Could this man be the next HC?

I have known Kevin Tresolini for many years. On a few occasions over those years, Kevin has asked me for my opinion as a UD fan on a few UD athletic issues. The same is true for many other UD fans who Kevin has quoted over the yerars.

Bill, just about to agree with you about KT then I see the crap you write about Perry. We've had some outstanding OL coaches at UD and Gregg is one of them. For someone so interested in and often seemingly knowledgeable of UD football you certainly are one negative nit.

HZ - how would you answer Bill's question?

I've watched all of the Hen OL coaches for hours at practice and most were extremely impressive by my standards in coaching technique and motivational skills. Perry is as good as any I've seen here. My answer would be yes, I believe he did a good job and I'm not interested in debating it as it's just my personal opinion.

I say this. The Ravens fired their OC in the season this year. they looked anemic at times and could not score points, etc......now with the same personel and a different playcaller, they look like world beaters. So I do not have an issue with Perry. he has years of experience and should be heavily considered.

So, who other than Henzone was satisfied with the Offensive Line play this year? If not satisfied and no blame is to be attached to OL Coach Perry, where does the blame lie? The offesnsive scheme (blame Hofher & Keeler) couldn't allow the O Line to be effective? The O-Line wasn't physically developed enough (bame conditioning staff?)? The O-Line didn't have enough talent and/or heart (balme Keeler & staff recruiting)? The O Line was too injured (blame the fates or the conditioning staff)? Other?

Like I said with the Ravens, maybe the scheme was not to the strength of the players on hand and needed adjustment. The Ravens offense looks light years different with the same players and coaches minus Cam Cameron. Maybe with a different Offensive approach we would see a different product on the field.

On the whole, I thought the OL did alright under the conditions and were improved over 2011. I wouldn't necessarily assigned their problems to insufficient coaching. Gregg Perry has proven himself an exceptional coach over many years. He's a great man and hopefully will stay on in some capacity. JMO.

OK, maybe you guys are growing soft in your old age or just forget what happened in October or November but our OL didn't perform anywhere near the level needed to help lift this team to playoff caliber. Period. End of story.

Let's throw out opinions & enter the world of facts:

Out of 11 CAA Teams:

UD ranked 9th in rushing yards per game
UD ranked T-9th in yards per carry
UD ranked 11th in sacks allowed (and did so by a wide margin)

All 3 of those stats reflect heavily on the OL.

Those were the facts, my opinion: I sit right behind the OL when they're on the sidelines & have never seen less interaction during the game with an OL coach & his unit. Turner, Flood, Wrobo, whoever it was seemed to have more of a two-way conversation on what was going on, what the defensive front seven was doing and there seemed to be in-game adjustments happening. Perry seemed to follow the Andy Reid approach & go in with a game plan and you sink or swim with it. All season long we heard rumblings of anarchy on the offensive side of the ball among coaches. Hofher's gone & wasn't tight lipped on his way out, little KC is gone, Keeler is gone, I won't bat an eye if/when Perry is gone.

Just to be devils advocate here, I'm sure Perry's a great guy, but he was also the OL coach when the '01 OL was a disaster, he was here two years ago when a very veteran OL crapped the bed in '11, and last year's OL wasn't anything to write home about. Other than him being a great guy and I'm sure with connections throughout Delaware and New Castle County, what makes him untouchable or without blame?

Perry was not the o-line coach in 2011. And really? Bringing up 2001? One bad year out of the 20+ years he was the o-line coach. It's not like we didn't have a QB or anything either. Perry had a tough job replacing 4 starters this past year. With everyone back, let's see how he does this year should he get that opportunity.

Is it really important now that KC is gone and 2011 is behind us that we look for additional scapegoats? You guys are sadists.

This discussion was started by a post that supported Greg Perry as UD's next HC. Thus, looking back at Perry's body of work is currenlty relevant.
