Ehhhh if your QB is casually jogging into the endzone, following 2 lead blockers who don't even need to block anyone, then that has basically nothing to do with superior athletic ability and everything to do with the defensive scheme being exploited.
I don't think it works exactly like that. All of the coaches that decided Casey was the guy last year are gone. The new coaches brought in their own guy. He could just as soon be the starter. Maybe even the favorite to start.
I'm not sold on the staff he's assembled. Lots of question marks if not downright red flags. Not just on the offensive side, TCU's 3-3-5 was thoroughly exposed last night. D+ maybe? Seems like we could have gotten a lot more proven guys with all the money we're throwing around.
The recruiting efforts have been solid, but I've read Colorado currently has the #1 transfer class in the country. Colorado! So I hesitate giving a A here. Maybe a solid B.
A+ on winning the press conference.
Barney Cotton got a bad rap. He probably had a lot more influence over the offense during the Pelini years than many would like to believe. Not to mention the offensive line has only gotten worse and worse and worse since he was railroaded out of the OL coach position.
Wait, I thought Deion had no business coaching in P5 because he was a flashy black guy or something. Now we're preparing to lose to the godawful team he took over? I mean, have a little faith Rhule is, like, vaguely competent at coaching football.
Of course he's not. Apparently he's not even a good enough football coach to barely improve an underachieving football team with an entire offseason to do it.
Nobody is expecting miracles here. It's literally 2 more wins than last year. If Rhule considers bowling the minimum, then we should as well.
If we paid that much money for coach to do as craptastic a job as Scott Frost, then we all have plenty of reason to be disappointed. There's only reason it should take years to get to a freakin' bowl game is if your coach is really crappy.
It doesn't necessarily mean that neither.
"Starting offensive linemen junior Ethan White and redshirt sophomore Michael Tarquin announced their plans to transfer this week despite being major contributors to arguably the Gators’ best unit this season . . . "
Sounds good to me.
