Searles, like most coaches has looked good when he had a really talented team to work with and looked pretty poor when working with lesser offenses. He's been a bit of a journeyman but has made some good connections. He worked with Richt in Georgia and at MIami. Before that he was at LSU under Les Miles. He got a ring there but their offenses were generally average to below average. He had a nice run at Texas before heading to Viriginia Tech under Frank Beamer and generally getting very little production. North Carolina put up really good offensive numbers last year despite finishing tied for 102nd in sacks allowed per game. (worse than Miami btw) I guess you could say they were better run blockers than pass blockers?
