First, I like Coach Strong, He seems to be a nice moral man and a good role model for young men to follow.
With that said, nonetheless, many on here are missing seeing the forest for the trees being in the way. Our offense is under performing against a minor league schedule and our defense stats are build upon that same minor league schedule! To say other wise is to be in denial.
So I will play the devil's advocate here:
1) The Florida Sugar Bowl win does not seems so huge now as Florida is now 4-6, their coach is on the "Hot Seat", and they are struggling against P5 caliber opponents this year.
2) We could not dominate a 2 win, bottom feeding Kentucky team.
3) We were unable to dominate CUSA level teams on our schedule.
4) Our 9-1 record is primarily against G5 or worst cup cake teams.
5) So I say, it still needs to be proven, what type team we will be in the P5 world next season. I know the Watson offense minus Bridgewater
will struggle badly in the ACC, as will our special teams play, because defense alone will not carry the day in the ACC!
6) Bottom line Charlie is doing to have to fine tune his coaching staff.
I am not saying Strong should go are any thing like that, but I am saying he is going to have to make some hard decision about his staff in order to fine tune the program for the P5 World.
