So what you're insinuating is..the expectation that MIA should at the very minimum have on it's roster NFL caliber QBs is actually setting the bar too high-is that correct? Might I remind you..this is @ MIA of all places, a place once known as QB-U! Being an NFL caliber QB is also relevant from the standpoint that both Whipple & Fisch are NFL caliber coaches, that deploy NFL based systems. Finally, you said that being an NFL caliber QB has nothing to do with being good in college, but can you name some good college QBs that didn't at the very least get drafted, or sign free agent deals? Colt Brennan at least ended up getting drafted.
I agree that MIA historically has not been an Offensive powerhouse school. However during our championship seasons, we have had elite Offenses. In 01' we had the 3rd best Offense in the country, and in 09' we ranked 7th. Comparatively speaking it appears as though, with better personnel, Whipple had the potential to be a championship caliber OC. I don't think you quite understand how big of an accomplishment it is for Whipple to field the 7th best Offense in the country, when prior to him arriving @ MIA we ranked 59th. All this with a QB that never played in the NFL, and a HC that never received another job. What he was able to achieve in 09' is almost a borderline miracle, and should not be easily dismissed.
To reiterate, as I mentioned in my previous posts, the reasons why Jacory became more efficient under Fisch, was due to a more conservative approach, better personnel around him, and him being a Sr. With that said, the improvements were only marginal, and not significant, particularly his INT % per attempt. Regardless though his best season was still in 09' under Whipple.
I think making the argument that Jacory was a better QB than Mavre, Freeman, & Wright is more reasonable, than trying to make the case that Whipple was not an elite OC. Despite the overwhelming evidence that I've put forth in this thread, if there is still any doubt as to whether or not Whipple is an elite Offensive mind, it will all be erased, after MIA plays Pitt later this yr. After that game, it will be made abundantly clear that in this profession, Whipple is indeed a MADE-MAN.
