T.O. Loves Uban Meyer's Offense

A lot would depend on who he could get as a DC. It would have to be someone who is strong on experience and a proponent of stout defence with a lot of speed. Only problem being if you get someone like this you lose them after a coupl,e of years.

i don't see why we continue to worry about losing a guy we haven't even brought in. i will take a winner and a program builder who wants to move on in 4-5 years over an average geke we can hang on to for 10.

This is the whole issue...I don't really care if TO hires and offensive guy. However that bodes the question of the quality coach that will be hired as a DC. Look at the 2 of the prev 3 DC's at NU, Bohl and Coz. The offenses are pretty good but bad Defenses. I'd rather have a great Defensive HC and bring in a pretty good OC. You need to have a good D to win championship's. Your offense doesn't have to be near as good. :)

I wouldn't go that far. How many teams were running out to recruit the best option QB's when we were dominating everyone in the mid-90's?

I think the reason the spread is so popular is the fact that some teams can't get the best talent every year. Look at West Virginia. I think they've only had 1 or 2 top 25 recruiting classes in the last 5 years. If you can't get the best, run the best offense that neutralizes the best defenses. Plus, the NFL is changing to a more mobile type QB that is adequate to good at running the ball and good to great at throwing the ball.

Those QBs aren't productive in the NFL. You have to get the ball to wide receivers in the NFL to win. For every mediocre Vince Young or Michael Vick there are a hundred Tovaris Jacksons.

Who cares if the QB running it get's to the NFL? It only needs to be good enough to help win Championships at the college level. :) Look at Ganz, good college QB, doubtful if he even gets a sniff from pro scouts to be a QB let alone any other position. :( Sucks for him, but great for us.

 
All I was saying is that not everyone tries to mimick a winner. No big time programs that I can think of were changing their offense to the option back in the mid-90's when we were dominating with it. Also, a spread option QB today has a better chance of landing in the NFL than a power option QB does.
