Isn't that the very definition of changing your identity?

Alabama went from a run heavy, defense oriented team, to a pass happy outscore the other teams to now going more towards a more balanced offense.
Those are three very distinct identities. I'm not saying it is a bad thing...just different from what you have been the last 4-5 years.

The real difference will be seen on defense. We're going back to our old school, tough as nails defense. Alabama will once again have a defense that people fear.



That comes from a change in your offensive philosophy. You cannot have a "old school, tough as nails defense" with a pass happy offense.

I guess my point is that we're just going back to something we've already done before. It's not like we're installing a totally new offense that the coaches are unfamiliar with.
We'll be using the same terminology, and similar concepts that will just be tailored to fit our personnel.

At this point, we don't even know who the QB will be, which will largely determine our identity.
