[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 911802, member: 2332"] Chadwell's offense is a lot like what I wished CPJ would've tried here at times. I could go back 7 years and find posts talking about it. CPJ had his (valid) reasons for sticking with the flexbone - speed of the mesh, balanced formation, 'girl you came with'. But I always wondered if 2013 had gone a little differently if he would've kept some of the 'wrinkles' he tried that season. It felt like the biggest knock in recruiting was that the flexbone was so unique in P5, and so different from anything the NFL did, that it just didn't translate. But that was never a knock against Urban or Malzahn who were running a lot of option concepts at the same time - 2 back sets out of the gun, RPOs, QB runs. Their QBs won Heismans and got drafted. CPJ tried some of that in 2013. He actually had a lot of success with some of that in '08 and (less so) '09 before the flexbone was fully installed IIRC. CPJ was great at reading defenses and calling plays. He believed the flexbone was the best formation for what he wanted to do on the field. Some years, it looked unbeatable. I love watching that offense. But I also do believe it held the program back in some ways. What Chadwell does seems like a happy medium. Option offense, but out of a lot of formations with a heavier emphasis on passing options. Things that a lot of NFL teams and 'big' programs are doing with dual threat QBs. Easier for recruits to see a pathway to the NFL in his offense than the flexbone. It also is a lot of fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
