I'm with you. They're all learning on the job.


Pry is probably knowledgeable about defense but he has never run a program. Fuente only ran a program for FOUR seasons so I was quite concerned about him.

Pry has not established an offensive identity and his OC only spent a year as a co-offensive coordinator at PSU. While the new OC was a co-offensive coordinator at PSU for a season, I question whether he was the architect of the offense. The defensive coordinator was at FSU and FSU has been horrible for a while.

While recruiting is important, some positions like QB require coaching to develop the talent into solid players. CornFU weren't able to develop the many talented QB's who played for them at Tech. Several of those QB's left Tech and started at other programs. AJ Bush, Joshua Jackson, Hooker and Quincy Patterson all started at other programs. Some positions like WR/RB don't require as much coaching since 4.4 speed is hard to beat. Recruiting is also not as reliable as coaching since roughly 40% of the recruits will not contribute.
