I have full confidence in Coley. He is going to be a superstar.
My concerns are with:
Dawson and CDH to utlise Luke best abilities.
Our offensive game plan has to improve. We were highly predictable this season. This has to evolve in the right direction.
Our OL has to step up. I keep reading that we have improved. An improved and dominant OL is one that impose a running game. We are far from that.
Our WR’s to put it mildly have show us that we can be unstoppable with our so called air raid offense. I woukd like multiple TE’s fully involved too. That is a lot to ask but we have IMO a truly special QB.

That s the idea of the fanbase so I guess many believe Coley thinks like they do
Lucas looks solid, based on his recruiting offers.
Both Dana and Kendall Briles identified him as a good prospect before his Senior season.
A basic question concerns the level of competition already on our roster. Particularly Holman Edwards.
Dana already knows this.

He was so involved on the sidelines, really pumping up his teammates. Always congratulating them.

Looks to me like a good kid and teammate and I’ve seen video of him throwing and he can get the ball there in a hurry.

What stood out for me this season was his constant support of his teamates even in the darkest moments.
From his recruiting profile we see great promise. His touch, timing and decision making are outstanding. Now this is a different world, different step. All for Lucas to embrace it.

Hopefully Dana will let us see him during spring practice…
How do you know what the fanbase thinks about Coley? Have you taken a poll? I would bet most of our fan base doesn’t know who any of our backups are. BTW, don’t confuse what some of our posters think with what our average fans think.

I hadn’t paid attention really to Parrish on the sidelines until Tulsa game. He was into it. You could tell he was a good teamate. I had never seen a backup as energetic as Coley on the sidelines.

Tune potentially sitting out doesn’t really bother me…kind of sad when a senior qb leader who has been the guy for so many years doesn’t bother me. It’s no knock against him, just a comment on my apathy
I would love to see Tune start the bowl game, play a quarter, and then give the reigns over to Coley. It would be a symbolic “passing of the torch”. I would hope fans would give Tune a standing ovation for all he has done for the university.

Have no idea if he is good or not. Biggest concern is CDH would rarely play him in mop up time. Why not give him game experience to prep him if he’s your QB of the future?

Allen had talent that CMA didn’t know how to use because he wasn’t an RPO QB

We rarely had mop up time and when we did Coley played. He was just in to run out the clock and hand off though.
What mop up situations did he not play?

He could have been played more, but (a) we didn’t have close games and (b) I think they were trying to rack up numbers for Tune for the record-board.
I’d rather they have played him more. Not the least of which because Tune got hot and cold. But I think in general we should normalize cycling QBs in and out. If you make it a part of the game, you take out the Vote of No Confidence factor. Start one out of every 4 or 5 possessions, then adjust on performance if the backup QB is doing well and the starting isn’t. It gets the backup some experience, increases flexibility, and forces defenses to prepare for two quarterbacks.
0 pass attempts vs Navy.
Threw only 2 passes in final 2 minutes vs USF. Tune still in up 21 and 7 minutes left.
0 pass attempts vs ECU.
If Dana is sacrificing preparing for the future to pad a departing individual player’s stats, that’s another red flag
