ColoradoHusk Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I am not going to argue if one offense is better than the other, especially for Nebraska. I do believe that the offense and defense and special teams must work together under one comprehensive plan for a program. I just want to see wins. 1 5 Link to comment

A ball control offense grinding down opponents isn't necessary going to score more points than a quick strike offense. But what's the impact on the team's defense when it's on the field all day? I was not expecting for someone to use the "scoring more doesn't tell you anything about winning" defense but here we are. 1 1 1 Link to comment

PasstheDamnBallGuy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Isn't there some law about having to publicly post to position before someone can get hired? Did they already do that a while ago or are they gonna to have to do it right before they announce? Link to comment

No one does this, there is a reason it's that way. You think you're smarter than all the coaches in FBS besides the ones that have no other option like the service academies? We don't run our QBs much at all, and all 3 are hurt to varying degrees. That doesn't seem smart. Osborne was one of the last P5 coaches to run his QBs like he did. Was he not smart? 2 Link to comment

Jeremy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 1 hour ago, PasstheDamnBallGuy said: We have been running option football most years. In fact most teams do some form of option now and I havent seen a single person say they was a completely non option offense. I think most people want a balanced offense. We have seen offenses that relied mostly on run. Inevitably that gets shut down because there will always be some teams that will force you to try and beat them in the air and it gets really ugly. Everyone is pushing back on the idea that we go even further into a rushing shell and limit the areas where we can beat defenses. Its def ok to be a run heavy offense but you cant be just that in p5 and expect to compete at the highest levels. Read option and Flexbone option are only the same insofar as they have a mesh point. Past that, the blocking schemes and overall philosophies are far different. We have tried to pass and be 'balanced' for 19 years. It obviously doesn't work. 2 Link to comment

Our qb issues are due to a poor oline. Link to comment

Not only that, look at the decline in Solich years and increase during the Callahan years 1 Link to comment
runningblind Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 @Mavric Take this to a tangent thread please. Arguing past offensive results has nothing to do with the 22 HC search. Signed, Literally everyone but you 5 3 2 Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 There are plenty of teams who have a mobile or semi mobile quarterback and they do just fine. You can have a mix, it doesnt need to be on guy slinging it all over the field. Hell it doesnt even need to be a deep ball, run a 5 or 10 yard route would be good. But thats for another thread. I think if it was Urban they would of said something this weekend. No reason to carry it out any further. No its a coach who is currently coaching. 1 Link to comment

He also started going downhill as soon as McBride retired because offense and defense are related. 2 Link to comment
