It may have been complicated, but college offenses and defenses are very, very more complex than high school, so frankly, it is hard to say how complex they really were. I think the bigger issue is most players did not like him and that he held grudges against players. If he was affable and the D was kicking arse, no one would have said shite about his scheme...

I agree.
The ordeal about the playbook is that it was thick because it was simplified.
Each playcall has to fit against each offensive alignment and motion that the offense throws at you.
Instead of one page for the playcall, it illustrated for dummies how each player reacts to motions and formation changes.
It is one thing to give a kid a play and tell him to learn it.
It is another to tell him how that play is affected by the tight end flaring out or with a slot man in motion. Or how his keys change if the slot guy motions into a power run formation.
Pruitt is going to have linebackers doing safety responsibilities. He will have corners doing safety responsibilities. He will have DEs dropping into zone more often. Pruitt blitzes (run blitz especially) a lot and that means more players are going to have to cover responsibilities and techniques that are not to their natural strengths.

Wasn't that the claim about Rodney Garner?
Wonder what our special teams complaint will be next year?
