I'll give him a 7. He dealt with alot of issues last year, but they appeared to me to be mostly created by the turnover and Prince discipline he wanted to instill. I thought we returned enough talent from the year before (or would have had they not left) that we should've won 7 games last year. But, the system changeover was a very complete changeover. The O-Line was pathetic and the QB was erratic. Put those two together and it was tough to show any consistency from week to week. The coaching staff couldn't count on a good running game, or on time to throw from week to week because protection was so lousy. That being said, I didn't think we did some of things we could've to counter pass rushes, etc. I think Prince wants to have a team that can run or pass, and he will game plan according to the perceived strengths and weaknesses of any particular opposition. That differs from some coaches who try to acheive a 50-50 balance (or whatever their number is) every game...regardless of what the opponent can do. I salute Prince for realizing that a balanced attack means being able to exploit whatever is available...I just hope our O-Line enables us to do that this year. Defensively, I don't like the Cover 2, so I hope we see very little of that this year. I just think it allows the opponents too many openings to get 4-6 yds. I gave Prince a 7, but I don't yet have a comfort level that he won't lead us down the tubes.
