How Much Power Does ZT Have?

I'm sure they thought the new guy could learn from Taylor and thrive in his offense. He obviously didn't develop.

2015: 33.8 ppg (37rd ranked offense. The year before Taylor came.)

2016: 19.6 ppg under Taylor

But, the notion that Tubberville basically put a bad QB in on purpose for the season to fail is likely not accurate. I'm sure THEY (yes - ZT included) probably thought they could get Moore to develop an have him for a few years in Taylors offense.

Obviously that plan failed and they BOTH got fired.

I doubt Tubberville had some diabolical plan to have the 123rd ranked offense. Obviously he thought Taylor/Moore would perform better.

We're not assuming jack squat, it was widespread knowledge and was talked about by Tuberville himself. He didn't like Gunner. He was asked about it constantly. You clearly weren't paying the slightest bit of attention to UC football so you need to stop pretending that he wasn't. Tuberville didn't give a rat's ass where his offense ended up finishing because he was here to get a paycheck and nothing more.

Again, you can quote those numbers all you want but it doesn't change the fact that the drop off is entirely related to the fact that they lost their 4 top receivers, leading rusher, and best QB. Any team is taking a huge step back at that point, especially a team in a mid-major conference with a head coach that has no interest in recruiting replacements.

You're clearly completely ignorant on the subject. It's not even debatable at this point. You should just move on and find some other terrible point to prop up.
