innocentbystander {l Wrote}:eagletx {l Wrote}:I understand promoting the stupid idea of bringing in grad transfer QB's, as Addazio's history of mismanaging the position leads one to believe that anybody with any useful experience would be an improvement. Of course, that also is evidence that 6 years in, Addazio still doesn't have a consistent clue as to the kind of offense he wants to run, year to year.
At Boston College, that is an advantage of Addazio, not a disadvantage. Some schools can afford to be super choosy with their recruits because they are plugging them into a offensive and defensive scheme that they know works for them. BC can't afford to be picky and choosy with top notch recruits. BC needs to take every single top notch recruit they can get their hands on and then build an offensive and defensive scheme around those top athletes that maximizes their advantages while minimizing their deficiencies. The only way you accomplish that is by changing the offense and the defense (year-to-year if needs be) to get the most out of your best players. You do NOT force them to play football in a manner that they are not best utilized.eagletx {l Wrote}:This year is no different, as the QB options appear to be a " dual threat" (cough) option in Brown, or the more conventional pocket QB in McDonald.
We all want the "single threat" Matt Ryan-esque QB back on this team. QBs like that come to BC once in a generation. Until Addazio learns how to recruit those QBs (he doesn't know how yet) we are going to have to make do.eagletx {l Wrote}:The fact that we are two weeks away from season start and that conundrum has not been resolved is so Addazio. So, lets resolve it by looking for an outsider. I get it. Psst...the problem ain't a QB problem. It's a HC problem. But hell, that 8-5 season will put to rest all those nasty speculation about Addazio's ceiling, eh?
Preaching to the choir. We all want him fired (albeit for different reasons.)
So, how does a guy like Addazio recruit players? Simply chasing "the best athlete available" regardless of need or respective skill set? I'd think he needs a much bigger staff.
It was always my apparent naive belief that a coaching staff had a plan, a philosophy, a "program design" that guided the kind of athletes they needed to make "the program" successful and guided where they spent their time and resources recruiting.
Addazio seemingly has gone back and forth, seemingly unsure as to whether he wants a spread offense, a dual threat QB, a three yards and a cloud of dust offense, etc..etc..etc..
So I guess its your contention that BC is at such a competitive disadvantage that a offensive or defensive philosophy is luxury that Addazio cannot afford, and that his "system" must change every couple of years based on who he is fortunate enough to convince to come to BC.
Wow. He be a slam dunk as a pop warner coach.
