[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 184872, member: 1069"] Georgia Southern, under CPJ. Last year was Southern's first season in the FBS and they went 9-3. They're 4-1 so far this year. If you're going to tell me that Southern doesn't count, for whatever reason, then there is no answer I can give you that you would accept. What you are looking for is for someone to say FBS name brand team X has won 10 or more games a year over the last so many years in recent history while running the triple option. You and I both know that only a few college teams today base out of the triple option and that none of them have had that kind of success. To find a team with that kind of success running the triple option, we'd have to go a a least a little ways back into history. I'm not sure if Lou Holz ran the triple option at Notre Dame or not as I find conflicting stories on that and that was before I paid attention to college football. Supposedly Nebraska under Osborne was double option, not triple option, despite the run heavy nature of the offense (this also was before I paid attention to college football). If you don't like the triple option, or are just tired of it, and would rather GT have difference offense, that is fine. Just start a new thread titled 'Post-CPJ Offense' and state your preferred offense and why you think it would be a good one to have. It'd be helpful for the ensuing discussion if you could also name some coaches that you think would be willing to come to GT and run your preferred brand of offense. I think you'll get a much more satisfying discussion if you do that rather than whining and complaining about CPJ and the offense. Hopefully, no one would object to discussing a post-CPJ future at this point since the CPJ present is a bit grim. [/QUOTE]
