[QUOTE="Josh H, post: 497615, member: 1317"] Sad to see Paul Johnson go, but I believe it was time. Worst homecoming attendance in 20 years. Almost zero support from the students. For everyone who thinks his offense is the only system that can work here (and admittedly, I *love* watching the option), in 11 years the only times we had a competent passing attack was when we had NFL caliber wide receivers. With that said, the offense does put us in a bind that wasn't an issue in 2008. We have no tight-ends, no true offensive tackles. We have a stable of backs where we need to decide if they are better off at receiver or feature back. We have two QBs with potential in the passing game, but neither have ever started a game. And we're likely going to start over with a new defensive scheme (remember, we had real talent on defense in 2008 that carried us through the first few games while Nesbitt was making something out of nothing). Recruiting could either pick up or go south, depending on how quickly we can make a hire and what that hire wants to do. What offense do we run? Power spread probably makes the most sense based on personnel. I think whatever we do, we have to maintain a dual-threat QB. Even Alabama has figured this out. We aren't apt to get too many 6'5 QBs that can stand in the pocket, so we might as well use the advantage of dual-threat QB gives you. [/QUOTE]
