[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 874570, member: 5973"] for one i think everybody is showing their lack of understanding of the situation the second they paint everything as either option or pro style when there’s a lot in between. what they did at oregon with chip kelly vs baylor vs stanford vs iowa is all very different things. ideally we evaluate what you have on the roster then design the offense on those strengths. the transition should have been more gradual in hindsight but again, i think we had to look committed and show we were running an offense that wasn’t the option for proof of concept for recruits, and it did end up helping us in that regard. another thing is we have to get good athletes in. as much as people want to live in this fantasy land where recruiting doesn’t matter it’s absolutely a core tenant of football at this point. you also have to develop that talent and use it well, but the hit rate on 4* recruits is so much higher than 3*. that being said, uga, clemson and bama have found lower rated recruits and turned them into stars. something we have been kinda bad at for the last decade regardless of staff. yes, if we run the same thing as everyone else talent will win, but right now talent and athleticism are king anyway. there’s no “equalizer” against teams like uga, clemson, etc anymore. the option is not something that will make us competitive with teams that big and physical. it’s also such a hindrance on the defensive side of recruiting (that and paul’s lack of effort on that front so maybe a different coach would be different results) ultimately the key thing teams that see success in lesser situations do is create an identity that focuses on a strength while maintaining some sort of balance on offense. you cannot be successful consistently only running the ball or only throwing the ball. if that means turning your team into a track team with spread hurry up (baylor, ucf, oregon, etc) or bulking up the line, TEs and full backs like stanford and iowa, you can lean into that strength and build around it. that is also where you get to recruit a little more based on system and with that you aren’t pigeon holing yourself into mediocre talent on both sides of the ball. chip long actually seems to have much more of a plan and desire to establish an identity (hurry up 12 personnel, RPO with emphasis on zone blocking) so that is a step in the right direction you also have to develop players and have a good s&c program. i think coach lew is pretty good at the s&c part but i think our player development on both offense and defense is poor. we have replaced a lot of those staff members so maybe that will change but still up in the air [/QUOTE]
