It also makes it hard to hire when you tell a coach "a bowl in 2 years or you are out of here and we'll fight you over severance".
Barring malfeasance they need to look at that recruiting class, the prospects of transfers, and how the Spring shapes up. I expect GDL is gone in December. Warde and PP have a chance to show they can hire talented assistants
There is having a bad two years and then there is what we have. Could it be worse? Yes. Are there one or two areas that are mildly encouraging? Yes.
But overall we are a big bold down arrow. With every decision, statement, play call etc. we see the ineptitude. Pasqualoni is just doing the same failed stuff that he was doing when he was taking Syracuse down.
It's one thing to hold on to a coach that is losing but you can still see the little improvements and the small things that lead you to be optimistic in the future.
Look, Paul Pasqualoni is a good guy but any reasonable person can see that this job is too big for him. He may have been a good HC back in the day, when the game was different but he isn't nowl
College football is different now. We are undergoing a renaissance of sorts in offensive philosophy. Teams are running far more sophisticated schemes with similar talent levels. They are doing it without the sloppy delay of game calls. We're running really simple stuff, and the players, particularly the offensive line are still not getting it.
That's coaching. That's not the players. When a teacher is teaching and the student isn't responding then you find new methods to get through to the student. Whatever these coaches are doing is not getting through to the players.
At this point a reasonable person can see that Paul Pasqualoni is a bad fit. It's not that he is the wrong coach at the wrong time. The truth is that there is never a time for a coach like him.
