re: Bielema was a long term fix, not a short term fix spread offense coach

no 4-2-5 defense has ever played for a national title, despite the defense’s abundance.

John Jenkins was among the first great spread coaches. His Run-N-Shoot offense helped Andre Ware win the 1989 Heisman trophy and the Cougs win ten games. After Ware came David Klingler, who had a good season in 1990 and owns the NCAA record for passing yards in a game. But then, curiously, right when Jenkins should have been hitting his stride, the Cougars collapsed. Texas A&M defensive coordinator Bob Davie noticed that the Houston offense was all about matchups, just like all spread offenses. To stop it, he popularized (in college) the “zone blitz,” which successfully disguised all matchups and blitzes before the snap. The entire rhythm of the Run-N-Shoot was thrown off, and Houston plummeted in the win column. Jenkins was fired after a 4-7 season in 1992, and the Run-N-Shoot vanished from the college ranks.

But the fun didn’t last. Purdue never won ten games, and Tiller’s best two seasons were his arguably his first two. He was fired after going 4-8 in 2008, having been unable to sustain his once-promising system. After trying another quick fix in coach Danny Hope, the Boilermakers have since hired pro-style coach Darrell Hazell to build for the long-term.

Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, 1999: The Sooners spent most of the 1900s wallowing in mediocrity, but Stoops, formerly Steve Spurrier’s defensive coordinator, hired hotshot offensive guru Mike Leach to install an Air Raid offense to complement his defense. Stoops got the Sooners back to a bowl in his first season, and then won a national championship with a junior college transfer QB in 2000.
Urban Meyer, Florida, 2005: Like Stoops, Meyer inherited a strong program fallen on harder times after Ron Zook’s collapse. He installed a spread offense and quickly won 10 games in 2005, and then claimed the national title with a mobile QB Chris Leak in his second season.
Chad Morris, Clemson, 2011: Hot-seat coach Dabo Swinney hired Morris, a Malzahn disciple, to save his job. Morris’s offense, and young quarterback Tajh Boyd, instantly blossomed. Clemson immediately won the ACC title and has won 10 games each of the last two years, and will likely do so again. Morris is currently the nation’s highest-paid offensive coordinator with good reason.

Of course, there’s also a dark side to the quick fixes. Stoops famously hasn’t won a national title since that one in 2000. He’s only come close once, losing to Florida following the 2008 season. The Sooners’ penchant for losing big games has earned Stoops the nickname “Big Game Bob.” Worse yet, the claim I made earlier about the spread offense being a hard philosophy to “install” beyond a quick fix has shown itself to be true in the Sooners offense, which has constantly evolved over the years.
When the lineup consists of Sam Bradford at quarterback and Adrian Peterson or Demarco Murray at running back, it works. Much of the rest of the time, it doesn’t. Oklahoma owes its current 6-1 start to the defense, as the offense has struggled, never more evident than in a 36-20 loss to rival Texas.

Florida went 10-2 in Meyer’s first season with Chris Leak at quarterback, but after a national title in year two, the Gators lost three games in 2007 and five games in 2010, and Meyer resigned after Tebow graduated and Nick Saban established himself as the new king of the SEC. Meyer was undeniably successful at Florida, but most agreed that Meyer left Florida after his program had already peaked, and that Tim Tebow deserves much of the credit for all Gator success after the 2006 national title. Without him, when the system was full of “his recruits” not named Tim Tebow, the Gator offense was abysmal and the team went 7-5.
Morris saved Dabo Swinney’s job in quick fashion, but his quarterback Tajh Boyd hasn’t really progressed since a phenomenal freshman season. The Tigers were just dismantled 51-14 on their home field by their “normal American football” rivals at Florida State. This wasn’t a Petrino-versus-Alabama kind of game; Clemson’s recruiting rankings are annually at a high level, unlike what Petrino was working with.

Are you kidding me? The 'Spread' type offense has been around since the 40's at least. How is that progressive?

It's like King Solomon said: "There is nothing new under the sun." It applies to football too.

I heard this same stuff about Malzahn's system and Cam and that it wouldn't work without a superstar QB.

you heard it about chiz too right?

Bert is recruiting better than Petrino did.

You know he ran a Arkansas like, Biliema, pro style offense last year right?

or the a&m two years ago? or the a&m next year?

That team won a bowl game something Arkansas won't be capable of, and would never have lost a game 50-0 or whatever the Bama score was. You lack talent at every position outside of running backs(which are a dime a dozen) and you lack a coach capable of recruiting.

And the best receiver in the country, and one of the top 3 tackles in the country. If y'all ever had talented players maybe you'd be able to recognize them.
