It's not even close to what his system is.
If you want to know what it is... go watch some of the games where his system is fully in. Your QB, Rb, RB, Wr x what 5 are either sophomores or freshmen. To me, Leach is ahead of schedule and that's due to him actually having the talent.
As it's been said here many times before, look at what he has done in the 1.2 years he been there. Hell, you can't even count year 1. The most dramatic shift in the SEC on offense and not an easy one on defense either. People think it's simplistic, but it's not.
So here is what you had prior to Leach.
- A program imploding from Mullen leaving skill positions bare. That's evident under Moorhead.
- Moorhead lost control of a team already imploding and yes... it was and is why Mullen left. Your own player put your starting QB out of the Bowl game and the HC did not do a thing about it.... let him play.
- Leach took over and what happens. All of the sudden, you have players capable of catching a football. You have a QB that is a TRUE FRESHMAN throwing it and completing it 70% of the time.
- Leach had to clean house. You know it, I know it.
- He took a depleted team made them play above their level. He lost 3 games playing TRUE FRESHMEN at QB, RB, and WR and lost 3 games in the SEC by only 7.... 2 of those games he only had 44ish players.
Leach has always seen the rush 3 and drop 8. Nothing new. The SEC didn't magically invent it. His system beats that 2 when people do their jobs. The issue here is that you have new people on the job and they are not experienced enough. Mainly your QB and your RBs.
- RBs not seeing the holes. So they don't hit them fast. When they do, it's explosive.
- The QB plays to not make mistakes. It's a great thought, but it hurts him in that he will not push it down field until late.
Those 2 things are simply lack of experience in the system and in the SEC.
Go back and double check everything above. On paper, you beat LSU and Memphis. When you understand why you didn't, you understand why your admin pick Leach.
That OL has come together. They are giving him a lot of time and at some point, the deep stuff .. he's going to see.
