[QUOTE="Jim Prather, post: 660591, member: 431"] So you have put together a reasoned argument, but let me propose some alternate hypotheses and counter arguments: 1. Had we remained with the spread option (which I agree T Stansbury was getting too much political pressure against to keep) : Ken N will never leave Navy -- not a viable candidate Jeff Monken -- Even the Army boosters expected him to take the GT job once is came open.. I think you dismissed this choice too quickly. Brian Bohannon - Not including this season, he has 5 years as a head coach and 20 years as an assistant coach. I'm not convinced that you can dismiss him as too raw when our current head coach only has 2 years as a head coach and also has 20 years as an assistant coach. 2. Had we gone with a shotgun based option offense: (this would have been my choice) Willie Fritz - you also consider him too raw, but he has 23 years as a head coach and has already presided over a transition away from a spread option offense. If instead you want to go young, go look at someone who runs Urban Meyer's offense - which is a spread option offense out of the shogun. 3. Standard NCAA offense -- No matter who you chose, you are looking at multi-year roster re-build. At this point you have concluded "That leaves transforming the offense as the only real option". Here I disagree in scope. Had we gone with a shotgun based option offense as opposed to our current strategy, which as best as I can tell is "blow it all up and start over", we would have had some drop off (which is natural in any coaching transition) but would have also been competitive while the roster was transitioned to a more traditional profile. Even if that coach did not work out, we would have had 3-4 competitive years (which, given the choices that have been made, we are already conceding we are not going have ), and could have then transitioned to a traditional NCAA offense without the pain of a lost 1/3 to 1/2 decade.
