Who cares about the NFL? The NFL does not care about NCAA football.

they have a huge vested interest as that is where their players are coming from. It may be true that they dont care who wins and runs a certain offense, but they are constantly sending scouts to games. Are they sending scouts to games because they dont care about anything related to college football?

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that many major universities use getting players prepared for the NFL as a recruiting tool. You can't bitch about organization while completely ignoring what the other one is doing. Many colleges use the NFL as well as the other way around.

Secondly, you are forgetting that the coaching world is small. Many college & NFL coaches are friends who share information inside of their circle. You make it seem like it's an us against them situation when it truly isn't that way.

No, not at all.

-the single wing was the stuff and the forward pass would never catch on

-The pro passing game in the 60's was the future due to the excitement created by the new AFL. Running game is dead.

-70's hit and the wishbone/veer is the rage with wishbone teams Bama, OU, Texas and Nebraska leading the NCAA in offense every year and winning pretty much all national titles.

The fun n gun comes to town. Will never be stopped Spurrier has one exactly one title and the fun n gun is pretty much a footnote in history.

Offensive innovation is nothing new and is predicated on how defenses adjust. Once they do, said offense dies. Usually takes about 10 to 15 years for it to become null. Right now the spread is all that but not winning titles. The same thing that won 100 years ago wins today. Playing Defense. I know it doesnt seem that way right now, especially to the younguns who havent seen these offenses come and go but football has been played a lot longer than the last 15 years and potent offenses have come and they have gone. Don't confuse DT with mobile. TOday, John Elway would be considered DT. No, the death of the Dan Marino is not here. It never will be. A good mobile QB is always gonna be a plus but the Nick Marshalls and Michael Vicks of the world are not the future. In 2020, there will be new hot offense and it too, will die.
