re: So what does this offense bring us in 2020?

He did. If you cant see the difference in the playcalling from the first 4 games to midseason to the end of the season then there isnt much to talk about.

Not only was there very little difference in play-calling from early season to mid-season to end of season (except for the Baylor game there absolutely was), but there was barely any difference from the first half of every game to the second half of every game.

If Zamir White came in during Vanderbilt, it was about a 90% chance he was running a dive up the middle.

And guess what, when he came in during LSU, it was about a 90% chance he was running a dive up the middle.

We'd have a successful throw to Eli Wolf in the first half of a game, and then never throw to him again. Instead, we'd throw 5-6x to Simmons, and he'd drop 4 of them.

People weren't complaining about us running up the middle for no or little gain all the time because it made them feel good or they were delusional and all somehow mistakenly seeing the same false images.

We were all scratching our fricking heads as to why Simmons was the target of the opening game bomb with LSU rather than... ANYBODY else (except Landers).

And we were all miffed as to why Woerner and Robertson were the targets on the final drive in OT against South Carolina instead of Wolf and Blaylock or Pickens. You know, guys who can actually catch.

The head-scratching and dismay in personnel packages and play-calling didn't freaking change all season long, until we got to the Baylor game.

Sure, maybe the run vs pass slightly changed (58/42 run/pass first half of season, to 53/47 run/pass second half of season), but throwing to the wrong players and telegraphing runs didn't.

Not to mention, Coley's route tree combinations were befuddling. I can't be the only one who noticed a lack of usage of the middle of the field, and an abundance of routes that didn't reach the 1st down marker when it was needed.

Look, there's a reason the guy was just replaced and we're seemingly shifting to a "pass to open the run" scheme.

I still can't believe I'm arguing with people who are indirectly suggesting Coley wasn't a problem. And after Kirby has clearly asserted that he was by hiring 3 former OC's who run a different scheme than Coley.

Just craziness.
