If Pease was such a dynamic offensive mind, why has he been wasting away as an FCS position coach all these years?
It is a fact that Pease is known as a righteous prick that verbally berates his players with regularity.
It is also a fact that Pease was once a hot coaching commodity that managed to burn bridges at multiple high level FBS jobs.
Fact that Pease was maybe the most coveted OC in ‘12 with Saban of Alabama and Muschamp of Florida both fighting for him. What FBS bridges did he burn? The same coach, Guy Morriss, hired him at Kentucky and Baylor and then had high praise for him when he was hired at Florida. He got 2 years at Florida winning 11 games with a Fr QB his first year. The 2nd year he lost his QB for the year 3 weeks in, lost his starting RB, his top WR, three offensive tackles, and his 2nd string QB to injuries throughout the rest of the year, all while being forced by Muschamp to run a ground and pound offense that made games very close and left little margin for error. Muschamp was forced to make a scapegoat of someone and unfortunately Pease was the guy. For what it’s worth Muschamp was fired the next season for a 2nd consecutive non-winning season and being the head coach that ran Floridas storied program into the ground. Also, from what posters who attend practices now a days have said, Pease has calmed down a lot. A lot of posters remember him being a d I c k back in the day but no one seems to have witnessed it recently and posters who have talked to players say he’s not as bad as he used to be.
