Synaesthesia

And even with that caveat, being 1-8 is not THAT much underperformance

Teams only win about 50% of 1-possession games in the long run (think 10+ seasons at least). If VT were 4-5 instead of 1-8 they would be basically exactly where you expect, and 3 games in the course of 2.1 seasons can't be easily differentiated from statistical noise. Now, if we were talking about Scott Frost and Nebraska, who went something like 1-20 in close games, OK that really is systemic, that's too far out of bounds to be just a statistical oddity.

VT is 1-8 in one-score games in the Pry era.

That totally ignores the reality of the rebuild Pry walked into

I, for one, don't care about the closeness of the scores. I care about

How can Pry have such a huge rebuild when you defended everything Fu did?**

The 1-8 record is really misleading though...
