100% false. One had players setup on O for the traditional current offense in CFB. The other was full of players and smaller 2* OL with G5 offers and 3* Aths to specifically run the spread option offense. Key took over a team full of players he recruited on OL and on the O being run now. Go back to CBK’s presser when brought on with the former HC. While he now praises CPJ, he sure didn’t when first brought over from Alabama. He said GT was all but irrelevant on the recruiting trail."The roster" didn't lose the Citadel game no matter how you want to to slice dice and label them 'G5 players'. There is an argument to be made that the roster the clown left Key was not as good as the one he inherited from CPJ.
There’s still no excuse for losing to The Citadel, Temple, etc.
D issues have been an issue since 2007 regardless of HC.
