[QUOTE="Techster, post: 412391, member: 360"] You should listen to Mike Leach talk about passing versus running. He makes some very good points...the same points as CPJ does about running. In the end, it all comes down to what each team does best. You look at all the Air Raid offenses, or spread option teams. GT will undoubtedly have more success running the ball, and running option plays than say Mike Leach at WSU. We run more running and option plays, and we practice them more than WSU does. On the other hand, Mike Leach will have more success passing the ball than we will because that's his expertise and his teams practice passing the ball more. There is no magic to this, and it's not complicated. As a coach, if your strengths are the option game and running the ball, it's probably best if you stick to it. If it's passing the ball, stick to passing. When our fans say "CPJ's offense gives GT the best chance" it's true and it's false. If CPJ is our coach, of course it gives GT the best chance. If Mike Leach was here, the option probably doesn't give us the best chance because he's not as well versed in it as CPJ. But GT probably has the best chance passing the ball in the Air Raid if Mike Leach were the coach. BTW...CPJ and Mike Leach are basically the same coach, and their offensive philosophies about moving the ball are pretty much the same even though their offenses seem like polar opposite sides of the offensive spectrum. Both developed and utilize their respective offenses because it helped them with talent disparities. If you research the "gurus" of each offensive style, it's pretty much the same thing with them also. Afterall, the basics tenets of football never changes. [/QUOTE]
