I like to come at these things and put them in perspective. Im sure there been lots of discussion of criticism for everyone when you lose. All is fair, no one is perfect, no one is immune from criticism especially on offense and not from the HC position. All that said, TVD is not the only problem, he is the MAIN problem.
This season CFB games are averaging 24 possessions per game. Meaning its like 12 possessions per team. TVD has had 10 picks and 2 fumbles that were turnovers giving him a total of 12 in 4 games. So of the 12 possessions, give the opponent 3 on top of their 12. Thats not counting our defense creating turnovers. So the opps get 15 possessions to win and we get 9. Yall see the problem with that? Yall see the difficulty with try to call plays with that? Then Cristobal and Dawson compounds that by playing a slow hass tempo. Now you see why we are struggling as much? Its the combination of those 2 things that has us where we at. Thats how you struggle with average to bad teams like GT, NC St and UVA.
But it starts with the turnovers.
Ill use a certain game for example to show u how distructive or not turnovers are. Pedo St v Ohio St.
Pedo had 240 yards, Haller had 191 yards passing on 18/42, 0 TDS and the team had no turnovers.
Ohio had a turnover and 365 yards and the game finished 20-12.
Pedo could not do anything on offense but their players did not try to do what wasnt there and they had a chance throughout against a more talented team
If we dont have 3 and 4 turnovers in the last 4 games TVD has played, we win all of them. All things equal maybe even losing the turnover battle by 1.
This is not me defending them not using Brashard or having McCormick on passing downs catching check downs. None of that. Or the fkn slow hass pace of the offense. I am just saying everything has been dominoes from TVD turning the ball over. We could have gone better than 1-3 with Emory, even if he played like he did v Clemson.
The only reason we even made those games close and won v UVA, is the defense.
He has to be removed
