    ZA keeps things tight that's for sure. He's is a very good OL coach though.

    What's funny is that we have all these new assistant coaches whose background is in the pro style system, but we have some thinking that we aren't really going to run a pro style system.

    Schmidt was the OL coach for Anae who was the OC...Anae coached under Mike Leach. Syracuse was not running a pro system. Nice try though

    Syracuse wasn't, but the majority of his career has come at San Diego State, who absolutely does run a pro style system. So, you have Mike Schmidt who has been a part of Andy Ludwig's and Jeff Horton's pro style system at SDSU, Will Friend who has coached nothing but pro style in his career, Chad Bumphis coming from Ludwig's pro style system, and Barbay who comes from McElwain's pro style system.

    Everyone here knows two things, we aren't throwing it 75% of the time and you clearly despise that. WE GET IT. Just stop watching us. Or keep up your insufferable bitching.

    Coaches can coach multiple styles and meshes of offenses.

    But you keep on being a special kind of miserable douche. It helps me to picture you like this after you post though.

    We get it. Any offense that doesn?t throw 65 five yard passes per game is pro style. How are we ever going to move the ball ever again!

    Tried to tell you guys were were about to go back to just pounding the rock. This HC tenure won't last long if that's the case.

    So you think we don't have a chance vs Auburn, A&M, Ark, or Ole Miss?

    Do you agree that even with Leach calling the plays, we had zero chance to beat Bama or UGA?

    Good thing is, we have a new AD who has spent almost his entire career around the Air Raid system. When we make this change after two years, I believe Selmon will get us back to the Air Raid.

    Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a hire based soley on Arnett's personal experience with the dude. Arnett was at San Diego St between 2011 and 2019, and every year he was there, so too was Schmidt. Here's Schmidt's coaching bio:

    '09 - '11 San Diego State - GA
    '12 - '20 San Diego State - Offensive Line
    2021 Syracuse - Offensive Line
    2022 Syracuse - Offensive Line/Run Game Coordinator

    The personal angle also makes the most sense because the OL numbers at Syracuse . . . well, they're not great. In 2022, they gave up sacks on 10.3% of all pass attempts. That's good for 126th in the nation. It was just as bad in 2021, when their sack rate was 10%, good for 120th in the nation. Put another way: Syracuse was dead last in the ACC in passes attempted in ACC games. And yet, they were also dead last in the ACC in sacks allowed. Yikes . . . .

    To be fair, the OL was just as bad at pass blocking in the two years before he arrived. But it's a bummer that they showed no improved in his two years.

    Now, the run blocking wasn't quite so bad, at least not across the board. They were only 8th in the ACC in in-conference yards per carry in 2022, so that's not great, but they were 2nd in '21. And while they were bad at preventing TFLs in both '21 and '22 -- they allowed TFLs or zero-yards-gained on 19.3% of their RB carries in '21 and 18.5% in '22, which rank 90th and 84th nationally -- they were ok to pretty good at other things like gaining first downs on short yardage runs.

    Sounds like an emphasis on run blocking.
    But that probably an unfair speculative conclusion at this point.
