Freezes Offense-Tell me about it

Can some of you who know more X's and O's tell me about Hughs offense and how its different from Gus'? I don't really care about his off field issues in the past, I just don't understand firing Gus then hiring the "great value" version less than 2 years later.
Is Hugh less stubborn when plays just don't work or does he continue to run the same play over and over again?
After a big gain does he immediately rush to the line to run a draw up the middle for no gain?
Do his Oline men make it to the league?(This seems to be part of our Oline recruiting woes, no one wants to play in an offense that doesn't produce pros at their position).
Will he make half time adjustments? Does he play to the strengths of his team/players?
Besides Malik does he usually have QBs who can run?
I was most excited about Lane and the offense he would bring. I don't want to watch Gus offense again for 3-4 years.

It’s way more ‘Fun n Gun’ than Gus
Gus ran more of a 60/40 run to pass

He took Malik Willis and turned him into a draft pick. Gus took Malik Willis and turned him into a gimmick Qb

Not that similar honestly. Gus had a big influence early on for Freeze with the HUNH, but Freeze likes to sling it around more.

Freeze passing concepts are light years beyond Gus Tecmo Bowl Pass 1 and Pass 2

Do you have a link to an article or youtube vid that highlights these concepts? Im genuinely interested.

The problem with a Gus passing play is that it is designed to go to one guy. Thats it. NO other options.
Freeze has checks and reads in his offense

Inside The Pylon
quote:
Coaches like Bill Belichick and Chip Kelly often adjust their offensive tempo to put defenses on their heels. Hugh Freeze is no different. Mark Schofield explains how the Ole Miss coach mixes his Talladega pace and RPO concepts to keep opposing defenses honest.
quote:
Mississippi utilizes not only pre-snap RPOs, where the quarterback will make a box or ratio read up front, but also post-snap RPOs. When they run a post-snap RPO play, one of the defenders is left unblocked and the quarterback is tasked with reading that defender. Their playbook has plays that are either a first-level read, a second-level read, or even a third-level read. This means that on the first-level read RPO plays, the offense leaves a defensive lineman unblocked and the QB makes his decision off that unblocked defender’s reaction. A second-level RPO read leaves a linebacker unblocked, and so on. The play call contains a phrase or indicator for the quarterback to remind him what level he is reading on each play.

If possible, could you provide explanations in paragraph from?

Tell me exactly when Malik Willis was the correct QB choice at Auburn? You wanted Gus to sit Bo Nix and put in Malik Willis who said himself that he was not ready and did not put in the work.
I followed Malik in High School and all the way to Auburn. Nobody here wanted him to wear #14 and play for us more than me. But he was never the right choice to be our Quarterback.

Uh...Malik did that. I've posted the article multiple times that Malik said he didn't put in the work at AU. He doubled down and worked harder at Liberty.

Take Gus' offense and add a developed passing game with more passing. Gus' is running with a few simple passes threw to try and keep the other teams honest. Freeze's has and tries to make plays passing too.
On top of being less one dimensional, the passing also helps the defense get more rest with the passing stopping the clock more.

I think Bo was Gus choice because of his last name. Either way Gus wasn’t making Malik better or Bo for that matter, Freeze obviously is a superior QB development guy.

But he was never the right choice to be our Quarterback.
Was he the right QB for Auburn? nope
However, both are true no matter how much you want to spin it. Gus never motivated Malik, never developed him and sent him on his way to Liberty.
Hugh took him, developed him and broke school records with Malik. Even got him drafted.

well he was our 3rd string QB at the time so he was used very sparingly. Just as all 3rd string QBs are
Hugh built the team around him and played him at a much lower level of competition. Those 2 things are not the same at all.
Hugh did great using Maliks talent. It was a good fit. The offense at Auburn at the time he was here was not a great fit for him. Which is why he transferred. To get playing time.

It is similar to what Bama ran with Tua. Bama had a few more power run concepts, but the core is very similar.

Which ones? Not total yards. Not TDs. Not even completion pct. Plus no one keeps up with NAIA and FCS records for Liberty that I can find.
