I think the stats make perfect sense. Explosive plays can be a killer, especially at the best/worst time depending on your point of view. On offense, explosive plays can compensate for bad play (AR last year), and on defense, explosive plays negate good play (defense this year).

I posted this in chat a few minutes ago.
I just can't see a Former National Championship winning coach, taking orders and working under a damn Grad Assistant, masquerading as a DC.

I would think he would be given a nice title and pay.

This is getting pretty close to being a done deal. No contract yet. He doesn’t have a lot of experience recruiting mainly because he hasn’t coached at any powerhouses. But he has put a lot of guys into the NFL.

Yeah. I’ve been seeing that. But I think it’s quite a bit of speculation. I haven’t seen anything of substance other than somebody posting something from Twitter from a random person.

I agree EXCEPT explosive plays should be figured into the other stats instead of taken out. Then compared with the explosive plays taken out.
Maybe that's what they were going after, but they didn't explain it at all.

Explosive plays are basically the best correlation to the scoring points, on offense or defense. It is pretty hard to string together 15-20 non explosives and slowly crawl down the field and score, like Billy (and Mullen) wants to do. Too many chances for a holdling or offsides to kill the drive. That is why those type coaches like to talk yardage not points, or time of possession.
Of course, points are all that matters. Pretty sure we finished 60th in scoring offense. Think that is slightly worse than last year although since they count post season stats, that could still change.
Defense of course still looks like it is being coached by a Sunbelt GA.

Do you think any of the fainting goats in the UAA office or broader UF administration are willing to risk this:

Coaches aren't allowed to swim or hang in a hot tub? If he was a she, would the same standard apply?

I’m not sure if any of the administrative guys you reference like women or not, so I’m guessing no pertinent experience. The last time we had a coach who would “unwind” with younger women, we had two NC’s. Do the math

To Back Alley’s point, it would be tough to get a guy like Stricklin on board with this. Napier would really have to sell him on the one pic where he was in a pool with 4 other guys.

We've been down this road before with coach hires. Somebody gets everyone excited and we end up with some guy named White Goodman that coached high school and moonlighted as a water delivery driver. How many times did we hire Mike Locksly over the years.
