Why are we talking about Ponce? He is not even a serious candidate.

I brought him up a couple of times (as did a few other posters), but I'd offer Sean Lewis a similar amount of money that we used to entice Candle. Lewis doesn't even make 500K, you could go lower and use some extra $$$ for a top-notch DB coach like Karl Scott etc.

Lewis is lethal; hope Mario is working the back-channels there.
 
Going into Week 12, App. State’s offense had an explosive rate of 71st in the country.

That’s with the best weapons in the SBC. A WR unit that Phil Steele had ranked like Top 10-ish overall IN THE COUNTRY.

They have NFL prospects at WR and RB.

And 71st is the best you can do with those explosive weapons available?

Get that as far away from my team as possible.

Analytics are part of the puzzle. Some are helpful, some are idiotic.

SP+ (which is incorporated into the F+ ranking) had two-loss Oklahoma 2008 as the greatest team of the modern era. That is stupid.

Here is a less-stupid opinion: a team that scores 34 ppg on an average amount of plays and wins 10 games is a good offense.

I mean i hear what youre saying.. but i think what you are ignoring is the talent level he had compared to the rest of the SUNBELT.. He had an ACC QB, 2 NFL caliber WR's, and 2 NFL caliber RB's... A lot of that success is purely from they were better than most teams they played. I mean ****, he could barely move the ball on our sorry defense.. Which i think is a great indicator when all things were equal on the field.

I have a plethora of friends here in NC. that went to App St and they are BEGGING us to take him off their hands, 100% of them cant stand him as an OC.
 
Has Cribby, JayCane, or any media member brought up Ponce, or are we having a preemptive freak out?

I need to know what level meltdown to adjust to.

Not seriously, no. Just all fun and games and speculation (for now); although there was a Cooney tweet indicating he was in S.Fla today.

Manny Diaz also based his entire defensive philosophy on analytics.

The thing is, people are so desperate for that one stat that proves an offense is good/bad and it doesn’t exist. There’s a ton of factors that can skew analytical data. That’s why coaches need to use numbers on a macro level as opposed to focusing on one or two sets of data.

I’m all for using as many metrics as you can rather than the old “gut instinct” but baseball is a completely different animal than football. Mostly due to the fact that baseball is essentially a one vs one game with pitcher and batter.
