailored towards both the team's strengths as well as opponent tendencies. I don't believe our players are physically outmatched by Citadel's but are instead not as refined in team play and opponent preparedness. [/QUOTE]
