If we had any offense since 2008

I guess I should've been more precise. Year after year, he blamed the defense. For reference, see DC firings and rehirings. He hasn't placed himself under the same scrutiny.

I suppose he could fire himself and hire someone else as head coach. That would make sense..

So you want him to.. fire himself? Yeah, that'll show us.
 
I watched absolutely none of our game Saturday, but I am guessing that UVA played everyone up and perhaps had one safety back a bit, similar to the way Pitt played us. FSU played two deep safeties all game long, allowing us to run outside. Teams that play two deep against us are dumbasses. Pull everyone up, stop the dive, stop the keep, stop the pitch, dare us to win throwing the ball. It has worked great for this season. Pitt had everyone within 5 yards of the LOS. I didn't watch the UVA game, but I bet they did similar. VT will be super aggressive at the LOS next Thursday.

I think not having Leggett has hurt us a bit this season.

He blamed the defense by replacing a coach? So, he should have kept Groh around when his D wasn't working, but the offense was???. Sounds like a good head coach to see what the problems are and fix them.

This will be a newsflash for you apparently, but the offense most years hasn't been the issue. Outside of this season, GT is around the upper quartile of efficiency on offense.

Who were the rehirings?

After this season ends, I wouldn't be surprised to see some changes. Sewak in particular.

Pretty much. I think that was actually the most passes we've ever attempted under PJ. IMO, WR's played a good game, IMO, Clinton Lynch played out of his mind, and JT was decent throwing, but pass blocking was still atrocious.

If you put the offense from 2008, 2009, 2010, etc, into this year with this defense, we go undefeated. It's a öööö shame.

Pj always blames his defense. He can't do that now. He needs to look at himself

unc down 21 - 0 says hi.

puke, Pitt, uva all electing to receive , rather than defer, echo the same.
 
Mathematically, deferring gives a small advantage. If your team has more possessions in the second half, then the team has more control over the tempo in the second half. It's the same choice as picking defense first in OT, although OT is a much bigger advantage.

See the Miami game last year. We had a 10 minute drive, IIRC, in the third quarter. If we received in the first half, Miami would have gotten another possession in the second half.

I suppose most coaches receive for "momentum." You've got an illusory advantage through the first half, but that lead will increase confidence or whatever. I don't know, teams at P5 or NFL levels need to focus on execution, regardless of circumstances.
