They were terrible this year but I don’t see FSU firing the coach after one year. Living down here in Florida many of my neighbors are big FSU fans and they all hated the hire from the beginning. It will be interesting to see how they do next year.
What it really means - in actuality - is that the entire OP’s premise was utter jibberish..... and there is no point in taking it any further than that.
But, I do expect you would - obviously- already know that, without my saying so.
(If the event that it is not, there is certainly no point in getting into a long explanation)

I think it’s instructive that, in what has pretty much been universally dubbed a “down year,” Penn State’s on field results were pretty much in line with its recruiting results. I think a lot of fans got a little spoiled by the massive overachievements in 2016 and 2017, but I’ll take performing as expected if that’s what a down year entails going forward, especially as the relative floor raises with better recruiting.
Last time..... but I don’t think I can do you any good unless you take the time to work it out on your own.
The fault lies with a basic - and utterly incorrect - premise that if you perform at a level equal to your recruiting rankings that means that your coaching was “average”.
It doesn’t.
But I imagine that most of the folks who read the OP will plant that incorrect premise in their brains.
Unless and until you can get that incorrect premise out of your head (which, from what I’ve seen in various venues, is a VERY difficult thing for most folks to do) you will never be able to grasp what IS correct.
The incorrect premise will always roadblock that process - until you blow it up.
If you really do want to “get it” the best thing you could do - I think - is go back to the 12th post in this thread and read it, carefully and critically, until you are sure you have digested it completely.
That might remove the roadblock.
I think that is - truly - as much help as I can be.
I’ll check out of this thread - because I know there will be a whole lot of stoopid posted by some folks from here on out (and, as some would attest, I have little patience for that when I see it
I wouldn’t in my wildest dreams/nightmares try to “Quantify Coaching” (it was the OP premise, and the link there, that was trying to quantify coaching)..... nor how much success is determined by coaching, or recruiting or what else - - - it was the original premise which was based upon Success being derived only from Coaching and Recruiting... not me. In fact, I think that premise is ridiculous.
Those figures you reference were EXAMPLES to illustrate - to someone wanting to understand - the simple and non-subjective definitiveness of the OP premise being simply incorrect.
I don’t think I could have made that any more clear.
Use any numbers you want.
Post 12.
Or, just go with whatever you like
It certainly don’t matter.
