[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 970173, member: 2299"] I was mostly referring to the point about Fritz keeping the option because that's what he had the players for as if he wasn't already utilizing the option concepts at his previous stop. But I don't agree that we had an option built team at least as far as being a benefit serving as a temporary offense. We didn't have a QB who had any real experience being an option QB. Oliver had some experience, but it was mostly limited to called runs that were more akin to direct snaps to a running back than an option QB. Had Johnson not retired we would have very likely seen a simplified offense that featured mostly called runs and double options with easier reads to help out the QB while he developed. If we would need to develop a QB just to run the option anyways it wouldn't make sense to try and force that. The "best" argument for continuing to run the option as a stop gap measure is the OL being a better fit for it. But that is a moot point because even had we hired Fritz he would have likely changed up the blocking as well, like he did at GSU. We were missing the pieces needed for the offense we wanted to run, but we also didn't have the pieces to make it easy to incorporate the option game while trying to transition. We would have needed to invest too much practice time and development into running the transitional offense for it to be a benefit for that purpose. [/QUOTE]
