I was tired of gimmick false option offense. I welcomed the announcement if only because it meant less of that. I agree that it was not all Vad's fault, in fact I'd argue that Vad was slow (comparatively) on the read and to the outside. That tendency was exacerbated by poor line play.
In fact, I think CPJ's flexbone is a much more complex (in the mathematical sense) system than people are used to talking about. Like the collapsed Canadian bridge, each element that year had some not ideal but not terrible attributes that combined created a critical failure.
I suspect that had we started last year with good to very good line play, we'd be talked about as a quirky under center variation of the Oregon offense with a different pass playbook. But we didn't, and some mental stuff with Vad, much of which I think is attributable to bad influences in his personal life, led to a negative feedback loop that kept him and us from performing to potential.
CPJ showed remarkable flexibility trying to adjust, but I was happy to hear that we would not be adjusting reactivly anymore.
