Guys this is a chicken and the egg situation. You can perpetually state "its talent" if the team doesn't perform, and they don't perform if you don't coach them well. So inherently there's no way to prove "its the talent" statement wrong to those that are utterly convinced of this thesis. (The truth of course, lies somewhere in the middle)

But perhaps there's some useful measuring sticks. I think most of us can agree that our talent level is higher than G5 teams. Here's how Vandy has performed against its opponents using this metric.





As you can see, in every instance but ONE for both offense and defense (different games), our team has been outperformed by G5 teams with lesser talent vs our SEC opponents (as well as well under our opponents average). Coaching makes a substantial difference guys.
