To be clear, I’m not making a statement over whether or not he’s a good OC.
I’m making a statement over whether non-pace adjusted stats are meaningful. That’s basic math.
But if you need numbers, for the (I’m guessing) 15th time, imagine a world where an offense scores a TD and only a TD every 2nd time it gets the ball, and imagine it gets the ball 24x a game. Assuming extra points are sure things, it will have generated 84 points a game (7x24x50%=84). Now assume that another offense scores every time it has the ball, but they only have 10 possessions a game. Again assuming XPT are sure things, it would have generated 70 pts a game.
If the 2 teams play each other, the team with the offense that scores every possession will beat the team that only scores every other possession. However, the less efficient offense has a higher PPG number.
That disconnect is why per game stats are meaningless in a world where tempo offenses exist in harmony with traditional offenses using numbers and (extremely) basic math.
If you disagree with my math, then you’re beyond help (which I suspect is the case). If you disagree with our OC running a high tempo offense, then take it up with Syracuse University and the bio that they wrote about him (which I’m pretty sure was the other guy’s source).
If your feelings are vicariously hurt that I called out bad analysis, then it’s time to throw out your participation trophies.
