[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 916218, member: 2299"] Just labeling it "triple option" wasn't what hurt Johnson the most. What hurt Johnson were some specific aspects that were easy to point to. The first is lack of throwing success. Coastal doesn't have the same issue. If we normalize for 13 games (meaning 12 + bowl) McCall was on pace for 3k his r. fr year and ~3.4k last year and similar this year. That's not tremendous, but it's good enough to make it not nearly as easy to negative recruit along that line. For Johnson the highest we got was 1719 with Thomas in 14 games. This affected basically the entire offensive side recruiting because it was easy to point to that and use it against QBs, WRs, or OL who wanted to pass block. The second is the blocking scheme which basically isn't an issue because of rule changes. The third thing that would affect both WR and Abacks is relative lack of opportunities, although for different reasons. WR's just didn't get many catches. Thomas did, but after that our WRs were looking at catches in the 20s on the high end. Abacks were always hurt by the way we rotated and never really featured an A back. With coastal that's not really an issue. The past two years their top guy had 60+ catches and the secondary option was getting about what our first options were getting. This year they have 3 with 27+ receptions already in 10 games. The last thing is that Johnson just wasn't a good recruiter in his own right. It wasn't the only thing, but it was an issue. Don't know enough about Chadwell to say, but I doubt he would be as bad. [/QUOTE]
