[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3331655, member: 16969"] There's a decent case to be made that the 3-3-5 can work, works well elsewhere, and we're building up to having the right personnel, etc. Maybe a few remarkable defensive standouts last year (Winters, Horton, Tre Hodges-Tomlinson) made the rebuild look ahead of schedule, and this year looks farther behind schedule than it in fact is. maybe we're like OU who looked awful last year and people kept saying that Venables's scheme takes two years to install; lo and behold, in 2023, they're back. Maybe Gillespie's defense looks a whole lot better next year. I can certainly see that argument for waiting. If you can make that argument for Gillespie, you can make it for Johnny Tape-fingers, too*, on the basis that he didn't have a QB or anywhere near last year's line. One difference here is that we don't have a QB because the offensive staff apparently believed in Chandler so much that they scared off every decent prospect we looked at in the portal. That's on them: they misevaluated what we had and failed to land a decent transfer. If Johnny is back at OC for 2024 and can't get a QB this off-season, we're going to be mediocre to poor again next year. So I suppose the "good" news is that you'll know by the time the post-season transfer window closes if the '24 Frogs have a snowball's chance in hell, and if the answer is "no, we don't" we can all just emotionally check out until September. *[I personally wouldn't make that argument; I'd fire him now, because I wouldn't have hired him in the first place and was told that I needed to "get over it" because we were going to be good on offense, but we actually suck. But, whatever; we can re-litigate this [I]ad nauseam[/I]....] [/QUOTE]
