[QUOTE="Techster, post: 378801, member: 360"] In all honesty, you know why coaches don't do certain things and rely on what they've done? Because it's what they know, and what they're comfortable with. Is Jim Harbaugh or David Cutcliffe going to run our Flex Option? Maybe a play or two for some "surprise" effect to catch the defenses off kilter, but they are not going to feature it because quite frankly they don't know the intricacies of running our offense which requires know how to look at the defense to adjust blocking. CPJ will school them all day on that...just as they would most likely school CPJ on their offenses. CPJ is the foremost expert on this offense, and he operates it on a PHD level. But that expertise drops significantly down if he has to run another offense. He could probably do it, but then see 2013. I've long given up on CPJ trying to "adjust" his offense. I held out hope for a while, but I've realized CPJ is who he is. In all honesty, after seeing what happened in 2013, is it really in GT's best interest for him to try something new now? The only way I'd have confidence in CPJ trying something else now is if he brought in someone from the outside....like what Gus Malzahn did this year with Chip Lindsey, and what Lane Kiffen did with Kendall Briles. Jimbo Fisher, he of the "pro style" offense even hired Darryl Dickey the offensive coordinator at Memphis to modernize his attack at Texas AM. I don't think he'll ever do that, so until CPJ leaves, I wouldn't expect anything other than what we have. The Flex option has taken us to 3 ACCCG, 2 OB's, and an ACC Title. Like it or not, that's the horse we're going to ride until CPJ rides off into the sunset with it. [/QUOTE]
