I don't know or recall if Wade gets a redshirt for last year; in any event he is listed as a redshirt sophomore on this year's roster.
So next year, presumably, it becomes a QB trial between Wade and Brown. If Brown, we start from scratch again.
I'm still trying to figure out whether we will ever get a two year starting job at QB, and as a correllary to that, whether we will ever run a consistent offensive scheme for more than a year or two at a time.
Seems to me, most good coaches have a system, recruit to their system, and develop consistency over time. It's referred to as their "program".
After this year, a full four years into it, it seems that Addazio is still in the mode of throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks, offensively.
Well... duh. He hasn't recruited a QB in 4 years. So of course, he is still throwing spaghetti. Being a HC at the power-5 level (and at the BCS level before it) is a sales job. Addazio can't close, he can't sell.
gave us William Green and a few others, but it was that recruiting class from 2003 that made him the winningest football coach in BC history. At this level, you simply have to recruit. Or... you lose. Its that simple.
I can't believe I have to defend Daz
Then don't. Be reasonable. Accept the fact that Daz can't sell and.... shut up about it. I am at peace with the fact that 7 wins (going 3-1 OOC) is the absolute best we can get with Addazio, why can't you be?

Your fabled 2003 recruiting class had the ultimate example of throwing $hit against the wall in Paul Peterson. The staff was very uncertain about Porter, so they brought in the utlra rare JUCO prospect.
As for TOB the closer, we went with Matt Ryan in that class only after TOB couldn't close on Brady Quinn.
why is this a problem? This was fantastic.
recruited the best QB in the nation in 2003.
also recruited the best tailback in the nation in 1999. That is getting it done, selling.
I am not saying that Daz has to bring in a Brian Toal or even a William Blackmon every year, but... something. Anything. Even Jags/Spaz gave us Kuechly and Andre Williams.
ATLeagle {l Wrote}:If Addazio needs to bring in a fifth year every year, who cares. Finding and developing college QBs is hard. His job is to get the best team on the field.
Okay well.... BC used to have coaches that could sell. Now they don't. And that sucks. We used to complain about how awful a game day coach
was with his annual WTF loss. Every single year, we had at least one of those. But that was only because BC was so mathematically superior to the team they were losing to on the field. NOW we have to hope against hope and wait for Addazio to present us with a possible 2014-USC-esque WTF.... win! Wow, how the mighty have fallen.
I am agreeing with the creator of this message thread. The team does not have any visible future at QB outside of the next 5th year transfer, whoever he may be. And that sucks. But that is because the man can't sell. I'm sorry if you guys are in such denial that you refuse to face that reality....
