Again. They have a freaking tebow clone running it
Yes the HUNH works great with a cam against elite D's. not so much with a white dude who can't run

I lean towards Gus over Kirby Smart b/c of his head coaching experience and b/c Smart works on the same side of the ball as Saban. How do we know he isn't just doing what Saban tells hime instead of running it on his own?
I'd obviously prefer any of the "home run" names, and I'd probably prefer Charlie Strong or Larry Fedora. But Gus or Kirby would both be better than Chad freaking Morris.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I would much rather have Gus than Smart. Gus has proven at 4 diffent locations that he is one of the top 5 offensive minds in college football.
I know that the mindset that Gus can only be succesful with a great qb is pretty common but I simply disagree with that opinion. If all it takes to win a NC is a superstar at qb then where is Stanford's NC since they had a superstar qb in Luck, a great HC in Harbough and a much easier path playing in the PAC-12. Art Briles is considered an offensive genius but he couldn't win one with RG3. Gus did have a great qb in 2010 but unlike those 2 other coaches that most of you would nut over if they came to Auburn he actually did something with his.
I'm with you on this. Gus will be a great HC, its just a gut feeling I have...call me crazy. But he's his own man and marches to his own beat. I see him running the program his way and not being a yes man. He has the most unique offense in college football and I see us being a great team again in a very short time with him.
Only thing I would want him to do is bring in a DC that is either gonna run a attacking 4-3 or just switch to the 3-4...

The HUNH spread is being slowed down by elite defenses.. you're starting to see it more and more all over college football. Oregon this year is a prime example. They run into a solid Stanford D and they lose.
Other than the HUNH and spread formation Oregon's offense isn't anything like Gus's. Gus runs a smashmouth/playaction offense just like what LSU, Bama, UGA and UF run but he does it from different formations and at a much faster pace.

So would you compare it to A&M's? The HUNH is the problem.. not the style.

Exactly...Ben Tate, Michael Dyer, and Cam Newton aren't scat backs. We were coming downhill with those guys, who each had at least 1200 yds in a season a piece...it may look different, but its the same.

A&M runs the same offense that Tony Franklin ran at Auburn only with a much better qb and coaches that have a clue of how to teach it. If I had to compare his offense to someone it is imo closest to what Rich Rod runs but even then there are differences.

Gus scores a lot of points running the same offense that the other elite teams in the conference run only at a faster pace and from different formations.

I don't like the HUNH because I think the deck is stacked against it by the very nature of the game. As my dad pointed out to a bunch of Oregon fans in 2010, it is difficult to out pace a team with the HUNH in the modern game, and it gets harder the bigger the game. Why? Because of TV commercials. Offenses don't lack a rhythm in the big bowls because of the break. They lack rhythm because the TV broadcast has to cram in as many commercials as possible. The bigger the game, the more commercials and the more frequent the breaks. HUNH relies on tempo to wear a defense down, but the bigger the game the harder this becomes to do courtesy of TV breaks.
Bottom line, I do not want the HUNH. I would take Smart over Gus just for that reason, throw in the culture change issues and Smart is a no brainer over Gus.
