It's just a hybrid and they throw it 285 yards a game. I doubt there will be much if any effect on recruiting. It's not like half the potential recruits are going to immediately mark us off the list just because the word "option" appears in the name of our offensive scheme. It will have nowhere near the effect Paul's TO had. Even that wasn't the root of our recruiting woes, anyway.
scheme means option 9/10 times on here except for the 1 time a month someone hypes up the air raid. i think people just like the word cause it sounds smart, but it’s typically followed up by “we can’t run what everyone else runs and expect to win”. which kills me because if you think bama, clemson and ohio state run the same “scheme” your opinion on football x’s and o’s is about as valuable to us as a signed waffle house cup from collins
I’m not so sure. I am not a recruiting guy, but trying to understand...
I recognize it is important and we ought to get the best we can but how realistic is it that we can consistently grab top 20 classes? I’ve seen us out preform our recruiting many times to yield top 20 performance. I’ve never seen is recruit at top 20 levels.
I wouldn't say it's a complete non-issue, but "option" is often abused as an overhyped buzz word, much like the word "transition". Much sound and fury, signifying little. Very few recruits are going to shy away from Chadwell's hybrid, and the advantage gained on the field is going to dwarf any possible downside.
Tape doesn’t lie. Just show the kids the tape and if they have eyes they can see for themselves. If they make life decisions based on false perceptions that are easily and obviously debunked on film, we don’t need that type of kid anyway.
His argument (@Ibeeballin) is based on people's PERCEPTION, not the reality. When you put yourself in a position where you are having to overcome a negative first impression (rightly or wrongly) it's like trying to get the pretty girl to go on a date with you when others have told her you're a jerk. OK, a lousy analogy, but the point is, you don't want to start off behind...
If a coach gets the right players to execute his offense effectively and wins, who cares what the idiots on Twitter or ugag fans are saying. It was ego that led us to fire Gailey when they were making fun of us that we could not beat ugag. Then, it was ego that led us to push out CPJ when they made fun of our "high school offense." Now, we are worried about how others are going to frame an highly effective offense that may stop us from hiring the potentially best hire. We need to stop letting our ego get in the way of making good decisions.
If the pretty girl is that influenced by idiots then you probably don't want to date her anyway...
Yes, you still do. Maybe not marry her but date her? Yes!!!!!!!
Slightly off topic, but if we can’t find some linebackers to replace the 2 seniors we are losing, it may not matter what offense we run. That’s the glaring hole looking at us after this season.
LOL. Yes, I almost changed it to "you probably shouldn't want to date her."
It’s not hard at all. Chadwell scheme doesn’t prepare guys for next level particularly at certain positions. Same way future engineers come to Tech to be developed so they can perform amongst the top best in their field and athletes want the same
LB is definitely a big concern going into next year, particularly with Eley and Thomas being as good as they have been. Tatum should step up and do fine, but we have almost no experience beyond that. There was mention of Franks entering the portal a while back, did that actually happen or was it just a rumor? Of course, Demetrius Knight is in the portal, though could theoretically return under the new staff. Either way I think the portal will need to bring us a LB or 2.
Thanks - I trust your assessment much more than my own. I just haven’t heard anything about the others.
