re: 2022 Recruiting Thread

He changed his offense because everyone said he had too. That his offense was "figured out". It needed to be more balanced.

My biggest issue with him. He let the outside noise sway him. 90% of the people on this board was begging for a "balanced offense" after 2014.

Gus should have kept running HIS offense and recruiting players for HIS system.

Tom Osborne ran the same thing at Nebraska for 25 years. Same formula.
Option QBs from Florida who were exceptional runners & decent passers.
Skill position players from California.
Local kids from Nebraska, Iowa & the Dakotas who were road graders.

What Tom Osborne didn't do was worry about developing a passing QB for the NFL. Nebraska was a 10-win, Top 10, NC contending team damn near every I can remember until he retired after the 1997 season...a season that the won the NC.

That's where Gus messed up. Gus read too much into the BS and stopped doing what got him the AU job...and it ultimately cost him the job, too.
