We lucked into some of the guys that we have, and if we want to go find more, you can't be wishing on diamonds in the rough every season if you want to compete for championships regularly. You can't. Josh Pate said it like this when Nick Saban was still coaching. He said, you're not going to out develop Nick Saban and Kirby Smart, because those dudes are developing with the best of them too. But they're starting from level eight, and you're starting from level three. So in the fourth quarter, their dudes go find points, plays, turnovers, whatever they need to do, because they were already 4.8 stars. That we have now developed into 5 stars. My point is, is that you got to have more than one guy that can do the job at QB. In this league, in most Power 4 leagues, last year over half the teams in the Power 4 FBS went to their backup quarterback for at least one meaningful start. And when I say meaningful, I mean, it wasn't like a coach's decision that we're gonna arrest them. It was, yeah, either the guy was playing so bad, we had to change, or they got hurt and we needed him to start again. So if you don't have two quarterbacks that can do the job, or if you don't have a situation where your backup quarterback can also come in and there was a version of this offense that will be effective for him with the personnel that you have, you failed.

So if we have no choice but to stick with Byrum until the end of the season, you failed somewhere along the way. Because you did not even give yourself the option to go another direction.

I think that there was maybe too much faith put into the, I think there was maybe too much faith put in into the fact that he would be the same guy here that he was at USF.

Absolutely, because you also felt that he was going to have the chemistry with.
