We have a tremendous staff.

Generally I agree but I am not convinced Pritchard belongs in that bucket.  Jury's still out on that and I think next year will be a big determining factor.  That neither Chryst nor Burns was ready to take the helm of this offense and perform at the necessary level causes me to question his skills.  If we see similar issues with Costello throughout next season then I think it will be time for a new QB coach.

Plenty of highly-touted high school players just never make the leap to the college level.  So it's hard to pin one or two disappointing QB's on Pritchard.  When one after another highly-recruited QB's consistently disappoint, however, it's certainly cause to get to the root cause, whether it's the QB coach, the "system," or whatever.  I'd say there are enough deep-yellow flags to start looking closely.  If another 4/5 star QB disappoints, something's gotta give...
