They are running option out of the gun. Both read and speed. And, they're going to have to learn 2 blocking schemes, yeah. Zone (which they already know) and man (which they're learning now). Eventually they're going to be primarily a man blocking scheme, but this is the transition year, so my...

TBH, I agree with a lot of this, conceptually. The thing is, we actually DON'T have any option techniques, OL wise. Playside it's always going to be Down/Over/Back (except for the Wham and the Belly G, which won't be installed until later in the year as special variety plays). On...

LOL, depends on how it goes. Frankly I'm pretty worried. We're 2 weeks from kickoff, they don't have ANY live scrimmages, and he's only really got power, counter, Dive, and Lead installed (plus all the gun stuff that they know from last year). The QB has never taken a snap from center in H.S...

LOL, he could, but to teach it right you have to teach it right, and it has to kind of be "what you do". He doesn't want the veer to be the base play in his offense. He wants power and counter to be the running base, and just enough option to keep the defense honest. There's also the deal that...

If this is the wrong forum, or if you just DGAF, that's fine, please feel free to delete. ANYHOW, my brother was recently promoted to head coach at his high school on the west coast. Although I live in DC, he has asked me to plan the running game portion of his offense, soup to nuts. Concept...

You sure can! The Patriot center (I refuse to call it eagle Bank arena) is a genuinely awesome venue to watch college basketball. Good beer, good food, a mediocre basketball team, and genuinely the best pep band in the country. Do yourself a favor and look up doc nix and the green machine...

He's a "pay lip service to athletics, and not be actively against it, but really just he has other priorities" type of guy, in our experience. I wouldn't expect him to get in the way, but I also wouldn't expect him to go out of his way to improve things.

FYI, George Mason is actually my primary team. I go to several Mason games a year, and post frequently on the GMU boards, such as they are. Cabrera's good at what he does, he has a very international bent, which will suit GT well. He's also very into non-traditional learning, which will be an...

Exactly nothing should be read into this year's results, if they are negative. CPJ was an X's and O's whiz, who succeeded by getting more out of less. You could judge his early results more, because his road to success didn't involve great recruiting, it involved a great scheme. CGC is not the...

Well played, gentlemen. Well played, indeed.

On a separate, and ENTIRELY unrelated note, Berhalter is the first full time head coach since the last US hire, a guy named Georgen Klinsmann (spelling may be off, not a native German speaker). Klinsmann was a VERY flashy hire. He came in talking a big game, talking about how the US was going...

Hey all, just stopping in to let you guys know why I think your fanbase should pay attention to and enjoy the United States Mens National Soccer Team, and their new coach, Gregg Berhalter. For short, I'll call them Gregg's Team (GT). So GT has a new coach, and for some reason I cannot put my...

Devastating. Donated, but really they're not asking for enough money.

So, this will be DOUBLE fun, as an experiment. 1) Were Georgia Tech's recruiting limitations largely due to Paul Johnson, or largely due to structural issues. If, in 4 years, you are a) consistently recruiting at a high level, and b) retaining guys through their entire careers, then the...

I have long maintained that the reason you guys didn't compete for 4 and 5 star recruits under CPJ had more to do with GT than it did CPJ. I maintained that your academic situation made long term high level recruiting untenable, and that doing things the same way as UGA was unlikely to lead to...

No, it is a relic of the past

Have fun, guys :)

I'm open to responses either way. I appreciate yours!

That's another thing to bear in mind: Football is going away sooner than later.
