I have far less disagreement with you than you assume.
My gripe with our offense isn’t personnel, and it isn’t scheme per se.
Rewatch this years SECCG if you can stomach it (I have to accompany it with a few drinks)...around 4:30 remaining in the second quarter we slow down the offense big time. We had a lead and were trying to shift to a more ball control look to speed the proceedings along.
Prior to that mark, we were in a rhythm unlike anything we had seen all year. Fromm was playing out of his mind, the line was clicking, everyone was confident and the ball was moving.
We never found the rhythm again. When we needed ONE drive in the fourth quarter, we couldn’t do it.
That’s what I’m talking about. Similar story for the CFPNCG last year as well. It’s also why I’m not advocating an OC change. I don’t think we would see benefit, because the things that are holding us back come from over the OC’s head.

I agree that some of what Chaney does follow's Kirby's principle. Kirby's a relatively inexperienced HC and he makes bad decisions too. I think he needs a very experienced OC who he can trust to make the best decisions, and I hope he learns to do that a bit more often. Chaney may not be the best we can do, but I'm just as leery of coordinators who have a wide open, high scoring scheme. They tend to fail in tough moments too.

Exactly. Think back to the old FSU days with Bobby B. He had the step on their throats mentality, never laid off the gas, and you'd see them score into the 60's and 70's routinely (the "style points" era).
We had almost 15 years of first-hand knowledge that all that was coming from him and not his OC at the time.
