[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 970137, member: 2299"] Fritz was already running an option offense prior to coming to Southern. It was a bit different than Southern's but it was still option based and one of the reasons that he was chosen was the belief that the talent that Southern had at the time fit well with what he was already doing. Even then he came in and changed a good number of things including going from the gun and moving from mostly man blocking to mostly zone blocking. Sure the play calling was dictated by the talent running it 80% of the time, but even at SHS he was running 66% of the time. The adjustment was less adjusting the offense as a whole, and more adjusting the play calling within the offense. Same thing can be said for when Johnson came here. He put in his system and adjusted the play calls for what he had. And with Collins we saw something similar. We did adjust the play calling to what we had running it 10% more than Collins did his last year at Temple, and our QBs combined for 187 carries compared to the 73 carries QB had at Temple in 2018. I have never understood the idea that it was a good decision to try and have a coach with no experience in an offense try to run it on a temporary basis while he recruited for a completely different one. You could argue we should have hired a different coach who had a more similar offense but that was an administrative decision and probably one that was influenced by big money donors who wanted a complete detachment from the TO.
