As with Drew Mehringer, won’t part of the issue with Sean Gleeson be do we have players suited to run his offense?
That wasn’t a DM/SG/offensive coordinator problem.
That was an Ash/HC problem.
Any drastic change in offensive philosophy is going to take a couple YEARS.
It’s not an immediate - flip of the switch - thing.
Takes time to turn over the roster, install plays, improve conditioning of the players.
Ash (and most of the fanbase) panicked after 2016 and turned to an awful, low scoring, ball control, slow offensive system that got worse and worse each year.
Remember all the "We don't have time to develop a new offense. We need to win now! Ash won't be able to recruit unless we go back to the Pro-Style and win!"
How did that work out?
I trust Schiano to not panic after one year and give the no-huddle, up-tempo offense the time it needs.
Most likely, the 2020 offense isn't going to very good.
Everyone needs to realize this and accept it.
When HC Babers took over Syracuse in 2016, he said it would take 2 years to fully install his no-huddle, up-tempo system.
