This is an Excellent read for anyone in the coaching business!! I definitely feel that too much time was spent on scheme and not enough time on fundamental football this season. It certainly explains the penalties, missteps and lack of fluidity.

You can’t teach the tricks of the trade without teaching the trade.
 
Anyone read the articles about how Chev plans to run the offense? More up tempo and a smaller playbook. More of a return to the first half of 2016 and that wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.

Right out of the Mike Leach dogma. I'm fine with it. Anything can work if you apply it right. Hope it's more Auburn style than Tech style when it comes to the running game.

Yup. I'm tempted to do a deep dive on where Adams gets his philosophies from since he's such an unknown, but I'm afraid it will be worthless since he's been with HCMM his entire career. Let's hope Adams is interviewed by Adam soon.

Leach was 84-43 at TT, and is 26-12 in his last 3 years at WSU after taking 3 years to pull them out of the hole they were in.

I don't care how we get there at this point, and I would absolutely take that over what we have seen for the last 15 years.

Adams is definitely a run first guy, he might as well be called the run game coordinator instead of CO-OC.

Thanks. Great article. An interesting statistic was that NFL teams that gain at least 4 yards on first down convert that series 73% of the time. Especially interesting is that it occurs in a league whose main competitive feature is parity. So I'd think it would be even more pronounced in the college game.

I think it only works with Leach. The derivatives tend to be much less successful.

There's a reason none of his successors that have gone on to any great success stuck that heavily with the passing game, and why even Leach has started running the ball more.
 
Are we maybe overrating his likelihood to run a Tech type system? He was only at Tech for two years, only one of which was he even a coach on offense.

I'm sure he has some concepts from it, but I doubt Mac suddenly signed off on being Texas Tech on offense.

My fear is that we'll look no different than Lindgren's offense, honestly.

That seems extremely likely. Mac gave Lindgren the playbook, not the other way around. Can't imagine Mac is suddenly going to give Chev full control.

"We'll definitely play with more up tempo and definitely be more aggressive in how we attack defenses." Music to my ears. I always wondered how close the BL and DC thoughts were on how to run an offense.
 
Chev mentioned that the offense would look the same as far as formation/scheme. He wants to run a faster tempo, which is fine and he is right that it did work the first part of 2016. I'm really worried we have to rely heavily on the pass game because we have no other choice. Running back talent is unknown for the most part, except for two who are really not an every down type backs.
 
Completely on board with this. In my incredibly humble opinion (feel free to call me out on this), if you look at a lot of the recent offenses that put up a ton of points, a lot of them are built upon very simple playbooks where there are multiple option plays that look very similar from a formation and setup standpoint. Kelly's offense at Oregon was like that, Georgia Tech is like that, Leach's offense is like that, etc. I believe that a lot of Lindgren's problem is he has this need to prove that he's the smartest guy in the room through the depth of his playbook, his playcalls, etc. It was too complex for deployment in the college game.

Also, I would really like to see more passing routes that are releases towards the seams/post. it seems like all the deep passing game this year was based upon outside "go" routes along the sidelines.

I doubt we see more than tweaks. MikMac has looked like the kind of HC who exercises total controlo ver the program. I would not say he is a micro-manager, but probably close. I don't think he will allow much in the way of substantial change. His pressers seem to indicate there is nothing wrong but a failure to execute. Classic NFL mentality.

I like the idea of handing OCs the playbook as the plays and language stay the same...good for the players. How those plays are called is where the OC can make his mark. I think MM is a control freak...hope he can give Chev broad parameters and let him get creative as I think Chev will do better job calling. What was the best we finished in offense in BL’s 5 years? I think we were in the 50s last year nationally.
 
I don't get the faster tempo. Doesn't that do our defense a disservice? Putting them back on the field more often and at a quicker pace regardless if we score will only wear them out. Our defense was especially awful as games wore on especially against teams with any RB that had two relatively serviceable legs.

If you're 3 and out, yes. The point many of these teams that do it well have made, is it's hard to defend and first downs rest your D.
 
At altitude, I think pace can be especially effective in reducing a defense’s athletic prowess or quality decision making. Pace is ineffective if you run plays straight into mass bodies of defenders and/or plays where a defender is intentionally or unintentionally well positioned.

This is my fear. Les Miles at LSU Part Deux; 4 different O-Coordinators over 7 years, same four running plays and one 45 yard pass on a fly route. Complete intransigence.
