[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 630971, member: 1792"] Collins wants to transition to a spread offense in which the shotgun (or pistol) is used -- no more QB under center except, perhaps, under exceptionally rare conditions. OK, moving to a "gun-triple" would've accomplished that fairly big step immediately, it's hardly "putting back in the offense we just decided to transition away from." However, since most of the current players have been immersed in an option scheme the past few years, great, you wouldn't have to build an offense 100% from scratch. It hardly seems all that radical to have about four series/packages of plays modified from a system with which the players have some familiarity, while also having another four to six series/packages of plays from the new standard/generic contemporary "system" the staff wants to implement. And God forbid that the new staff might've found out that having some variations of older option packages could be nice to have -- not unlike Ralph Friedgen using it as a change-up within his multiplicity of approaches to move the ball back in the day. It's moot now, anyway. Now we can just cross our fingers and hope that, eventually, Tech's offense will be generally successful despite running pretty much the same generic offense most everyone else uses, probably with nominally better (10 places higher) recruiting classes than those of the past decade. [For the record, I detested Paul Johnson's not have a shotgun series to use on third- and fourth-and-forever downs, as well as his dogged refusal to revisit the passing side of the "run-and-shoot" offense from which his double-slot option spread was born. In fact, earlier this year Navy brought in a guy from Hawaii to incorporate more run-and-shoot concepts into their offense.
