I took it more as him saying we can't do what we want

We want to be a ball control offense that pounds the running game, uses play action, and gets the ball to playmakers who can get extra yards in space (a classic approach that works well with great talent). But as he said, we have proven that we are not that team this year. We can't just line up and have our guys beat theirs. So we will need to use creative schemes and play calls to mask our weaknesses. The risk is that if we don't execute, we could have more 3 and outs and create an even worse situation for our Defense. I expect we might see some new sets and a different flavor of offense next game to get things moving. I don't think we are going full mint choc chip, but we could see some vanilla bean with mint chips.

CC's article troubling to me...

Did folks actually need Pry to say the offense was vanilla to see red flags

Some of the more technical staff at TSL suggested this was by design...

Actually heard there was concern that it was high schoolish**

How similar is Tech's O to PSU's?
likehokies 10/17/22 01:31 PM ET
A first time HC, OC, DC in the P5

Pry has basically communicated from day one that he wasn't going to have

If you have this big an issue with our coaching staff for your own
fordham 10/17/22 02:30 PM ET
Offensive scheme week-week-zero toss sweeps, no reverses, no jet sweeps
vtpmt81 10/17/22 12:17 PM ET
Zero runs outside where you see other teams make big gains
VAHokie89 10/18/22 09:56 PM ET
I don't remember a single screen pass. The OL can't block anyone. No DL is
VermontHokie 10/17/22 02:35 PM ET
The QB can't even hit wide open WRs with a deep ball. Are you wanting more?**
HokieKanger 10/17/22 12:59 PM ET
And when he does they drop it**
bburgnative 10/17/22 05:23 PM ET
Alternate take - Pry is just a lot more candid than most coaches
NOFX 10/17/22 11:54 AM ET
Good point.**
RJHokie 10/17/22 11:57 AM ET
Disagree, bit of opposite take, I LOVED Prys PC.

It was scarier to me when he told Roth the day of the ODU game that it had
97Hokie 10/17/22 11:21 AM ET
Or maybe we realize we are just starting the process
fordham 10/17/22 11:06 AM ET
Nah, we're learning what we've got week by week. Discussion always good.**
Techsupport 10/17/22 01:53 PM ET
So our only option if you can’t t take our coaches is to fire
fordham 10/17/22 02:25 PM ET
Let's review...
Techsupport 10/18/22 09:01 AM ET
I choose "Patience". ;-)**
HokieJay 10/17/22 11:09 AM ET
It’s the 2nd or 3rd time he’s expressed issues with his offense.
3TechFanz 10/17/22 10:56 AM ET
Should he air his discontent in public, or in private?
EDGEMAN 10/17/22 11:44 AM ET
Praise in public, criticize in private.**
