What team in the ACC would you say runs something similar to this, if any?
Duke and UVA run a very similar offense.
Nothing original, but lots of spread sets with option and RPO mixed in.

I haven’t watched yet, but from what he described I was thinking Pitt, in regards to multiple formations, downhill running, pulling OL,and timing routes. Maybe a little Clemson.
I'm confused?? My question is,,,, we've moved from the 3O,,, some of us don't like pro style,, some don't like RPO,,,
Is coach P going to have to invent a new unknown offense to be successful & make people happy? A serious question! What needs to be done?
It was a crummy Oline that kept collapsing on Ryan and which couldn't open holes for the run game.I didn't watch the game but it could tell us a lot. If the schemes and play calling/coaching were insufficient that tells us something if the players themselves performed poorly then maybe not.
Was it Ridley, Ryan and Juilo Jones or was the Falcons OC
A frequently overlooked factoid, football games are often won in the trenches. We were good on one side, not at all on the other. It literally wrote the book on CPJ’s tenure.It was a crummy Oline that kept collapsing on Ryan and which couldn't open holes for the run game.

Scheme isn’t everything but let’s not kid ourselves that it can’t help be an equalizer to an extent.People are way too obsessed with scheme. It is about perfecting whatever you choose to do and executing it at a high level, and having talented players. There is no magical scheme anymore if there ever was. .not even the 3O. It is hard for some Tech fans to let go of this obsession, because our identity has been tied to a very specific offensive philosophy for so long.
Alabama has 29 assistants not on the direct coaching staff. Clemson’s not much different. If we want to climb from 50th in the rankings to Top 25, well we’ve got a lot of work to do to close that gap. Top schools have been adding layers & layers of support staff in the last decade. GT did nothing & watched them all build dynasties. We all want to complain about it now, but if the new OC & DC are not armed with the same level of resources we’re going to keep staring at the lead dog’s butts wondering why this new shiny change that’s got some all excited didn’t pan out the way we all want.
Not saying the staff cannot make improvements without resources, I just don’t think many on here understand how far and how fast we’re falling behind the pack in the arms race. Not just with the elite teams, but what some believe to be teams we should beat easily every year. I think GT has 6 assistants outside of the 14 everyone officially designates. Pitt for example has 23. Bigger isn’t always better but we should be at least able to see the competition.Absolutely. We've fallen behind in spending and staffing. I think Stansbury knows this and will listen when Collins asks for more... but the staff has to do their part and show we can win big games. I'm excited... but cautiously so. We cannot keep up with teams that are putting 50 man staff's together. I hope that we can bridge the gap at least a little bit.

There is nothing original in football. Everything new toy is an old one repurposed or run from a new formation.Duke and UVA run a very similar offense.

I think CGC has known what we will be running all along. However, he simply refers to it as NFL style.
This is like when a realtor shows you a “Victorian” or a “Craftsman” house. It is absolutely never ever ever ever accurate but who gives a %#^$ because it sells the house. That house may have one detail that resembles a certain style but you only harp on what the client wants to hear.
Kids want to hear NFL style. And honestly, who’s to say which offenseive style is which. Urban Meyer used to ask CPJ about his offense but he didn’t want to be labeled a true option coach due to the stigma. So he always sprinkled in other wrinkles to get the best of both worlds.
I for one am content to let CGC continue to vaguely define the offense as NFL style and then run whatever the hell works.

Yep! Clemson could run a 2-2-2-2-3 and do pretty good.So have some of the worst. A lot depends on who those 7 guys are.
I agree with this, I thought you were saying scheme doesn’t matter at all.To some extent, yes, but its no surprise that in our best years with it, we had our most talented teams with the most drafted players. Even CPJ has said scheme gets too much attention.
