Enhance Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Point to a game or season where TO fundamentally changed his pass to run ratio based on the opponent, please. Or even installed an entirely new package of plays for a specific opponent. You're moving the goal posts. I never said fundamental changes. I said tweaking. I also am not sure you're talking about "packages" in the context in which they are typically used. That can mean anything from plays designed to go to certain players, plays designed to exploit a specific weakness, plays designed to utilize a certain type of attack (i.e. slant passes), etc. Many of these are plays that you have already in the playbook, or plays you make small changes to or adjustments. Then, they can be grouped or reshuffled depending on the opponent or gameplan. Or, they can be created pre-season and then left alone until needed. We did these things from pop warner to high school. I don't see the misunderstanding. 2 Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Somebody quick, go tell those folks at hudl they are wasting their time. Coaches don't change based upon opponents so they don't need to watch film. Dumbest OP on Huskerboard to date. 4 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I know a lot of coaches try that approach (and it goes beyond "tweaks"), and a lot of them aren't very successful. A lot of coaches that do anything aren't very successful. The majority of coaches aren't very successful. Tell us about this clueless, imaginary correlation. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Not encouraging from my perspective. Wants to follow the lead of Alabama Okay, fine. But then you said.... But if the goal is to win championships, maybe you should copy the winning blueprint. I don't even know what to think here... 4 Quote Link to comment

Copying the NDSU blueprint would be, as they are the most successful program of the past decade. I thought we had established that earlier? Quote Link to comment

No. So you are seriously sticking with the whole "only specific systems work in Lincoln" theory? This is why people don't take you seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I see cm is still allowed here. What a frickin shitshow. Wouldnt be half as bad if he had any sort of clue what he was talking about. That shows how bad it really is. 8 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Enhance, have you listened to the discussion? And no, installing new packages to defeat certain opponents is fundamentally different than what TO would do or briles now. You may tweak your system for your players, but not for the opponent. Installing a specific package of plays to beat a specific opponent reminds me of what Watson did when trying to beat NU in the early 00s. Yeah, it may work for that opponent but it's not a smart approach overall, because college players don't have the time or experience to perfect the multiple packages required to attack the different teams on a schedule. CM, I've enjoyed somewhat your points of view over the last several weeks, but I gott say man...you are dead wrong on this one. I'm not even going to try to explain my perspective on why. I'll just say, I coach little league football and WE CHANGE our offense around for the opponents we face. And our defense too. And sometimes we change it DURING the games. Adjustments to exploit weaknesses or counter adjustments to their adjustments. I have a quick question tho (and I am serious when I ask, not being condescending): have you ever sat in on a film breakdown of an opponent on a Sunday or Monday during game week at the college level?

cm husker Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, I have. But that's a lot different than what we are discussing right now. 1 Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Ultimately, I'll guess we'll see how it plays out. I'll just say, there are a lot of average ways to approach a challenge. My opinion is that NU can't go along with the average if we hope to achieve above average success. Changing things up and having no real identity other than an "all you can eat buffet" doesn't strike me as a winning formula. But again, we'll see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, I have. But that's a lot different than what we are discussing right now. What was your team's W-L record throughout your college career with your mythical coaches that didn't make adjustments or tweaks depending on who you were playing? 1 Quote Link to comment
