I think his play calling was poor, but I like the style of offense as well. I much prefer it to Sumlin's offense at Houston. If Sumlin threw the ball 50 times less a year, his offense would still lead the nation in pass attempts. So what exactly do you think the offense is turning in to? What do you have to go on? Although I've never seen Sumlin's offense at A&M, he is bringing over his offensive coordinator. I shouldn't have to defend my rationale there.

quote:
Bama runs a one back offense. It's obviously nothing close to a spread, but that's a pretty dumb qualification to use.

Sorry sorry. Running a single back spread offense is dumb to me. Handing the ball off after it is snapped back in the shotgun to a back standing still with lineman in naturally wider splits doesn't seem like it will work in the SEC.

If they run the exact same offense and are putting it up like Houston did last year, I'll agree with you for sure. I'll just wait to see it. He's run several different types of offenses.

Bama, Florida, Auburn and State all seem to hand off out of the gun quite a bit, though I don't think they use the really wide splits like Mizzou does. Using the really wide splits would piss me off as well because of the talent we have on the line.

I'm mostly playing devil's advocate because I don't know what will happen, and I don't think it would shock anyone if he's fired in 3 years. I by no means think he's some savior like idiots on TA do.
