Just because something is different, doesn't make it wrong. People like Cable want things simple, and for him to make a ton of money without thinking.
I think what makes it wrong to him is that he's having to teach them literally everything because they know nothing and don't know how to do anything when they get to the NFL. If NFL coaches are having to waste time teaching offensive linemen how to read a defense, then the whole idea of college football - as it pertains to preparing someone to play in the NFL - is completely pointless. Just create "minor leagues" like baseball and draft them out of high school until they're big enough to play in the NFL.
The problem is that defensive players in the NFL are SMART. In order to be effective on offense, you have to be smart and fundamentally sound.
Cable is pissed off because the people coming to him from college spread teams don't know anything and can't do anything. That makes it pretty hard to be successful at any career.

Well maybe he should draft the players that know how to do those things. If he doesn't want to teach players that, then don't draft them.

Cable is either full of crap or the best offensive line coach in the history of the game. I tend to believe it's the former. The Seahawks chose Mizzou's Justin Britt 2 years ago in the 2nd round and he has been their starting RT for both Super Bowl teams, FROM DAY 1!! He must have been a little bit prepared before he got there.

They tried this. NFL Europe failed miserably.
