Darlin’: “SP+” is the “+” in “F+.” SP+ likes Candle’s offenses in the years that F+ likes them. And I cited those years. SP+ has Toledo’s offense 10th in 2016. F+ has it 13th. They basically agree. The problem is SP+ is also going to agree with how sh*tty Toledo’s offense has been the...

You’re lost. At no point did I try to respond to your raw stats post. You posted his raw numbers, and asked why would anybody want this? I didn’t try to correct those. I didn’t respond to that post with analytic rankings. I responded to the part of your post about why anybody would try to...

Dude…

Even ESPN uses SP+ now. ****, they hired away the inventor of it from Football Study Hall so they can use it. The fact that you have never heard of any of this is kinda telling.

You’re confused here. I said I will not respond to a post of yours of you citing raw stats. You’ve cited them before. And I haven’t tried to dunk on them or clown you over them or anything. They are dumb, and not worth responding to. That’s what I said. That’s not the same thing as saying...

Lol. Wut? I’ve explained why a bunch. I think stats that don’t account for level of defense played, field position, pace of play, garbage time/blowout time, etc., are dumb. You can disagree. But why I don’t use those stats, I’ve told you already.

No I didn’t. I initially chose to respond to a post of yours that had nothing to do with any raw stats. I don’t think that’s worth responding to. That’s not the same thing as saying I wouldn’t respond to anything.

And you miss me with the type of stats that the people that believe in I-Formation football and playing for field position, cite. I think anybody that says, “I don’t care that they played collectively the worst defenses in college football, that shouldn’t be accounted for when looking at...

Except for the comparable offensive rankings I cited, you’re right.

Yes, if you ignore things like strength of schedule played, pace of play, etc. F+ Rankings: 2014: Michigan: 81 Toledo: 27 2015: UF: 78 Toledo: 47 2016: UF: 81 Toledo: 13 2017: Toledo: 37 UF: 71 The numbers were heavy in favor of Candle until 2017. But then Candle went the way of...

Didn’t say there was. But you have to be able to think like others. Even if you can’t actually justify how they got there. What I posted above is how idiots will rationalize the hire. And to be fair, there’s a lot of people doing that with Candle as well. His numbers basically mirror...

which was known at the time too. It was a bad hire for Mario. He should have backed up the brinks truck to hire Partridge.

His offenses probably aren’t as bad when you adjust for strength of schedule, but are still pretty bad. I think people try to make excuses for him based on the context. Brady Hoke was at the end of his run and the team was in collapse. Muschamp was at the end of his and hated offense. And...
