This idea that there is a coach on the planet that can teach triple option, spread option, air raid, and wishbone isn't reality.

These guys are specialists. They've spent their entire career perfecting ONE thing. Not learning the details of multiple offenses.

Has video games caused fans to not understand this?
I used to joke that if we ever hired Mike Leach our fans would want him to run the wishbone. I was wrong. They want him to run the spread option.

We have some very vocal fans that demand that MSU football run the ball. It's a little crazy. They're good at manipulating the idea that MSU simply can't and they pounce on every opportunity to point it out. The bad thing is the game is going away from running the ball and if we don't adapt we will be left behind like Georgia Tech.
