The Quakers have a new coach, Al Bagnoli.Bagnoli, who previously coached at Division IIIUnion, promises to bring dramatic changes to thePenn program.
He is putting in a well-balanced, wide-openoffense designed to run or pass equallyeffectively. He wants a defense that can play bothman-to-man and zone, applying a lot of pressure tothe quarterback.
Bagnoli is talking about the moon. But hedoesn't have a rocket to take him there.
First of all, his players will have to learnthe Bagnoli system, effectively reducing them torookie competency. Look for a lot of botched playsand missed assignments, especially early on in theyear.
Secondly, he just doesn't have the personnel tomake Penn the "Team of the '90s."
