[QUOTE="year_of_the_swarm, post: 618350, member: 3149"] I think it was discussed plenty in the offseason and during the coach search of what the risk was... It is a tough transition. The example that was used by me quite a bit was Nebraska. When they fired Frank Solich they went dark for a very long time. Solich was 58-19 at the time they fired him because he ran the option.. They've been totally irrelevant ever since. It's not an easy transition to change your culture, your scheme, etc. There are so many established offenses out there and coaches who can run it, so it is likely easier in 2019 than it was back when Nebraska fired Solich, but you still run the risk.. You fire a hall of famer caliber coach and bring in someone relatively unproven, and you are running a risk. There is no way around it. No, Tech didn't fire Paul Johnson but it was likely headed in that direction because of the option. I am not saying Tech is guaranteed to go dark for a few decades like Nebraska.. I am just saying it is a risk that doesn't always pan out when you try to be the flavor of the month and get away from something that worked for you. [/QUOTE]
