[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 896294, member: 906"] Those arguing against the flexbone mainly just hated watching that type of offense. I understand your feelings - when Bammer and OK and Nebraska, just to name a few, ran similar offenses, I hated it as well, but those weren't my teams. So, when they crushed opponents will with it, I did not enjoy that domination. BUT, I learned when the offense is MY team's offense, and especially knowing the difficulties and handicaps our STEM school faces, I loved it. It will always work if executed, assuming that we aren't playing talent and coaching that is 40% or more better than what we have. It gives us a fighting chance, even with the rule changes, in my opinion. Sometimes we won because the other teams' talented players just "gave up" against it. Sometimes we won because the other teams' coaching staff had no idea how to prepare for it (I believe this is what happened with Missy St. in the Orange Bowl, and what is funny is that CGC knew he didn't want any part of it - he headed for UF and easier pickens) But, I also believe there are other unique offenses with genius offensive gurus that would work at GT as well. But, I do believe we have to do something different scheme-wise. If it is "fun" for the kids and helps recruit some high 3 star (occasional 4 star) talent, then GREAT, but we are never going to out recruit enough teams to consistently win that way, and especially when we have a coach like we have now. GT needs the smartest guy on the field calling plays - and, again in my opinion, always will. [/QUOTE]
