There are a few that actually run something modern, but this may be the only state where you still see wing T based systems at the high school level.
Frisco, TX won the 2022 state championship in 5A running the Wing T. It's run all over the country, but that contradicts your talking points.

If we were playing FCS and MAC teams all the time, it would be an average offense for those levels. The problem is the play caller is just so bad at actually sequencing his plays that he renders the offense ineffective.

So far- this team scores 30 PPG
Thats just straight facts and not some made up FPI bullshit.
Straight facts and all - make sure you?re taking out ST score for this year - which you didn?t

I heard that too.
In your opinion, who would have been a HC candidate off the offensive side? I was ok with Arnett if he made minimum changes only, and tried to slowly acclimate to being the HC. Now in hindsight I wonder who else would have been an option.

No one, yet. Drew will be there soon, but not yet.

Zach was by far the closest to HC on the previous staff. No one on the offensive side. Drew, we will see in 5 years how he does. He's bright.

We are transitioning on offense this year also. Leach was in Y3

I say he was basically year 2, with the lack of a spring in Covid year, and short season. He had 2 recruiting cycles for talent at a school that had never been known for prolific passing. He was signing and recruiting more mobile QBs.
Our staff made the decision to transition yet again in an offense, when so much of the offense was returning.
I would think if we were running the previous system, with some running added, that we are producing more with the known offense.
edit: we could have been using those TE scholarships for defensive help instead.

No it isn't. I gave you the link that took out the FCS team we played in 2022 and 2023. In FBS, we are less than last year

29.6 last year in FBS play with a tougher schedule and 26.6 this season. I get that you NEED to add in the FCS to prop up this staff.

Yes it is and I even showed you the numbers when you only look at offensive scoring. 26.75 last year 26.6 this year. Almost identical.

I posted on this when somebody stated that Leach was taking defensive scholarships to load up on WRs. It was totally false! Leach had less WRs vs the WR /TE room the year before.
You want to know why the defense is bad, because our new HC started signing less DLs

No it isn't. You only get there by picking and choosing what to count.
