Loefller facts/thoughts

Only reason I was ok w this hire was because it seemed to be an improvement over our High School competent offensive coaching staff. I did not buy any of the QB coach hype.. Tom Brady at Michigan, Tim Tebow at Florida.. I only gave him credit for his Temple stats and really did not blame him for the Auburn blemish either.

I felt like the media and fans hyped him up to be something special but that it was hollow as it related to his previous accomplishments that pretty much were undocumented.. meaning there was a lot of sizzle and little steak and we did not know what we were getting w Loeffler.

Listen I know VT has basically no talent on Offense.. no skill players to think of that we start walk on players etc. I get all of that. Edmunds should be a LB and JC is a scat back at best. We do not have a legitimate feature back, I understand all of that.

-AU under Loeffler was #115 ranked offense.
-Mahlzan takes the same group and has them ranked #13 in the country.
-AU is running wild over their opponents.. maybe ranked #8 in the country in rushing offense
-It is the same group that Loeffler had with the exception of a new QB and a new LG.
-Dont fool yourself, AU is killing folks w almost the same players on offense.

-VT has regressed and rank around #110 on offense
-A new OC hire is supposed to provide some sort of a boost, not get worse
-I would have been happy w a #70-80 offensive ranking
-If our QB is running the ball for 100 yds in a game, that disguises how ineffective our traditional run game is
-Loeffler should get more time to prove himself.. maybe 2 years at best but the jury is out big time and I am not surprised based on his undocumented/unproven prior record. Sorry, he does not get a pass from me because Lloyd Carr said so..
