Consider this about Lashlee...

Got it. Appreciate that info. I was looking at it more from a talent vs talent standpoint because I try to think of it in terms of matchups on the field. When "x" Safety lines up against "y" inside WR, who's the more talented athlete?

What coaches sometimes do is insane to me. They overcomplicate this with a rigid system - failure to adapt. Find the best on-field matchups and polish your guys to consistently win with their advantages. If there aren't advantages, the coach designs them and needs guys to be trained to win against more talented players (usually by way of deception, schematic leverage or just plain focus - which means the HC needs to evaluate players for more than just athleticism and football skills). What we've seen here over 18 years is a complete misunderstanding, in my opinion, of the coaching role. And, of leadership.

But, anyway, let's see if Lashlee can find advantages and exploit them consistently regardless of talent advantage/disadvantage.

BRAVO!

This post should be pinned as it’s own thread.

You just explained why we don’t perform anywhere close to our recruiting ranking for **** near 20 years.

These guys make checkers into chess trying to prove philosophical genius when it is way simpler than that.

You start where the team is with 6-8 plays that are your core. Inside run, outside run, a couple playaction, deep attacking and short attacking. Run these plays across multiple formations with alignment determined by formation so the defense can’t automatically read a play pre snap.

Get to the line quickly and allow the quarterback to adjust based on leverage and coverage.

Build the playbook from here with the emphasis on designs that fit the current rosters strengths and mitigate their weakness. Attack the easy money until the defense adjust, then counter the adjustment.

We always abandon what works before the defense adjusts or keep going to the well after they adjust instead of countering.

Our identity is the quick passing game, but it doesn’t fit the philosophy of the coordinators we have hired. Getting the ball out fast and complementing that with down hill running is when we have been most efficient going back to Richt.

We are ripe for an offensive turnaround on par with what Diaz did for the defense. @Lance Roffers did a post on how under Lashlee, smu got the ball out in about 2.32 seconds on average. This is exactly what we need. He may even make Diaz look like a good coach, unfortunately. Diaz isn’t ready but I hope he grows into it quickly for all of our sakes.

Look through the OP’s post history. He was slobbering all over the Enos hire.

After Manny fires Lashlee after 1 year, the OP will act like the new OC will be the solution.
 
Enos had good offenses in the SEC West Division, but sucked under Manny.

Why is somebody who was a good AAC OC supposed to do well under Manny?
