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?
It blows my mind on a daily basis how clueless some people are to how everything actually works. I don't know jack sh** about running a major SEC program, but I do know that it's pretty stupid to expect a coach to just blend his scheme with another.

We didn't hire Leach to run the spread option or anything other than his air raid. We hired him to run the offense he is running and there were always going to be speed bumps on the way to making it click.

We are 4 games into a weird shortened season and some fans are already wanting him gone. Pure ignorance. It takes time to implement an offense and if we did try to run some mutt of an offense it would just take that much more time to get his system installed properly.
