If Slovis stays where else could Wayne go and be the primary fixated target on every play? Lol.
A connection that you seemed to miss is that both teams likely had the top QB in their NFL draft class (Maye could pass Ewers) throwing to those WRs. Think that helps?
So you're trying to attribute all of Pitt's '22 performance decline to Marion leaving?
Yeah, I 100% agree that he isn’t the main reason the program is improving. But the other poster acts like their offense is sputtering and their receivers are struggling, which is clearly not the case.
I was pointing out that this is Sark's offense and Marion's "Go-Go" isn't anywhere close to the factor of what they're doing.
And that's all everyone always harps on is if they are running a go-go offense and not that he developed a novel and successful offense to address his team's weaknesses. The good news is that it won't be long before we see if he can run an offense at this level and the arguments can mostly be put to bed.
Texas' offense had 49 touchdowns against the toughest schedule in college football.
It might be baseless, but it’s also silly to act like the hiring of cignetti had nothing to do with him leaving
He ran it at W&M for a short time. London wanted to go in a different direction.
Non- intended
Urban and Dabo were long time assistants. Saturday never even coached in college or Pro prior to HC hire.
The guy you’re responding to is an absolute clown. He is consistently wrong on every front, goes out of his way to constantly defend cignetti, and has said cignetti runs the same offense as Alabama.
Before the year Slovis was looked at as one of the top 5-10 qbs in this class…perhaps he was misused?
What was the disparity in recruiting between Texas and their schedule compared to PITT and it's schedule over the past 4 seasons?
My understanding is Steel is/was a coach. What are your credentials that make you an expert besides whining?
He might have been a coach, but anyone that tells me Pitt abd Alabama run a similar offensive philosophy is clueless
What’s your point? That’s why they brought in a guy who was one of the most highly sought after transfers and didn’t stick with Patti
Perhaps he was overrated?
Just realized he's the guy that was telling me a month ago that you never run man on the call side in a half-slide blocking scheme. When that is the fundamental principal behind the scheme.
I mean perhaps, but I’ve really not seen Alabama lining up under center with two TE’s, I didn’t see the bunch formations, and they also don’t bleed the playclock constantly under 10 seconds
Look I’m no expert, but even my very uneducated eye can see that the style, tempo, and scheme cignetti runs is totally different than Alabama, so when people just acquiesce to this guys opinion and say “well he was a coach” I have to question that.
Admittedly, I haven’t watched Bama this year outside maybe 20-30min of a game.
He's not a DC kid. He's from Frederick Maryland. That's like saying a kid from Grove City is from Pittsburgh.
When did I ever say you "never run man on the call side?"
