What happened to Jeff Traylor? Not having Frank Harris at QB.
Same issue with Kevin Sumlin not having Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel at QB.
That is why I pause considering a head coach candidate having a good season riding the coattails of a good QB. I need a head coach candidate that has won with multiple rosters.
That is why I favored Willie Fritz over Jeff Traylor.
I think so many programs get caught in the hype of a few good seasons.
What they really need to see is how well that guys recruits are for a couple years. This means a coach actively coaching through a complete 4 year recruiting cycle.
Tell that to Georgia. Carson Beck and Stetson Bennett have both been mid at best, and yet they’ve won two of the last three national championships and are a strong contender for a third this year.
