[QUOTE="Techster, post: 822481, member: 360"] I keep seeing that a LOT. For some reason there's a misnomer that if the creator of an offense can't make it work, one of his disciples won't make it work either. The thing is, football evolves. There's more to football than just the offense, and running it one way. Monken, Coach Ken, and Bohannon are on record saying they have modified their offense for their situation. Bohannon, though on a lower level, is doing really well. Coach Ken was doing extremely well but seems to have hit a down patch. Monken is probably the best overall coach from the CPJ tree...and I think he has surpassed CPJ in overall coaching. IMO, from a pure coaching standpoint, Monken is probably a top 5 coach in college football today. The fact that no P5 school will hire him tells you the aversion from ADs and big money alumni (who have a bigger hand in coaching decisions than most fans think) have to "the triple option offense". Wherever Monken goes, I think his floor is 7-8 wins, and his ceiling is a conference championship and possible playoff appearance. If you look at the Air Raid guys, Lincoln Riley has surpassed Leach. Art Briles, until he got fired in shame from Baylor, surpassed Mike Leach...Briles really took Leach's concepts to another level by adding a legitimate run game (probably the closest thing to a Flex/Air Raid combo we've seen). You see it with coaches from other coaching trees. They evolve from what they learned from "the master" and they tailor it to their situation. Some take off, others not so much. It's just a mistake to say "If the Grand Master can't do it, why do you think his student will do better?" Each "student" is different. Just remember guys like Einstein, Elon Musk, Hawking, Galileo, etc. were all someone's student to start. Also, I'd like to add. I get why Monken was a no go at GT. However, I think he would have won BIG here. I do think Monken would NOT have come to GT though given what happened with CPJ (lots to that story) and the aversion to the "triple option" once CPJ decided to step away from coaching. [/QUOTE]
