I do believe the offensive coaches had a meeting about changing things up. David Murray said so on Wimberly's show. I have no reason to not believe that.

Now, what was said in that meeting might be where some of this is coming from.
The telephone game skews so much info and as sufferers of MSU induced PTSD, it always gets spun to the worst possible outcome.

I have a feeling that Joe tasked the offensive staff to look at the film and figure out what needed to be done moving forward. That staff came to the conclusion that our passing game wasn't adjusting fast enough to the new system to be successful at a high level and that the best option was to focus the offense on the power run game. I bet Joe's "resistance" was "let me sleep on it and we will talk tomorrow." Joe sleeps on it, and when they get together the next day, they go over the options again and make sure it is what they think is best.

Nothing about Moorhead from day 1 says he is some stubborn ass who thinks he invented football. We know what that looks like, we lived with it for 9 years. Joe is cerebral. He is measured. He thinks. He wants to have the back of his guys, and before he does something like shift the entire focus of the offense he is going to look at all angles because he doesn't want to impact the confidence of the players. I wouldn't doubt if he went to team leaders on offense and talked about it before fully deciding.

That is a helluva lot more consistent with the Joe we have seen in interviews and heard about from other coaches and writers.
