thats some serious man crush issues. help is avaiable
We're probably going to look a lot more like Central Michigan than App State if I had to guess.
I don't think anyone really knows for sure at this point if we're being honest.
One thing that I do feel fairly confident about is we don't have the personnel for him to do what he really wants to do at this point. So let's just hope he doesn't square peg round hole our season again like every new offensive coach or coordinator we hire.
WRONG! It's never been an argument of whether or not the offense will be successful. The argument is that KB doesn't have the intellectual horsepower required to understand what the offense will actually look like because he has an incorrect preconceived notion about what "pro-style" means. And that has already been proven true, so no one has any crow to eat on that matter. Might the offense fail? Sure. But most of us want to wait and see what it actually looks like BEFORE we try to pass judgment on it.
There are plenty of people who have a healthy skepticism about it. This one guy just has an unhealthy obsession with it that is based purely on emotion. That can never be bared out to have been the correct stance, no matter what.
I think the problem is we have fans with PTSD from the pre-Mullen days that aren?t aware that it IS a possibility to have an offense that can run AND throw the ball too. I know that didn?t happen much during the Felker/Sherrill/Crooms regime but Merlins showed that you CAN have a run based offense that STILL has a 2500+ yard passer. Chris Relf was statistically better than ANY QB those 3 previous coaches ever fielded.
We just need a segment of our fans to leave the 80s and realize that modern offenses go way beyond 3 yards and a cloud of dust led by a QB that can?t hit the broad side of a barn.
Hell there are offenses these days that can run for 2000 and pass for 3500 easily in todays game. Crooms and Sherill couldn?t have put those numbers up in 2 seasons.
Lincoln Riley, that's noted Mike Leach disciple and close friend Lincoln Riley, institutes a TE and has about a 60/40 run to pass split. But every time that stat is brought up, and I've brought it up multiple times, he runs and hides until someone else posts something that he can cherrypick.
One pass completion of 80 yards nets you 80 yards. Sixteen pass completions of five yards nets you 80 yards. What is the true production, is it attempts and completions or production in yards? Were we a true pass attack with swing passes, check downs, and screens substituted for up field pass completions. I am happy to know that the garbage gadget short pass scheme is gone. I would easily take one 80 yard completion and 15 run plays over 16 five yard completions. A single back tight end offense is a four receiver attack especially when the tight end is flexed so if the opposition loads the line of scrimmage, something big might punch them in the mouth via the scoreboard?
YOU HAVE TO HAVE BALANCE TO WIN. How MF hard is that for you to understand? How many times was Mike Leach in the playoffs? ZERO. How many conference championships did he win? ZERO.
There is a cap on the pure Air Raid. Do you not understand that there's a reason NO ONE ELSE runs it? It will NEVER win big. It will get you between 7-8 wins a year and maybe once every 4 years you can win 9-10. Which is exactly our historical average for the last 14 years.
If you're going to continue with this shit for the next 8 months please leave and go get an actual hobby.
LOL @ you believing you are intellectual!!! Thanks, I needed a good laugh today!
But, I wasn't asking you.
I'll answer my own question. As I stated earlier, there really aren't two sides here. There's you, who is irrelevant, because you're just throwing an eternal childish tantrum about things you can't understand, then there's everyone else. Amongst "everyone else", there are a LOT of different takes, but most of them actually take facts, data, and actual football into account. In this camp, there's room for intelligent discussion, debate, opposing views, and general football talk. In your camp, there's just a monkey throwing dung on itself repeatedly.
