No, I said he runs the Air Raid. Whether he has incorporated other concepts into his Air Raid since arriving at OU, I have never debated. I have actually said he has, because he now can. As Leach said, it's difficult to run what it's difficult to recruit for. The debate here is whether OU...

Huh? I don't think it's "not possible" for any team to run the football.

Yeah, man. Washington State should just go back to being able to run the football like they did before Leach.

lol. Okay. Riley doesn't run the Air Raid. Got it. Dude completely abandoned the offense he ran before he got to OU, for a power spread. He def. didn't adapt it to the power backfield OU had when he got there.

No. But to be fair, that doesn't appear to be a strength of yours. You said Leach's intent was to create a system for lesser athletes. I said their intent was to create the best offensive system. At no point does my post argue they actually did create such a system.

He still runs the Air Raid. He just runs out of it. Look, if you didn't need to brush your hair or put on a shirt to go out and get laid, you wouldn't. You'd do whatever was the absolute easiest, less burdensome practice for getting laid. But that doesn't mean it's the most efficient, or...

It's not a "lesser athlete system." It's a system frequently adopted by schools with lesser athletes, because the system is so good, it's basically the only chance they have to compete. But Leach doesn't claim he and Mumme came up with the system for lesser athletes. They instead studied every...

Huhhhhh? I keep glossing over that? You're just beating up straw men at this point. I explicitly wrote I'm not sure if he would ever recruit well enough to have gotten us over the national title hump, and that the only chance to do that would be if he hired his own version of Ron Zook. So I...

lol. Lincoln Riley runs an Air Raid. Go look at his offenses in ECU right before he came to OU. You think he actually completely changed offenses in one year? He incorporated power football into the Air Raid because OU had the personnel to run that when he got there. It's not that you can't...

Yeah, I wouldn't call the Air Raid that Lincoln Riley learned from Mike Leach, gimmicky either.

There's nothing "gimmick" about the Air Raid anymore than "OBP" is an offensive gimmick in baseball.

OU certainly had trouble scoring on Ohio State and UGA.

It's not hard to recruit down here. It's hard to bring in elite classes. But the idea that it's hard to recruit in Miami than it is the state of Washington is just silly. There is a recruiting floor here that's higher than most areas. The assumption is based on how his offenses usually fair...

Probably the same reason why Bud Foster has never been offered a coaching position, even though he is for sure one of the 5 best DCs in college football in my lifetime. Some personalities just have limitations to them. For Bud it's nothing above a coordinator job. For Leach its nothing above...

That's not really the argument though. The argument is he would get a better athlete in the Miami area than he's ever had. And that would be enough. Much like Art Briles. I have no idea if Art Briles would bring in nothing but 4* and 5* players at Miami. But I don't think it's going to...

His offense with South Florida players? We would have been scoring 45 on everybody we played the year after Coker was fired. He would have needed to hire a Zook type recruiter though to win a championship. We would have won 10+ every year, but I'm not sure how often we get over that final hump...
