Wrong on all counts there.

While “efficiency” and other stats are cute, it’s total points (e.g. the end score) that actually wins games.

Scott’s offenses were much less dynamic so they chose to go the slow route and reduce the number of possessions per game. Betting on the defense to keep things tight. Fall behind by more than a TD and the game was over. It’s great to be “super efficient”, but if you score once per game in doing so you are doomed to lose.

Dino’s offense is much more dynamic. It can score points at any time from anywhere on the field. Would Dino like to score on all drives? Sure. But even if he doesn’t, if he scores enough then it will force the opponent to take bigger risks which could lead to more turnovers, and better results, by the Tampa-2 defense.

Until Dino has his roster in place there will be some big losses, as we’ve seen. Scott endured plenty himself as well... even though he was allegedly “more efficient”.That GA Tech game was the most painful game I’ve ever witnessed in person. In the meantime, most will be happier watching close up-beat contests instead of boring, defensive struggles.
